Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Incoherence between national land use policies may weaken climate mitigation efforts by creating conditions under which agricultural and forestry production and GHG emissions are displaced across borders (leakage). Coherence depends on constellations and prioritization of national policy aims in land use (production) and climate (conservation).

Biodiversity, threats and conservation challenges in the Cerrado of Amapá, an Amazonian savanna
Nature Conservation, 2017 An Amazonian savanna in northern Brazil known as the Cerrado of Amapá is under imminent threat from poor land-use planning, the expansion of large-scale agriculture and other anthropogenic pressures. These savannas house a rich and unique flora and fauna,

Diazotrophs Show Signs of Restoration in Amazon Rain Forest Soils with Ecosystem Rehabilitation. [PDF]
, 2020 Biological nitrogen fixation can be an important source of nitrogen in tropical forests that serve as a major CO2 sink. Extensive deforestation of the Amazon is known to influence microbial communities and the biogeochemical cycles they mediate. However,

Flavour and Fragrance Journal, EarlyView.The samples were fungicidal against Candida, with MICs ranging from 62.5 to 250 μg/mL, and fungistatic against Penicillium adametzii, Aspergillus flavus and A. niger, with MICs of 1000 μg/mL. The volatile oils of Piper aduncum and Piper marginatum reduced the viability of MDA‐MB231 cells.

Pre-Columbian floristic legacies in modern homegardens of Central Amazonia. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Historical ecologists have demonstrated legacy effects in apparently wild landscapes in Europe, North America, Mesoamerica, Amazonia, Africa and Oceania. People live and farm in archaeological sites today in many parts of the world, but nobody has looked

Grassland Research, EarlyView.Plant species richness was greater in summer in both alpine and subalpine grassland ecosystems. Soil moisture demonstrates significant positive correlations with soil organic carbon and total nitrogen across seasonal periods. Microbial α‐diversity peaks during summer but maintains functional stability across seasons.

Molecular Carcinogenesis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most frequently diagnosed malignancy among men and the sixth leading cause of cancer‐related mortality worldwide. Radical prostatectomy remains the standard treatment for localized disease; however, approximately one‐third of patients develop biochemical recurrence within 10 years. Although prostate‐specific

Seed dispersal by macaws shapes the landscape of an Amazonian ecosystem
Scientific Reports, 2017 Seed dispersal is one of the most studied plant–animal mutualisms. It has been proposed that the dispersal of many large-seeded plants from Neotropical forests was primarily conducted by extinct megafauna, and currently by livestock.

Amazonian Plant Natural Products: Perspectives for Discovery of New Antimalarial Drug Leads
Molecules, 2013 Plasmodium falciparum and P. vivax malaria parasites are now resistant, or showing signs of resistance, to most drugs used in therapy. Novel chemical entities that exhibit new mechanisms of antiplasmodial action are needed.
