Microclimate drives demographic compensation in a narrow endemic tropical species. [PDF]
New PhytolSummary Demographic compensation occurs when reductions in some vital rates are offset by increases in others, allowing populations to maintain similar performance across varying environments. This mechanism may help explain species' ecological distributions and range limits, yet its role at microenvironmental scales remains poorly understood.

Subterranean fauna associated with mesovoid shallow substratum in canga formations from southeastern Brazil: invertebrate biodiversity of a highly threatened ecosystem. [PDF]
Sci RepIron Formations (IF) are threatened by mining, particularly the Mesovoid Shallow Substratum (MSS), an understudied subterranean environment. We evaluate the spatiotemporal patterns of subterranean fauna in MSS of iron duricrust (canga) in the Iron ...

Enhancing iron biogeochemical cycling for canga ecosystem restoration: insights from microbial stimuli. [PDF]
Front MicrobiolIntroduction The microbial-induced restoration of ferruginous crusts (canga), which partially cover iron deposits and host unique ecosystems, is a promising alternative for reducing the environmental impacts of the iron mining industry.

Floristic data to support conservation in the Amazonian canga
Biota Neotropica, 2023 Canga is an environment of great natural and economic value because it harbours a considerable number of endemic species on a substrate that is rich in iron ore. In the Amazon, this open vegetation type grows on top of isolated outcrops in a dense forest
