Multi-scale comparisons of tree composition in Amazonian terra firme forests [PDF]
Biogeosciences, 2009 We explored the floristic composition of terra firme forests across Amazonia using 55 plots. Firstly, we examined the floristic patterns using both genus- and species-level data and found that the species-level analysis more clearly distinguishes among ...

Post-fire effects on bryophytes in High-Altitude Fields
Acta Botânica Brasílica, 2022 High-Altitude Fields are ecosystems with high bryophyte abundances and diversities. One of the principal threats to these ecosystems are wildfires, which mainly affect terricolous species. Chronosequence studies can aid in understanding post-fire effects
