"cerradao”) on flat tops & steep sides of plateaus, on steep hilly land, and on
some areas of rolling or flat dry land; (2) “tabuleiro”, a semi-closed woodland,
or “cerradao”, of different physiognomy & species composition, on tops of hilly
or gently rolling land; (3) “mata”, a closed tropical forest of many tree species,
usually with palms, in flat stream valleys and in or alongside of brook ravines &
courses; (4) “caatinga”, a semi-open forest of few forest tree species on low
moist flat land and in narrow valleys between “tabuleiro”-covered hills; (5) “var-
jao”, low moist flat land with scattered forest trees of one or a few species;
(6) “cocal”, thick groves of babagu palm on flat river plain of Rio Parnaiba and
some of its tributary streams Min¿vegetation types completely deciduous during
dry season. All brooks intermittent?. Annual ground fires and cattle grazing In

“mata” and much “caatinga” & “varjao” cultivated or abandoned, forming dense
secondary vegetation of low trees & tall shrubs (“capoelra”); some areas of
“chapada” with dense secondary vegetation (“carrasco”). Upland soils grayish
