Another example:
"The cerrado sensu lato includes physiognomies such as field, savanna and forest formations, which are associated with an interaction of factors, especially climate, soil and disturbance history."

"O cerrado em seu sentido amplo apresenta fisionomias que englobam formações campestres, savânicas e florestais, que estão associadas a uma interação de fatores, principalmente climáticos, edáficos e históricos de perturbação."
