Multifaceted Assessment of Amazonian Tree Diversity Reveals Pervasive Impacts of Human Modification. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
Amazonian forests impacted by humans have a reduced and different group of tree species than those forests that have never been impacted. The trees present in forests impacted by humans also have different evolutionary histories and functional characteristics.

Improving climate and biodiversity outcomes through restoration of forest integrity

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 6, December 2023., 2023
Abstract Targeting degraded areas in forested landscapes for restoration could deliver rapid climate mitigation and biodiversity conservation, improve resilience of forested lands to future climate change, and potentially reduce the trade‐offs between nature recovery and agriculture.

Depopulation and ecological degradation, two dimensions of marginalization, and peripheralization. Ecosystem integrity as an assessment factor in local revitalization

Regional Science Policy &Practice, Volume 15, Issue 7, Page 1625-1646, September 2023., 2023
Abstract Addressing the pressure that population growth puts on the environment has become a high‐level policy priority. Less discussed is the role of population decline in either enhancing or degrading the natural environment, and how the its reshaping can help new forms of de‐peripheralization and de‐marginalization.

Centring justice in conceptualizing and improving access to urban nature

People and Nature, Volume 5, Issue 3, Page 897-910, June 2023., 2023
Abstract As humanity has become increasingly urban, a growing number of people have been deprived of access to nature and the benefits it provides. This is especially true for marginalized groups, who often live in neighbourhoods where nature has been so diminished and degraded that it provides fewer types, and much lower levels of benefits.

Prioritizing areas for ecological restoration: A participatory approach based on cost‐effectiveness

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 60, Issue 6, Page 1194-1205, June 2023., 2023
The cost‐effectiveness of restoration actions depends on the type of ecosystem and degradation state. Visualizing the outcomes of alternative restoration scenarios needs participatory prioritization maps based on financial costs and the potential supply of ecosystem services.

Synthesis on the effectiveness of soil translocation for plant community restoration

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 60, Issue 4, Page 714-724, April 2023., 2023
Our analysis highlights soil translocation can be a successful restoration method across a broad range of ecosystems. However, its implementation needs to depend on a thorough evaluation of local conditions and the potential added value. Further refinement of soil translocation techniques is needed to increase success rates.

USO DE COPRODUTOS DA EXTRAÇÃO DE VERMICULITA NA PRODUÇÃO DE MUDAS DE FAVELEIRA (Cnidoscolus quercifolius Pohl.)

Holos, 2018
A extração de vermiculita gera coprodutos que ficam depositados no entorno das mineradoras, gerando poluição visual, assoreamento de rios e reservatórios e prejuízos à qualidade das águas superficiais.

Utilização do resíduo industrial ferkal na produção de mudas de Mimosa caesalpiniaefolia, em estéril de extração de argila, inoculadas com fungos micorrízicos arbusculares e rizóbio

Revista Brasileira de Ciência do Solo, 2001
Realizou-se um experimento em casa de vegetação com o objetivo de avaliar os efeitos da inoculação com fungos micorrízicos arbusculares (FMAs) e, ou, rizóbio, associados à adição de resíduo da fabricação de ácido láctico (Ferkal), na produção de mudas de

Variabilidade espacial da taxa de infiltração de água e da espessura do horizonte A, em um Argissolo Vermelho-Amarelo, sob diferentes usos

Revista Brasileira de Ciência do Solo, 2001
O experimento foi realizado no município de Vera Cruz (SP), no período de 1996 a 1998, com vistas em estudar a variabilidade espacial da taxa de infiltração de água em solo saturado e a espessura do horizonte A. O solo utilizado foi um Argissolo Vermelho-

Sistematização dos problemas geotécnicos em áreas mineiras degradadas

Geotecnia, 2009
São vários os problemas geotécnicos que ocorrem após o encerramento de uma mina, entre os quais se destacam a instabilidade de taludes, a subsidência, a degradação de acessos mineiros e a instabilidade de estruturas de armazenamento de resíduos.
