Large-Scale Forest Restoration Accompanied by Biodiversity Recovery in Costa Rica's Redistributive Payment for Ecosystem Service Program. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
Transforming recorded sound into meaningful ecological insights requires carefully designed methodologies. This workflow diagram describes the steps of our analysis (contained within circles labeled 1–7), which builds on best practices to correct for potential biases.

Threats to and management of Natura 2000 protected areas relative to agricultural practices. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract The Natura 2000 (N2K) network combines biodiversity protection and socioeconomic targets. Human activities, such as agricultural practices, can affect biodiversity in N2K sites in diverse ways. Limiting activities with negative impacts while enforcing land management that supports biodiversity is crucial for effective conservation.

Forest Guardians: The Role of Dense Forests and Water Networks in Supporting Lowland Tapir (<i>Tapirus terrestris</i>) Populations in the Orinoquia Region of Colombia. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Our study reveals that lowland tapir (Tapirus terrestris ) occupancy in Colombia's Orinoquia region is strongly influenced by dense forests and proximity to water bodies, while anthropogenic factors such as pastures and road networks negatively impact their presence.

Role of forest edges and other seminatural linear landscape features in structuring wild bee habitat connectivity in intensively managed landscapes. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Pollinator conservation schemes typically focus on conserving existing, restoring degraded, or creating new wild bee habitats. Their effectiveness depends on dispersal corridors enabling habitat colonization by bees. However, the role of seminatural linear landscape structures (LLS) in connecting pollinator communities across intensively ...

Plant genotypic diversity and defoliation jointly shape root exudation, fungal communities, and carbon and nitrogen cycling

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Experimental design. Summary Intraspecific plant diversity is a major component of community diversity, yet its role in shaping plant–microbial interactions and soil functioning remains poorly understood. In particular, plant genotypic diversity may modulate ecosystem responses to defoliation, a key driver of ecosystem processes in grazed systems.

Initial development of andean oak in response to management in nursery and at planting

Colombia Forestal, 2017
The establishment of plantations of Quercus humboldtii is required for the development of oak restoration programs and for commercial reforestation. In this work the effect of nursery management (relative lighting and fertilization), the characteristics ...

Parámetros genéticos de caracteres de interés agronómico en cuatro poblaciones espontáneas de Pappophorum vaginatum (Poaceae) en la región semiárida de la provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina

Lilloa, 2021
En Argentina, más específicamente en los pastizales del sur de la provincia fitogeográfica del Monte, Pappophorum vaginatum Buckley es prácticamente la única especie que provee forraje para los animales durante el verano.
