How Does the Proximity to Roads Affect Vegetation Structure, Diversity, and Species Composition? A Global Meta‐Analysis

Applied Vegetation Science, Volume 29, Issue 1, January/March 2026.
Road proximity reshapes plant communities worldwide, increasing non‐native and ruderal species while reducing vegetation structural attributes. Diversity and shifts in floristic composition and vegetation structure show context‐dependent responses, highlighting the importance of landscape context for understanding road impacts and guiding vegetation ...

The main challenges of sustainable forest management in the Amazon: why sustainable forest management in the Amazon should be reinforced? [PDF]

, 2019
Since the last 50 years, tropical natural forests have been intensively logged in the tropics to supply the increasing demand of tropical timber. Unplanned logging operations caused forest degradation leading to their conversion due to the loss of their ...

How Management Practices Shape the “Local Habitat Signature” That Modulates Bird Communities in Urban Green Spaces

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 1, January 2026.
Local scale factors, not just the broad urban gradient, are the key drivers of urban bird communities. Our multi‐scale study found that specific management practices, such as managing leaf litter depth or the presence of unmanaged tall grass, explained the largest portion of variation in bird composition.

A new species of Ribautiella (Myriapoda, Symphyla, Scolopendrellidae) from an Amazonian black-water inundation forest and notes on its natural history and ecology

, 1984
Ribautiella amazonica is described from a black-water inundation forest near Manaus, Brazil. The genus is recorded for the first time for the Americas. R. amazonica was predominantly collected from the forest soil, mainly between 7 and 14 cm depth and is

Estimating above ground net biomass change in tropical and subtropical forests: refinement of IPCC default values using forest plot data [PDF]

, 2019
As countries advance in greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting for climate change mitigation, consistent estimates of above ground biomass (AGB) net change are needed for the tropics and subtropics.

Temporal Changes in Land Use Highlight the Vulnerability of Highland Grasslands in Protected Areas in Southern Brazil

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 1, January 2026.
Subtropical Highland Grasslands showed greater net conversion than Mixed Ombrophilous Forest across our study PAs. In one PA created to conserve Highland Grasslands, net grassland loss inside the PA exceeded loss in adjacent buffer zones during the study period.
