VIABILIDADE DE SEMENTES DE PUPUNHA (BACTRIS GASIPAES KUNTH) [PDF]
Acta Amazonica, 1992 A viabilidade e o vigor das sementes de pupunha (Bactris gasipaesKunth) são assoiados com a perda de umidade das mesmas. Partindo de um teor de umidade inicial de 45%, foi observado que abaixo de 38% de umidade a emergência e o vigor das sementes foram afetados negativamente de maneira significativa.

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 5, July 2026.Abstract Introduction Forest fragmentation and defaunation are major drivers of biodiversity loss in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil, where 70–90% of tree species depend on animal‐mediated seed dispersal. Reintroduction of large frugivores, such as cracids, is being used to restore species populations and lost ecological functions.

Patterns of Tree Species Abundance and Diversity on Urban Sidewalks in Macapá, Amapá, Brazil
Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 2, March 2026.This study presents the first systematic inventory of street trees in Macapá, Northeastern Brazilian Amazon. Results reveal a dominance of exotic and fruit‐bearing species, low tree density, and a replacement of large canopy trees by smaller ones, indicating potential losses in ecosystem services and the need for more biodiversity‐focused afforestation
