Brazil seed transfer zones: Supporting seed sourcing for climate‐resilient ecosystem restoration
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Brazil has tens of millions of hectares of degraded land that must be restored to meet national and global biodiversity and climate goals. Sowing genetically diverse native seeds is key to restoring degraded lands to climate‐resilient landscapes, but we still lack guidance on how to effectively match seed sources to restoration sites across broad ...

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Tropical rivers play a key role in regional carbon budgets, yet greenhouse gas (GHG) dynamics in regulated systems remain poorly understood. This study investigates the seasonal variability of carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) concentrations, isotopic composition (δ13C), and river‐atmosphere fluxes in the lower Tocantins River, a ...
