Llanos

In fact, the llanos are a very floristically heterogeneous ecoregion. ❋ Unknown (2007)

The hilly regions are very wild, although none of the mountains are very high, and the woods are magnificent; but a great part of the land consists of vast grassy plains, which are called llanos, or campos, or silvas. ❋ Unknown (1859)

But I somehow stumbled on the llanos, which is Spanish for grasslands or plains, and it felt right. ❋ Unknown (2011)

In the east, the sparsely populated, flat to gently rolling eastern lowlands called llanos cover almost 60 percent of the country's total land area. ❋ Unknown (2008)

The western and northern boundaries and are delineated by mangroves and the Atlantic Ocean, while the eastern boundary occurs along a precipitation gradient - bordering xeric scrub and scrublands in the north, llanos and wetlands in the central portions, and moist forests in the south. ❋ Unknown (2008)

The Orinoco wetlands are flooded grassland occurring in seven distinct patches, which are embedded in a mosaic of mangroves, swamp forest, moist forest, and llanos. ❋ Unknown (2008)

Colombia has the richest avifauna of any country in the world (more than 1700 bird species), but less than 40% of them are found at the Colombian llanos. ❋ Unknown (2007)

Bird species of the area listed as vulnerable are: sharp-tailed ibis (Cerbibis oxycerca) whose distribution is restricted to the llanos and is the most scarce ibis species found in Colombia and Venezuela; and the scarlet macaw (Ara macao), the macaw most used as a pet. ❋ Unknown (2007)

In the Venezuelan llanos also 1.2 million ha are protected in the National Parks of "Aguaro-Guariquito" in the high llanos, "Cinaruco-Caparo" in the lowlands of Apure State, and "Río Viejo". ❋ Unknown (2007)

Separated physically from the Andes by the Yaracuy depression, and from the forests of the Guyanan floristic province by the extensive plains of the Andes (llanos), these mountains are isolated from one another by much drier surroundings lowlands. ❋ Unknown (2007)

The llanos ecoregion covers a large elongated area 1,200-1,300 kilometers (km) long, that extends in a gentle curve in a northeast direction, beginning at the foothills of the Oriental Andes of Colombia and extending along the course of the Orinoco River almost to its delta at the sea. ❋ Unknown (2007)

These dry forests represent a transitional area between the llanos savannas and the montane forests of the eastern Andes, and are host to a number of endemic species. ❋ Unknown (2007)

Between 1950 and 1975, 1.3 million ha were deforested in the western Venezuelan llanos; from this date to present the average deforestation rate in all Venezuelan llanos has been 34,000 ha/year. ❋ Unknown (2007)

There are 102 species of mammals in the Venezuelan llanos; about 31% of the terrestrial mammal fauna of Venezuela. ❋ Unknown (2007)

For the Colombian llanos, Rangel et al. reported 2,126 species of plants belonging to 807 genera and 180 families. ❋ Unknown (2007)

These are non-flooded savannas, that grow mainly on the "llanos altos" or highplains, over poor soils with very low nutrient content, many times with a lateritic hardpan layer near or at the surface of the soil. ❋ Unknown (2007)
