The GrassSyn dataset: Soil organic carbon stocks in Brazilian grassy ecosystems. [PDF]
J Environ QualAbstract Although ecosystem management and restoration are known to enhance carbon storage, limited knowledge of ecosystem‐specific soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks and processes hinders the development of climate‐ready, biodiversity‐focused policies. Baseline SOC stocks data for specific ecosystems is essential.

Assessing the mechanisms and impacts of shrub invasion in forests: A meta‐analysis
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 60, Issue 11, Page 2314-2326, November 2023., 2023 Taken together, these results suggest that restoration efforts should focus on (i) increasing the presence of strong native competitors or functionally diverse native communities, (ii) decreasing sources of invasive shrub propagules while keeping the canopies closed when invasion occurs via high propagule pressure, (iii) avoiding management techniques ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 4, April 2023., 2023 Briefly, we assess the impacts of forest conversion on the functional diversity of dung beetles in two different regions of Brazil, considering in particular intraspecific variation. To do this we conducted standardized surveys in seven forest fragments and adjacent pastures for every region and measured fourteen traits in individuals collected in each

Value of human‐modified forests for the conservation of canopy epiphytes
Biotropica, Volume 54, Issue 4, Page 958-968, July 2022., 2022 Although HMFs provide important refuge for many species, our results show that they do not provide suitable conditions for the maintenance of current or future canopy epiphyte communities. Our findings suggest that conserving large continuous old‐growth forests is the only viable conservation option for protecting most vascular epiphytes.

Journal of Ecology, Volume 109, Issue 10, Page 3473-3486, October 2021., 2021 Our experimental evidence suggests that soil nutrient limitations may slow down forest recovery after repeated wildfires in Amazonian floodplains. Yet, because floodplain trees are able to germinate from seeds and establish successfully in twice burnt forests, seed limitation seems to be the reason why forest recovery fails persistently. Seeding native

Segurança ocupacional em sistemas de gestão da floresta nativa: revisão sistemática
Ciência Florestal, 2020 O objetivo deste trabalho foi realizar uma revisão sistemática para identificar, nos sistemas de gestão das florestas nativas, quais os indicadores relacionados com a segurança ocupacional. A busca de artigos científicos com interesse para a revisão foi realizada em 16 bases de dados científicas de artigos escritos em inglês e outros recursos (revistas

AVALIAÇÃO DO DESEMPENHO DE METODOLOGIAS PARA ESTRATIFICAÇÃO VERTICAL EM FLORESTAS NATIVAS [PDF]
Ciência Florestal, 2018 A estratificação vertical, bem como vários parâmetros ecológicos de suma importância para a estrutura fitossociológica em florestas inequiâneas, reflete a quantidade de energia existente na floresta. O presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar o desempenho das metodologias usuais de caracterização da estratificação vertical em florestas.

Rapid evolution of a floral trait following acquisition of novel pollinators
Journal of Ecology, Volume 109, Issue 5, Page 2234-2246, May 2021., 2021 We test whether the acquisition of a new pollinator functional group (hummingbirds) can lead to rapid evolution of flowers after the recent trans‐continental range expansion of Digitalis purpurea. In naturalised populations in two separate regions in the Americas, we found convergent changes and strong selection for larger proximal corolla tubes, a ...

Caracterização fenotípica e parâmetros genéticos de mirtáceas nativas da Floresta Atlântica
Scientia Plena, 2023 A avaliação de recursos genéticos de espécies frutíferas nativas da Floresta Atlântica é fundamental para a sua introdução em programas de conservação e de melhoramento genético. O objetivo deste trabalho foi realizar a caracterização fenotípica e a avaliação de parâmetros genéticos e de correlações de frutos de acessos de araçaúna, cabeludinha ...
