Balancing tracks and trees: Assessing railroad impact on Brazilian biodiversity
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.The Brazilian West–East Integration Railway (FIOL) aims to boost the national economy by improving commodity transport; however, it crosses three of Brazil's most biodiverse and fragile regions: the Caatinga, Cerrado and Atlantic Forest. Using digitised plant records and land‐use analyses, our study reveals significant vegetation loss within the ...

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.The global coffee industry, supporting 25 million smallholder farmers, is vulnerable to climate change. Diversifying the coffee species portfolio beyond Arabica and robusta is a promising intervention. Liberica coffee could provide adaptive capacity, although its climate parameters for cultivation are poorly known.

Late Quaternary evolution of the southern Brazilian Atlantic coast
Fossil interdital and foreshore deposits are important geological sea-level proxies which preserve key information to reconstruct past changes in sea level. Such data are useful for inferring the volume of the ice sheets during past Interglacials. In particular, the Last Interglacial (LIG; Marine Isotope Stage 5e, ~ 125 ka) is considered a process ...

Exploring Costa Rica's fungal trends: Insights from digitized specimens
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Fungi are essential to tropical ecosystems but remain largely absent from conservation agendas. By analyzing over 78,000 fungal records from Costa Rica—a globally recognized biodiversity hotspot—this study reveals key patterns in fungal diversity, distribution, and seasonality.
