Review of Policy Research, Volume 41, Issue 6, Page 985-1016, November 2024.Abstract Sustaining agricultural production in arid and semi‐arid regions is of paramount importance to food security, geo‐political independence, and social stability. In this context, it is vital to understand the effectiveness of policies. In this article, we aim to answer the question of what role the state and its policies play for soil protection

Journal of Ecology, Volume 112, Issue 8, Page 1804-1817, August 2024.These results highlight the importance of drought as a driver of growth in Mediterranean scrublands. Growth resilience strategies differed between species with junipers being less resilient to drought than other coexisting shrubs. Further research should investigate how this difference in post‐drought resilience is related to functional traits ...

Distinct bird communities in forests and fruit farms of Caatinga landscapes
Ibis, Volume 166, Issue 3, Page 1081-1091, July 2024.Agricultural expansion and intensification drive changes in bird assemblages and contribute to the homogenization of communities. By working across the semi‐arid biome of the Caatinga in northeastern Brazil, this study is the first to compare the bird communities found in intensively managed fruit farms with those in remnant Caatinga forest patches. We
