Restoration Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 8, November 2025.The role of forests undergoing restoration in mitigating climate change is widely accepted. However, periodic assessment of aboveground biomass (AGB) accumulation in actively restored areas is scarce, particularly in tropical forests. Here, we estimated AGB as an indicator of carbon stocks in six Atlantic Forest native species reforestations aged 4–20 ...

Vertical stratification and effect of petiole and dry leaf size on arthropod feeding guilds in Cecropia pachystachya(Urticaceae) [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2015 AbstractThis study aimed to test for vertical stratification and the effects of dry leaf size on herbivore and predator arthropods and petiole length on insect borers in Cecropia pachystachya. The leaves were sampled in three strata: attached to the plant, suspended on the vegetation and on the ground.
