The Future of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest

2021
The Atlantic Forest, one of the most diverse biomes in the world, is possibly one of the best places to understand how the evolutionary process develops in tropical systems. This characteristic made it recognized as one of the most important biomes for the world, which was ratified through the construction of a legal framework that guarantees its ...

Spectral variability of atlantic forest species

2013 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium - IGARSS, 2013
This paper investigates the spectral variability of Brazilian Atlantic Forest trees. Spectroscopy data (reflectance and transmittance) of full sunlight leaves were collected. The root mean square difference between pairs of spectra were used to estimate within- and between-species variability.

Conserving Brazil's Atlantic forests—Response

Science, 2014
Buckley and Pegas claim that it would be politically difficult to reallocate agricultural subsidies to conservation. In our Report, we compare the economic costs of a strategy in which land is set aside for restoration to what is currently spent on agricultural subsidies. We do not suggest that agricultural subsidies be reallocated to conservation, but

Random forest for spatialization of daily evapotranspiration (ET0) in watersheds in the Atlantic Forest

Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 2022
The importance of daily data on reference evapotranspiration (ET0) has increased in recent years due to its relevance in planning and decision making regarding irrigated agriculture, water production, and forest restoration. Facing the scarcity of this information measured in loco, the study of interpolation methods capable of representing ET0 becomes ...

The Atlantic Forest: An Introduction to the Megadiverse Forest of South America

2021
The Atlantic Forest, the second largest forest in South America and one of the most biodiverse biomes in the world, is also one of the most threatened and important for conservation. In this chapter, we introduce the Atlantic Forest focusing on describing the evolution of knowledge, the geographical limits, and the current proposals of sectorization in

Primates of the Atlantic Forest

1996
The Atlantic forest extends from the north-east of Brazil, state of Rio Grande do Norte, and including inland forests (brejos) in the state of Ceara, south along eastern Brazil, through the southernmost state, Rio Grande do Sul, into the northeastern tip of Argentina in the province of Misiones and between the Rios Parana, Uruguai and Iguacu.

Stability of Atlantic kelp forests

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 1988
plants. The Nova Scotian kelp forest thinned out over the winter as kelp blades eroded and, presumably, as plants were dislodged during winter storms. Rapid kelp growth and recruitment resulted in the closure of the canopy shortly after. Surprisingly, there was no effect of understory seaweeds on the recruitment of L.

Bacterial Diversity in Tree Canopies of the Atlantic Forest

Science, 2006
We found an extraordinary level of bacterial biodiversity in the tree leaf canopy of a tropical Atlantic forest by using culture-independent molecular methods. Our survey suggests that each tree species selects for a distinct microbial community. Analysis of the bacterial 16S ribosomal RNA gene sequences revealed that about 97% of the bacteria were ...
