). The base camp was located near the southern boundary of the Amazonian mata, where, on the interfluves, close-canopied dry forest gives way to woodland cerrado, usually through a short transition of cerradão, a taller denser form of cerrado. In the valleys gallery forest follows the stream sides in both cerrado and dry forest. Campos, varying from shrub-free grassland (
