Soil physical changes induced by sugarcane cultivation in the Atlantic Forest biome, northeastern Brazil

open access: yes, 2020
In northeastern Brazil, the sugarcane expansion has occurred historically over the Atlantic Forest biome. However, little is known about the physical process and changes induced by sugarcane cultivation in this biome. Thus, a field study was conducted to

Defining endemism levels for biodiversity conservation: tree species in the Atlantic Forest hotspot

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2020
Endemic species are important for biodiversity conservation. Yet, quantifying endemism remains challenging because endemism concepts can be too strict (i.e., pure endemism) or too subjective (i.e., near endemism).
