Our aim was to explore the potential of Cerrado, a biodiversity hotspot which is a reservoir of genetic resources of agriculture-relevant traits to be used towards enhancing the sustainable use of agriculture in the region. We searched for pertinent articles dealing with all relevant aspects of Cerrado that we cover in our review. We focus on P-acquisition and P-use strategies, aluminium resistance, and plant water relations. We review results from a wide range of sources, to develop a case to curtail further destruction of native Cerrado vegetation, and works towards more sustainable crop and pasture systems in the region. We highlight many genetic resources that have tremendous potential to improve sustainable crop yield, while maintaining the key ecosystem services provided by the Cerrado that support agriculture. We conclude that the Cerrado is a rich source of plant species and plant traits to deal with environmental constraints such as soils with a low availability of P, a low pH, high availability of Al, and a low availability of water. Allowing species extinction to continue will make many untapped resources unavailable for future generations for incorporation into agriculture. Rather than allow further destruction to continue, scientists should explore relevant traits in native Cerrado species towards sustainable yields of currently used land.

建立更可持续的耕作制度：塞拉多本地物种的经验教训

我们的目标是探索塞拉多（Cerrado）的潜力，该地区是生物多样性的热点地区，该地区是与农业相关性状的遗传资源的库，可用于增强该地区农业的可持续利用。我们搜索了与Cerrado所有相关方面相关的文章，这些文章在我们的评论中涵盖。我们专注于P的获取和P的使用策略，耐铝性以及植物水的关系。我们将审查来自各种来源的结果，以开发一个案例，以减少对塞拉多原生植被的进一步破坏，并努力在该地区建立更可持续的农作物和牧场系统。我们重点介绍了许多遗传资源，这些遗传资源具有巨大潜力，可提高可持续作物的产量，同时保持塞拉多提供的支持农业的关键生态系统服务。我们得出的结论是，塞拉多（Cerrado）是应对环境限制的丰富植物物种和植物特性的来源，例如土壤中P含量低，pH值低，Al含量高，水含量低的土壤。允许物种继续灭绝将使子孙后代无法利用许多未开发的资源纳入农业。科学家们不应该继续破坏，而应该探索塞拉多本地物种的相关特征，以实现目前使用土地的可持续产量。允许物种继续灭绝将使子孙后代无法利用许多未开发的资源纳入农业。科学家们不应该继续破坏，而应该探索塞拉多本地物种的相关特征，以实现目前使用土地的可持续产量。允许物种继续灭绝将使子孙后代无法利用许多未开发的资源纳入农业。科学家们不应该继续破坏，而应该探索塞拉多本地物种的相关特征，以实现目前使用土地的可持续产量。
