Influence of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi and Silicon on Soybean Growth and Development in the Field

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment
Applications of silicon (Si) and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) to soils to increase plant resistance and plant growth and development are potential alternatives in soybean cultivation. Si and AMF promote growth and stress tolerance through increased

Ranging ecology and resource selection of white-lipped peccaries (Tayassu pecari) in the world's largest tropical agricultural frontier. [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2023
White‐lipped peccaries (Tayassu pecari) play a crucial role in forest structure, biodiversity maintenance, and nutrient cycling as ecosystem engineers and key seed predators. Using GPS data from tracked individuals in large‐scale mechanized agriculture landscapes in Mato Grosso, the largest producer of soybean and maize in Brazil, we investigate home ...

Effects of forest degradation on Amazonian ferns in a land‐bridge island system as revealed by non‐specialist inventories

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 3, Issue 1, January–March 2022., 2022
Tropical forests have been rapidly deforested and degradation worldwide has outpaced biodiversity field sampling. We here show that a simple sampling protocol carried out by a non‐specialist can lead to inexpensive and highly reliable ecological data.

Using plant circadian programs to optimize agrochemical use. [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary Agrochemicals play an important role in maximizing agricultural yields. One class of agrochemicals is herbicides, which are used for weed control and to kill the top growth of certain crops before harvest. We examine the influence of plant circadian regulation on herbicide effectiveness to exemplify how knowledge of the circadian clock could be

Hyperdominant Trees Reveal Savanna Vulnerability Under Climate Change. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
The Brazilian Cerrado's forest structure relies disproportionately on just 30 hyperdominant tree species, which represent 50% of all individuals despite accounting for only 2% of species richness. This study evaluates their vulnerability under climate change scenarios for 2100.
