WOODY DEBRIS CHARACTERIZATION IN A SMALL BASIN WITH ARAUCARIA FOREST [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Geomorfologia, 2021 The effect that wood deposited in a river, woody debris (WD), causes on its hydrogeomorphic processes depends on the dimensions of the wood and the channel. Studies related to WD are still very rare in Brazil. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to demonstrate the feasible methodology of field survey and to characterize the WD along a ...

Thermophilic fungi in Araucaria Forest, Atlantic Forest Biome, Brazil
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2021 Thermophilic fungi constitute an ecologically well-defined group, commonly found in environments wherever decomposition of organic matter takes place, making them self-heating. The importance of thermophilic fungus in ecosystems contrasts with the incompleteness of our understanding of the group's biogeography patterns, phylogenies and coevolution ...

Old-growth and secondary Araucaria Forest characterization
Trees, Forests and People, 2022 The Araucaria Forest is one of the most threatened ecosystems in Brazil due to selective logging and deforestation, mainly during the 20th century. The great majority of remnants are secondary forests with less than 50 ha, i.e., old-growth fragments are extremely rare.

Collaborative management as a way to enhance Araucaria Forest resilience [PDF]
Perspectives in Ecology and Conservation, 2021 Abstract People and nature interact since millennia in forests worldwide, but current management strategies addressing these ecosystems often exclude local people from the decision-making process. This top-down approach is the cornerstone of conservation initiatives, particularly in highly threatened and fragmented forested ecosystems.

Soil spiders (Arachnida: Araneae) in native and reforested Araucaria forests [PDF]
Scientia Agricola, 2021 ABSTRACT: Spiders are part of the soil biodiversity, considered fundamental to the food chain hierarchy, directly and indirectly influencing several services in agricultural and forest ecosystems. The present study aimed to evaluate the biodiversity of soil spider families and identify which soil properties influence their presence, as well as ...

Wood anatomical traits of the Araucaria Forest, Southern Brazil [PDF]
Bosque (Valdivia), 2016 The goal of the present study was to find a pattern regarding wood anatomical features for the Araucaria Forest. For that, we studied the wood anatomy of 17 tree species characteristics of this forest formation of Southern Brazil. The species were selected based on the amplified importance value.
