Decomposição dos detritos vegetais em rios - Um indicador do efeito do uso do solo na integridade funcional do ecossistema

A decomposição da matéria orgânica é um processo vital para o funcionamento ecológico dos ecossistemas lóticos nos quais os detritos provenientes da vegetação ripícola constituem a principal fonte de energia para as teias alimentares aquáticas. As atividades humanas, através da alteração da vegetação ripícola, da carga de nutrientes ou de poluentes na ...

Functional diversity of experimental annual plant assemblages drives plant responses to biological soil crusts in gypsum systems

Functional Ecology, Volume 37, Issue 3, Page 488-503, March 2023., 2023
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Biological soil crusts (BSC) are complex biotic aggregates comprised of lichens, cyanobacteria, algae and other micro‐organism that are known to differently affect plant development along life cycle by selecting plant functional traits based on species‐specific effects.

Functional homogenization of terrestrial mammals outside protected areas in the Hengduan Mountains, China

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract Despite the crucial role of human impacts on biodiversity loss, many assessments of this loss focus on single metrics, such as species richness, and overlook the multidimensional effects of human activities. Because of its importance to ecosystem functioning, we investigated the functional diversity of medium‐ and large‐sized mammal ...

Meta‐analysis on the effects of composition and configuration of landscape on the functional diversity of tropical mammals

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.
Our findings demonstrate that mammal functional richness in tropical regions requires integrating habitat amount and landscape configuration into land‐use planning. Conservation strategies should move beyond setting targets for total habitat area and explicitly incorporate configuration metrics that promote heterogeneity and functional connectivity. In

On the normative roles of biodiversity and naturalness in conservation

Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 5, October 2025.
Abstract Nature is an opaque concept. Consequently, the term biodiversity conservation has replaced nature conservation in most conservation contexts. We review the conceptual indeterminacies that plague the terms nature and natural but then show that comparable difficulties plague biodiversity.
