Glomalin production in Atlantic Forest: Effects of soil properties and plant families
Abstract Glomalin, a glycoprotein produced by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), contributes to soil aggregation, carbon sequestration, and nutrient cycling. We present the first comprehensive assessment of environmental factors associated with glomalin availability, measured as easily extractable (easily extractable glomalin‐related soil protein [EE ...

This research approaches the interaction between frugivorous fish and the flooded forests in the central Amazon. We evaluated the fruit consumption by fish and the seed dispersal potential along the flood gradient. We tested the hypothesis that the role of fish as seed dispersers varies between low várzea (LV) and high várzea (HV) forests.

A nature‐based approach begins by studying an existing natural ecosystem, particularly its plant species composition, to identify suitable native plants for ecological restoration. These plants are then tested through both ex situ and in situ experiments to evaluate their effectiveness in addressing environmental degradation.
