PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1805-1816, September 2026.Tropical forests are rapidly declining. One promising strategy to reverse the loss of tropical forest is the establishment of agroforestry on open land. We combined interviews with biodiversity surveys to learn general lessons from success and nonsuccess stories of the establishment of open‐land‐derived coffee agroforests in one of the world's ...

Guild‐Specific Frog Responses to Natural Habitat Structure Gradients in an Atlantic Forest Mosaic
Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 5, September 2026.This study investigated how habitat structure gradients are associated with frog species richness and occupancy in a naturally heterogeneous Atlantic Forest mosaic. We found that frog richness and occupancy patterns varied among ecological guilds and were highest in sites associated with lower values of the habitat structure gradient, which also ...

Novelty for the flora of Espírito Santo, Brazil: a new species of Ouratea Aubl. (Ochnaceae)
Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.Here, we describe and illustrate the new species Ouratea oberdanii Fraga & Deccache, which is named after Dr Oberdan José Pereira. This new species is found in the mountainous regions of the evergreen Atlantic Forest in the Brazilian state of Espírito Santo. Ouratea oberdanii is similar to O. linearis (A.Gray) Sastre & Offroy and O.

Carbon Stocks in Sugarcane Biomass and Their Implications on Land Use Change CO2 Balance in Brazil
GCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 8, August 2026.This paper develops a regionalized carbon stock factor for sugarcane biomass in Brazil, showing that sugarcane cultivation can lead to net carbon removal in most municipalities. The findings improve greenhouse gas inventories and support bioenergy policies by providing more accurate, spatially resolved estimates for land use change emissions.

Characterisation of Drought and Wet Events in the Paraíba do Sul River Basin—Brazil
International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 9, July 2026.Trend analysis identified statistically significant reductions in precipitation (at the 5% significance level) at specific pluviometric stations in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, while other areas, mainly in Minas Gerais, experienced significant increases in annual and seasonal rainfall, particularly during summer and spring. These significant trends at

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 11, Issue 4, July 2026.Abstract Reef fish have complex life cycles where pelagic larval survival and recruitment are linked to environmental and early life history traits (ELHTs). We combine light traps and otolith microstructure analysis to examine how environmental variables and ELHTs drive larval growth and settlement in the endemic Ophioblennius trinitatis.
