Sampling frequency to estimate cumulative nitrous oxide emissions from the soil [PDF]
Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira: The objective of this work was to assess the influence of gas sampling frequency on the cumulative emissions of nitrous oxide (N2O) from the soil. Gas emissions were assessed over a period of two years (2014-2016), in four systems: eucalyptus forestry,

Emerging Urban Forests: Opportunities for Promoting the Wild Side of the Urban Green Infrastructure [PDF]
, 2019 Many cities aim to increase urban forest cover to benefit residents through the provision of ecosystem services and to promote biodiversity. As a complement to traditional forest plantings, we address opportunities associated with “emerging urban forests”

Land use, associated eel production, and abundance of fish and crayfish in streams in Waikato, New Zealand [PDF]
, 1997 The density and biomass of fish and crayfish, and the production of eels, was compared among streams in native forest, exotic forest, and pasture. Populations were estimated by multiple-pass electroshocking at 11 sites in hill-country streams in the ...

Assesment of soil erosion by 137Cs technique in native forests in Londrina City, Parana, Brazil
Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2007 The aim of this work was to assess the soil erosion process in native forest by the 137Cs methodology. The mass balance model was applied to assess the rates of soil loss in three native forests around of Londrina city, Paraná, Brazil. 137Cs distribution

Differential temporal beta‐diversity patterns of native and non‐native arthropod species in a fragmented native forest landscape [PDF]
, 2018 An important factor that hinders the management of non‐native species is a general lack of information regarding the biogeography of non‐natives, and, in particular, their rates of turnover.
