The role of tropical forest fragment vegetation in maintaining arthropod diversity and spillover to adjacent sugarcane fields O papel da vegetação de fragmentos de floresta tropical na manutenção da diversidade de artrópodes e na sua disseminação para campos de cana‐de‐açúcar adjacentes

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 1, Page 82-93, February 2026.
Tree diversity increases arthropod richness and the abundance of beneficial arthropod groups within Atlantic Forest fragments. Higher insect richness in forest fragments is associated with greater richness in adjacent sugarcane fields, and both habitats share insect families, suggesting spillover.

Seeing the woods through the saplings: Using wood density to assess the recovery of human‐modified Amazonian forests

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 106, Issue 6, Page 2190-2203, November 2018., 2018
Plant communities in human‐modified Amazonian forests appear to not be recovering a key functional property—wood density, which in turn may affect their ability to store carbon in the future. If the aim of conservation programs in tropical forests is to maintain existing rates of ecosystem functions, processes and services, then they must concentrate ...

Impacto do desmatamento de uma área de mangue no albedo superficial

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Meteorologia, 2013
Manguezais são ecossistemas peculiares encontrados nas regiões tropicais. A degradação dos manguezais altera o balanço superficial de radiação, e por consequência o albedo.

Efeito de borda na diversidade, composição e estrutura da comunidade arbórea em uma floresta estacional decidual no Brasil Central

open access: yesRevista Árvore, 2011
O efeito da distância da borda na estrutura, composição e diversidade da comunidade de árvores, considerando todos os tamanhos de indivíduos, foi estudado em um fragmento bem preservado de Floresta Estacional Decidual no Nordeste do Estado de Goiás ...

Trait coordination reveals the fast–slow plant economics spectrum along the vertical canopy profile in central Amazonian forests

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 12, Page 3596-3610, December 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Understanding how environmental drivers affect tree functioning is essential to improve predictions of tropical forests' response to climate change. While functional traits directly influence tree performance, our understanding of how canopy environments shape their ...

Potencial dendroecológico de Tabebuia heptaphylla (Vell.) Toledo

open access: yesPesquisa Florestal Brasileira, 2004
Atualmente, o uso de informações provenientes de estudos com anéis de crescimento é crescente em florestas tropicais. O Pantanal da Nhecolândia pode ser visto como uma dessas regiões, pois apresenta fatores edafoclimáticos que induzem a formação de anéis

Biomass production of tropical trees across space and time: The shifting roles of diameter growth and wood density

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 11, Page 3141-3158, November 2025.
Diameter growth is an important and good indicator of forest carbon production. However, size‐related changes in wood density, which are usually neglected, are critical for accurate short‐ and long‐term carbon assessments, especially in tropical humid sites.

CARACTERIZAÇÃO MORFOLÓGICA DOS FRUTOS DE MANGABA (Hancornia speciosa Gomes) PRODUZIDOS EM ALAGOAS

open access: yesCiência Agrícola, 2016
A mangabeira (Hancornia speciosa Gomes) é encontrada comumente a vegetar em solos de baixa fertilidade natural, especialmente dos tabuleiros costeiros e baixadas litorâneas do Nordeste e em outras áreas tropicais com solos de Cerrado no Brasil.

Effects of Long‐Term Nutrient Addition on Leaf Metabolites, Herbivory, and Mycorrhizal Spores Associated With a Savannah Woody Species

open access: yesAustral Ecology, Volume 50, Issue 11, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Given the importance of soil conditions for ecosystem functioning, fertilisation experiments are a valuable tool for assessing how systems respond to changes in soil properties. However, the effects of changes in nutrient availability on multitrophic interactions in savannah ecosystems of the Brazilian Cerrado are still scarce. We investigated
