How are we choosing species for direct seeding restoration in megadiverse neotropical landscapes? Recommendations from projects implemented in Brazil

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Direct seeding for ecological restoration is a cost‐effective and scalable method, but its effectiveness largely relies on choosing the appropriate species. Understanding the criteria used to select species is critical for optimizing restoration outcomes, especially in the face of limited resources and ongoing environmental changes.

Which indicators are most effective at detecting rapid shifts in soil health?

open access: yesAgricultural &Environmental Letters, Volume 11, Issue 1, June 2026.
Abstract Farmers are showing a growing interest in soil health. Therefore, it is necessary to understand how and when indicators respond to changes in land management. Measurements of soil carbon (C) and nitrogen can take up to a decade to shift. However, it is unknown how other biotic markers of soil health (i.e., nematode communities) react.
