MADGRASS investigates the origins and dynamics of grasslands in central Madagascar, focusing on their historical expansion and contraction in relation to climate cycles and human activity. The project employs genomic and bioinformatic methods to inform conservation strategies and protect natural grassland ecosystems.
As a consequence of anthropogenic climate change, it has been hypothesized that human-mediated deforestation degraded closed-canopy forest into grasslands dominated by fire- and grazing-resistant grasses.
There is accumulating evidence, however, that tropical grasslands are natural biomes with origins that predate human activities.
The extent to which grasslands have expanded and contracted in response to natural climate cycles versus more recent agricultural practices remains an open question a…
