Finding floral and faunal species richness optima among active fire regimes. [PDF]
Abstract Changing fire regimes have important implications for biodiversity and challenge traditional conservation approaches that rely on historical conditions as proxies for ecological integrity. This historical‐centric approach becomes increasingly tenuous under climate change, necessitating direct tests of environmental impacts on biodiversity.

Toward a functional understanding of novel fire regimes in tropical forests. [PDF]
Abstract Climate change and land‐use alterations are driving forest fires to unprecedented frequencies and intensities worldwide. Even wet tropical forests—historically rarely subjected to fire—are increasingly experiencing fire disturbances. The impact of wildfires on these forests is likely large, since many of their tree species are not adapted to ...

Multifaceted Assessment of Amazonian Tree Diversity Reveals Pervasive Impacts of Human Modification. [PDF]
Amazonian forests impacted by humans have a reduced and different group of tree species than those forests that have never been impacted. The trees present in forests impacted by humans also have different evolutionary histories and functional characteristics.

Assessing spatial variability and efficacy of surrogate species at an ecosystem scale. [PDF]
Abstract Preserving biodiversity is a central goal of conservation, but, in practice, monitoring biodiversity often involves assessing population trends for one or a handful of species that are presumed proxies for biodiversity. Despite the popularity of surrogate species strategies, the links between biodiversity and surrogate species are rarely ...

As dunas de Quiaios e o risco de incêndio. Uma breve reflexão
Relativamente ao sistema dunar de Quiaios, ainda activo no início do século e que, para ser fixo, foi sujeito à sementeira de um pinhal, discute-se agora o modo como obstar à propagação dos incêndios florestais, o seu novo risco. Preconiza-se a plantação
