Past vegetation changes in the Brazilian Pantanal arboreal–grassy savanna ecotone by using carbon isotopes in the soil organic matter [PDF]

open access: yes, 1995
Measurements of the organic carbon inventory, its stable isotopic composition and radiocarbon content were used to deduce vegetation history from two soil profiles in arboreal and grassy savanna ecotones in the Brazilian Pantanal. The Pantanal is a large

Integrating Indigenous knowledge and modern statistical approaches to model wildlife density based on animal track counts

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract In multiuse areas outside formal protection, sustaining both wildlife and people is critical to wildlife conservation and coexistence efforts. Botswana's Kalahari hosts one of sub‐Saharan Africa’s largest unprotected areas supporting free‐ranging wildlife.

Tolerance for jaguars among ranching communities in the Colombian Llanos

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Livestock protection measures are often implemented with the desired outcome of reducing retaliatory killings. We studied drivers of retaliatory killings in four communities in the Colombian Llanos and evaluated whether an electric fencing intervention would improve tolerance for jaguars.

The Adaptation of Soy-corn Double-cropping to the Brazilian Savanna [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
TWO REMARKABLE innovations have enabled Brazilian farmers to compete with the soy and corn exports of their US counterparts—breeding soybean varieties for low latitudes using biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) (Hungria, Campos, and Mendes 2001; Alves ...

Producing a Red List of Ecosystems for the Brazilian Cerrado

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Land clearance is a key driver of biodiversity loss. This is a particular issue in the Brazilian Cerrado, the world's most biodiverse savanna biome and a region experiencing the rapid expansion of agriculture. By using the Red List of Ecosystems as an international standard, we provide the first globally comparable analysis of the state of the Cerrado,

Anthropogenic Disturbances Affect the Relationship Between Spectral Indices and the Biometric Variables of Brazilian Savannas

open access: yesFloresta e Ambiente
According to previous studies involving biometric variables modeling using remote sensing (RS), data did not consider the effects of anthropogenic disturbance as relevant factor. The main objective of this study was to model aboveground biomass (AGB) and

Plant Growth and Arthropod Assemblage Metrics on Sapindus saponaria Fertilized With Dehydrated Municipal Sewage Sludge

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Under the conditions evaluated, dehydrated municipal sewage sludge increased branches per plant and ground cover in Sapindus saponaria and increased cumulative arthropod observations and species richness in selected groups. Exploratory multivariate patterns did not demonstrate direct causal plant–arthropod relationships.
