Compost as a means for the ecological succession in an area affected by opencast mining in the La Vega river basin, Tunja, Boyaca

Colombia Forestal, 2015
The application of compost to promote ecological succession in an area affected by opencast mining in the La Vega river basin was studied. Three treatment concentrations were established in plots of 25 m2 in a completely randomized experimental design ...

Unravelling the spatial and temporal variability of natural disturbances in European forests

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 4, April 2026.
The heterogeneity of natural disturbance patterns and high temporal variability across European Forest suggest the need of adopting context‐dependent management strategies tailored to both the dominant disturbance agent and local environmental conditions, particularly in the most vulnerable regions, such as the Iberian Peninsula—with large and frequent

Nocturnal Gardeners: Dispersal of Large Seeds by Tent‐Roosting Bats in the Lacandon Rainforest, Mexico

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
Tent‐roosting bats in the Lacandon Forest, Mexico, play a previously undocumented role in dispersing large seeds (> 5 mm) from mature forest species with important ecological and human uses. Sampling 21 feeding tents across two protected areas yielded 2137 seeds from 54 species, with seed deposition rates significantly higher under bat tents than in ...

Forest structure and connectivity drive the functional recovery of seed rain

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 2, February 2026.
Local forest structure and landscape‐scale connectivity shape distinct but complementary pathways of the functional recovery of seed rain in tropical forests. Structural complexity promotes functionally diverse plant–frugivore interactions locally, while connectivity facilitates the arrival of late‐successional seeds from external sources.

CORPORATE FUTURES, ENERGY TRANSITION, AND NATURAL PROSTHETICS IN COLOMBIA'S CESAR MINING CORRIDOR

Cultural Anthropology, Volume 41, Issue 1, Page 134-162, February 2026.
ABSTRACT This essay examines the socioecological transformations of mining and post‐mining landscapes in the mining corridor of the Cesar Department, northern Colombia. When an open pit mine is about to close or has recently closed, companies promote post‐mining strategies framed as ecosystem restoration and social compensation.

Un aporte al entendimiento de la lignificación de los pastizales/sabanas del Chaco Semiárido sudamericano

Ecología Austral, 2021
Aunque los pastizales/sabanas del Chaco Semiárido sudamericano se han lignificado masivamente, la ecología del fenómeno es poco conocida y las iniciativas de restauración son casi inexistentes.

Trait‐based species selection for restoration: A case study from tropical landscapes dominated by bracken

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 1, January 2026.
Our results can be used by stakeholders to select the species best suited for active restoration projects in bracken‐dominated areas throughout the tropical region. Furthermore, our trait‐based approach, which considers seedling performance in disturbed areas, can serve as a guide for species selection in restoration programmes in other disturbed ...
