Mapping Resilient Landscapes to Climate Change in a Megadiverse Country. [PDF]

open access: yesGlob Chang Biol
Our mapping of terrestrial climate‐resilient sites for biodiversity across Brazil identifies sites with greater chances of providing suitable conditions for species to persist under regional climate change. Landscape resilience information has the potential to be used to effectively guide decision‐making and public policy on strategies for conservation,

BioTIME: A database of biodiversity time series for the Anthropocene. [PDF]

open access: yesGlob Ecol Biogeogr, 2018
Abstract Motivation The BioTIME database contains raw data on species identities and abundances in ecological assemblages through time. These data enable users to calculate temporal trends in biodiversity within and amongst assemblages using a broad range of metrics.

Caatinga diaspores: Descriptive overview of dispersal units of seasonally dry tropical forests and woodlands. [PDF]

open access: yesEcology
Abstract Dispersal unit characteristics provide crucial insights into species ecology and are essential for the conservation and restoration of ecosystems. The Caatinga, the largest ecosystem of seasonally dry tropical forests and woodlands in South America, remains underrepresented in terms of dispersal unit data, which are often scattered across the ...

Protected areas and the neglected contribution of Indigenous Peoples and local communities: Struggles for environmental justice in the Caatinga dry forest

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 5, Issue 6, Page 1739-1755, December 2023., 2023
Abstract Despite evidence about the contribution of Indigenous Peoples and local communities (IPLCs) to conservation, prevailing strategies still seek their separation from nature, often triggering conflicts. Current pledges to expand global protected area coverage suggest a need for the critical analysis of governance quality and the way conservation ...

Promoting landscapes with a low zoonotic disease risk through forest restoration: The need for comprehensive guidelines

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 60, Issue 8, Page 1510-1521, August 2023., 2023
Our results contribute to a more comprehensive forest restoration planning, comprising multiple ecosystem services and resulting in healthier landscapes for both people and nature. Our framework could be integrated into the post‐2020 global biodiversity framework targets.

Effects of time since invasion and control actions on a coastal ecosystem invaded by non‐native pine trees

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 3, Issue 1, January–March 2022., 2022
Pine invasion reduced native species abundance, plant cover, richness and diversity, with an increase over time since invasion. Species diversity and richness were lower in the managed area than in the area that had not been invaded. Restoration activities are therefore required to increase native species diversity.

Towards a global understanding of tree mortality [PDF]

open access: yesnew phytologist.
Summary Rates of tree mortality are increasing globally, with implications for forests and climate. Yet, how and why these trends vary globally remain unknown. Developing a comprehensive assessment of global tree mortality will require systematically integrating data from ground‐based long‐term forest monitoring with large‐scale remote sensing.

Is the methodology used in reviews of restoration outcomes reliable? A systematic map protocol

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 1, Issue 2, December 2020., 2020
Environmental reviews exhibit a considerable variation in conduct and reporting. This systematic map protocol aims to assess the reliability of restoration evidence syntheses (in terms of objectivity, comprehensiveness, and transparency) by applying the Collaboration for Environmental Evidence Synthesis Assessment Tool (CEESAT), which consists of a set

Meio ambiente e ciência ecológica. Distopia e restauração socioambiental no Paraná: uma abordagem a partir de Programas de Desenvolvimento Regional Sustentável

open access: yesNovos Cadernos NAEA
As mudanças ambientais globais, a falta de políticas públicas eficazes para a prevenção e enfrentamento de fenômenos extremos, como a desertificação, as elevadas temperaturas climáticas, as tempestades, impõem problematizar a ecologia da restauração como
