Caatinga diaspores: Descriptive overview of dispersal units of seasonally dry tropical forests and woodlands. [PDF]

Ecology
Abstract Dispersal unit characteristics provide crucial insights into species ecology and are essential for the conservation and restoration of ecosystems. The Caatinga, the largest ecosystem of seasonally dry tropical forests and woodlands in South America, remains underrepresented in terms of dispersal unit data, which are often scattered across the ...

The role of agroforestry in restoring Brazil's Atlantic Forest: Opportunities and challenges for smallholder farmers

People and Nature, Volume 4, Issue 2, Page 462-480, April 2022., 2022
Abstract Restoring the degraded Atlantic Forest is one of the biggest conservation challenges in Brazil. In a biome with high human presence, understanding the potential for restoration approaches, such as agroforestry, to provide benefits to smallholder farmers and biodiversity is essential in developing equitable restoration strategies.

Large wild herbivores slow down the rapid decline of plant diversity in a tropical forest biodiversity hotspot

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 58, Issue 11, Page 2361-2370, November 2021., 2021
Our study indicates that large herbivores have moderate yet critical effects on slowing down community change and diversity loss of highly diverse plant communities, thus suggesting that the conservation of (and potentially trophic rewilding with) large herbivores is a fundamental nature‐based solution for averting the global collapse of the ...

Towards a global understanding of tree mortality [PDF]

new phytologist.
Summary Rates of tree mortality are increasing globally, with implications for forests and climate. Yet, how and why these trends vary globally remain unknown. Developing a comprehensive assessment of global tree mortality will require systematically integrating data from ground‐based long‐term forest monitoring with large‐scale remote sensing.

Is the methodology used in reviews of restoration outcomes reliable? A systematic map protocol

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 1, Issue 2, December 2020., 2020
Environmental reviews exhibit a considerable variation in conduct and reporting. This systematic map protocol aims to assess the reliability of restoration evidence syntheses (in terms of objectivity, comprehensiveness, and transparency) by applying the Collaboration for Environmental Evidence Synthesis Assessment Tool (CEESAT), which consists of a set
