Habitat modification and seasonality influence avian haemosporidian parasite distributions in southeastern Brazil.

PLoS ONE, 2017
Habitat modification may change vertebrate and vector-borne disease distributions. However, natural forest regeneration through secondary succession may mitigate these effects.

Rebuilding the Brazilian rainforest: Agroforestry strategies for secondary forest succession

Applied Geography, 2013
Abstract Does the adoption of agroforestry by small farmers in the Brazilian Amazon promote secondary forest succession on the degraded pastures and crop fields? New results from a small-scale farm agroforestry demonstration project, the Rondonia Agroforestry Pilot Project (RAPP) that began in 1992 are presented in this paper.

Shifts in fungal community diversity and potential function under natural forest succession and planted forest restoration in the Kunyu Mountains, East China

Ecology and Evolution
Soil fungi participate in various ecosystem processes and are important factors driving the restoration of degraded forests. However, little is known about the changes in fungal diversity and potential functions under the development of different ...

Twenty years of population dynamics in European beech-oak forest at their rear range margin anticipate changes in its structure and composition

Forest Ecosystems
There is an increasing interest in restoring degraded forests, which occupy half of the forest areas. Among the forms of restoration, passive restoration, which involves the elimination of degrading factors and the free evolution of natural dynamics by ...

Twenty years of post-fire plant succession in a "cerrado", São Carlos, SP, Brazil

Brazilian Journal of Biology
Secondary succession in degraded areas is little studied, especially where long-term observation of evolutionary processes is concerned. The aim of this work was to follow the qualitative and quantitative changes in vegetation throughout the regeneration

Resilience of Aboveground Biomass of Secondary Forests Following the Abandonment of Gold Mining Activity in the Southeastern Peruvian Amazon

Diversity
Amazon rainforests are critical for providing a wide range of ecosystem services. In the Southeastern Peruvian Amazon; however, goldmining activities are causing severe soil degradation and forest loss.
