‎First edition of Warming’s work on the 1863–1866 expedition to Lagoa Santa in Minas Gerais, Brazil, where he assisted the renowned Danish paleontologist Peter Wilhelm Lund (1801–1880), often called “the father of Brazilian paleontology.” In this seminal study, Warming documented the local flora and analyzed plant adaptations to the harsh conditions of the Cerrado biome such as drought and fire. The publication remains a landmark in the history of ecological research. Johannes Eugenius Warming (1841–1924), commonly known as Eugen Warming, was a pioneering Danish botanist widely recognized as one of the founding figures of modern ecology. He authored the first textbook on plant ecology in 1895, introduced the first university course in the subject, and helped define the scope and content of ecological science. In 1975, ecologist R. J. Goodland asserted: “If one individual can be singled out to be honoured as the founder of ecology, Warming should gain precedence” (""The Tropical Origin of Ecology: Eugen Warming's Jubilee""). Warming wrote a number of textbooks on botany, plant geography and ecology, which were translated to several languages and were immensely influential at their time and later. Most important were “Plantesamfund and Haandbog i den systematiske Botanik”.‎

‎First Portugese translation – with the translator’s presentation inscription - of Warming’s pioneering ecological study based on Warming’s fieldwork in Brazil during the 1860s. It represents one of the first systematic attempts to understand vegetation not merely through taxonomy but in relation to environment, function and adaptation. Translator Ferri (1918 – 1985) pioneered field work in Plant Ecology in Brazil. His PhD thesis was one of the first scientific works of an experimental nature in the study of ecology of the vegetation of the cerrados. Warming spent several years (1863–1866) in the region of Lagoa Santa in the state of Minas Gerais, assisting the paleontologist Peter Wilhelm Lund, considered the father of the paleontology of Brazil.During this time, he undertook detailed observations of the local flora, particularly the cerrado vegetation—Brazil’s savanna biome. Unlike many of his contemporaries, Warming did not limit himself to cataloguing species. Instead, he explored how plants interacted with their environment: how they survived drought, coped with fire, and responded to poor soils. His focus on the functional aspects of vegetation-structure, life-form, and adaptation was deeply innovative and helped lay the groundwork for what would later become the discipline of ecology.‎
