Sixty Years of Sugarcane Monoculture Alters Carbon Preservation in Large Soil Macroaggregates in Tropical Soil

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, Volume 36, Issue 12, Page 4056-4067, 30 July 2025.
ABSTRACT Frequent and intensive tillage in conventional agriculture disrupts soil aggregates, engendering significant depletion of soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks. Long‐term studies are essential for assessing the impact of sustainable practices on aggregate dynamics and carbon sequestration in sugarcane monocropping in tropical ecosystems.

Impact of land conservation status on soil functionality in degraded versus old‐growth forest in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest biome

open access: yesBiological Diversity, Volume 2, Issue 1, Page 14-27, March 2025.
Preserved forests of Ocotea porosa exhibited improved soil functionality with higher levels of soil organic matter (6.56%), exchangeable cations (e.g., Ca2+ at 3.87 cmolc kg−1), and enhanced physical properties, such as soil aggregation, than degraded forests in the Atlantic Forest biome.

Effects of Environmental Changes in Degraded Areas on the Establishment of Plant Communities in the Brazilian Cerrado

open access: yesInternational Journal of Forestry Research, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Understanding the interrelationships between plant communities and soil attributes in gully erosion can make valuable contributions to strategies focused on the conservation and recovery of degraded areas. Thus, we aimed to evaluate how the composition and structure of different plant communities are affected by soil attributes in a degraded area by ...

Diversity and dominance in bird assemblages across habitats in the Ñeembucú wetlands complex

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 56, Issue 5, September 2024.
We analyzed how the composition of neotropical bird assemblages vary among habitats (riparian forests, natural grasslands, savannas, and anthropized sites) in the Ñeembucú Wetlands Complex, the largest wetland system in Paraguay. We found a high bird richness (209 species) that contrasted with a pattern of dominance by a small set of 16 species that ...

Seeding the Pantanal: orchestrating research to overcome restoration barriers in the world's largest tropical wetland

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 5, July 2024.
Knowledge on seed ecology is foundational for effective seed‐based restoration including seedling production, direct seed sowing, topsoil transplant, and natural regeneration. Consequently, quantifying available knowledge and biases in seed‐based research allows practitioners to better plan and implement seed‐based restoration programs and identify ...
