Following this lead, and with the aim of establishing their identity, an ongoing project at the Federal University of Minas Gerais is devoted to determining the contribution of the flora on ironstone outcrops to the regional plant diversity and to ascertaining the conservation status of these ecosystems throughout the Iron Quadrangle. Recently, this historical regional vocation has been heavily accelerated as a consequence of the economic emergence of China, which has generated unprecedented demand for raw materials worldwide, in particular high-quality iron ore, a phenomenon that has been termed "the China effect" in the commodities jargon.
