The GrassSyn dataset: Soil organic carbon stocks in Brazilian grassy ecosystems. [PDF]

J Environ Qual
Abstract Although ecosystem management and restoration are known to enhance carbon storage, limited knowledge of ecosystem‐specific soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks and processes hinders the development of climate‐ready, biodiversity‐focused policies. Baseline SOC stocks data for specific ecosystems is essential.

Promoting landscapes with a low zoonotic disease risk through forest restoration: The need for comprehensive guidelines

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 60, Issue 8, Page 1510-1521, August 2023., 2023
Our results contribute to a more comprehensive forest restoration planning, comprising multiple ecosystem services and resulting in healthier landscapes for both people and nature. Our framework could be integrated into the post‐2020 global biodiversity framework targets.

Prioritize grassland restoration to bend the curve of biodiversity loss

Restoration Ecology, Volume 31, Issue 5, July 2023., 2023
In times of unprecedented climate change, ecological restoration efforts have a strong focus on forests for the purpose of carbon sequestration. Grasslands, in contrast, remain relatively neglected in global restoration policies. Concurrently, we are in the midst of a biodiversity crisis—it is estimated that 1 million species are globally threatened ...

Vegetation cover and biodiversity reduce parasite infection in wild hosts across ecological levels and scales

Ecography, Volume 2023, Issue 5, May 2023., 2023
Land use changes and biodiversity loss critically disrupts ecosystem functioning and are major drivers of infectious disease outbreaks. Trypanosoma cruzi, the agent of Chagas disease, is a multi‐host parasite whose epidemiology has changed due to the expansion of anthropogenic activities over natural areas.

Using drone imagery to upscale estimates of water capacity in tank bromeliads on steep neotropical inselbergs

Austral Ecology, Volume 47, Issue 2, Page 196-202, April 2022., 2022
Using simple drone‐based imagery, we were able to calculate and upscale the water tank capacity of Alcantarea distractila, a bromeliad genus which is widespread on inselbergs in Southeastern Brazil. Our results provide a first large‐scale quantification of the estimated availability of water tank reservoir of inselberg, which highlights the potential ...

Functional redundancy of Amazonian dung beetles confers community‐level resistance to primary forest disturbance

Biotropica, Volume 53, Issue 6, Page 1510-1521, November 2021., 2021
We collected dung beetles from Amazonian forests and used simulated extinction scenarios to determine how species loss influences community functional structure at regional and local scales. We found that the functional redundancy in the regional pool of species buffers the impact of local species losses and confers community‐level functional ...

Fisheries management influences phytoplankton biomass of Amazonian floodplain lakes

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 58, Issue 4, Page 731-743, April 2021., 2021
Tropical freshwaters fisheries typically assume that fish biomass is controlled by bottom‐up mechanisms, so that overexploitation of large predators would not affect overall ecosystem productivity. Our results, however, show that top‐down forces are important drivers of primary productivity in tropical lakes, above and beyond the effects of bottom‐up ...
