Associations between a feral equid and the Sonoran Desert ecosystem Asociaciones Entre un Equino Salvaje y el Ecosistema del Desierto Sonorense

Wildlife Monographs, Volume 215, Issue 1, July 2024.
We documented negative associations between feral burros and several elements of the Sonoran Desert ecosystem, and suggest that differences associated with this feral equid may be ecologically important and may have the potential to affect the long‐term viability of this ecosystem.

Genomic signatures of past megafrugivore‐mediated dispersal in Malagasy palms

Journal of Ecology, Volume 112, Issue 7, Page 1583-1598, July 2024.
Our results suggest that the legacy of megafrugivores regularly achieving long dispersal distances is still reflected in the population genetics of palms that were formerly dispersed by such animals. Furthermore, low genetic differentiation was possibly maintained after the megafauna extinctions through alternative dispersal (e.g.

Precipitation seasonality and soil texture interact to shape dryland recovery from severe disturbance

Journal of Ecology, Volume 112, Issue 6, Page 1356-1368, June 2024.
This study examines disturbed vegetation inside, and undisturbed vegetation adjacent to, 5600+ km of natural gas pipelines to understand patterns of NPP and shrub cover recovery in drylands. The authors found that NPP recovery was uncommon, with 58% of sites showing a plateau trajectory in recovery. Median time for shrub cover recovery was 83 years and

Adubação verde e nitrogenada sobre os componentes de produção e produtividade do feijoeiro de inverno irrigado

Semina: Ciências Agrárias, 2020
O aporte de resíduos vegetais ao solo é um dos requisitos essenciais para o sucesso do plantio direto, principalmente em áreas de clima tropical, cuja taxa de decomposição do material orgânico é elevada.

A multitaxonomic assessment of Natura 2000 effectiveness across European biogeographic regions

Conservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 3, June 2024.
Abstract The Natura 2000 (N2K) protected area (PA) network is a crucial tool to limit biodiversity loss in Europe. Despite covering 18% of the European Union's (EU) land area, its effectiveness at conserving biodiversity across taxa and biogeographic regions remains uncertain.

Co‐production of agroecological innovations to improve sustainability in South American fruit farms

People and Nature, Volume 6, Issue 2, Page 833-848, April 2024.
Abstract Agricultural intensification and expansion are the main drivers of biodiversity loss that continue to increase this century, especially in South America. International markets and global policy provide incentives and frameworks to address this, but these are unlikely to be effective unless farmers on the ground are enabled and motivated to ...

Cobertura do solo com lã ovina de descarte no controle de plantas espontâneas e produtividade do repolho

Revista Thema
As plantas espontâneas podem ocasionar reduções na produtividade dos cultivos agrícolas pela competição por nutrientes, luminosidade e água. A utilização de materiais de cobertura do solo pode auxiliar no controle dessas plantas indesejadas.

Pushing the limits of C3 intrinsic water use efficiency in Mediterranean semiarid steppes: Responses of a drought‐avoider perennial grass to climate aridification

Functional Ecology, Volume 38, Issue 4, Page 955-966, April 2024.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Intrinsic water use efficiency (WUEi) reflects the trade‐off between photosynthetic carbon gain and water loss through stomatal conductance and is key for understanding dryland plant responses to climate change.
