). Annual rainfall is commonly less than 750 mm ( Leal et al. 2005 ), and it is highly variable ( Moura and Shukla 1981 ). The region experiments a peculiar intra-annual rainfall regime, with a maximum in March–April over the north and the center part and in November–March over the southern part. Cerrado is a tropical savanna covering 22% of Brazil’s territory. The overall amount of rain is usually between 800 and 2000 mm yr −1 ( Ratter et al. 1997 ), mostly distributed between October and April

–2030 mm), and mostly as snow above around 6000 ft (1800 m). However, most regions eastward of the crest are in a rain shadow, annually receiving less than about 25 in. (635 mm). Summers are dry, with afternoon thunderstorms occurring mostly from North American monsoon in mid- and late summer. This makes Nevada the driest state in the United States. The progression of biotic zones along increasing elevation in the Sierra Nevada is the western foothills of grassland/savanna/woodland, Pinyon pine
