Assessing spatial variability and efficacy of surrogate species at an ecosystem scale. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Preserving biodiversity is a central goal of conservation, but, in practice, monitoring biodiversity often involves assessing population trends for one or a handful of species that are presumed proxies for biodiversity. Despite the popularity of surrogate species strategies, the links between biodiversity and surrogate species are rarely ...

Effects of land cover and protected areas on flying insect diversity. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Widespread insect losses are a critical global problem. Mitigating this problem requires identifying the principal drivers across different taxa and determining which insects are covered by protected areas. However, doing so is hindered by missing information on most species owing to extremely high insect diversity and difficulties in ...

Effects of seagrass restoration on coastal fish abundance and diversity

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 6, December 2023., 2023
Abstract Restoration is accelerating to reverse global declines of key habitats and recover lost ecosystem functions, particularly in coastal ecosystems. However, there is high uncertainty about the long‐term capacity of restored ecosystems to provide habitat and increase biodiversity and the degree to which these ecosystem services are mediated by ...

Fragmentation effects on an endangered species across a gradient from the interior to edge of its range

Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 5, October 2023., 2023
Abstract Understanding how habitat fragmentation affects individual species is complicated by challenges associated with quantifying species‐specific habitat and spatial variability in fragmentation effects within a species’ range. We aggregated a 29‐year breeding survey data set for the endangered marbled murrelet (Brachyramphus marmoratus) from >42 ...

Synthesis on the effectiveness of soil translocation for plant community restoration

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 60, Issue 4, Page 714-724, April 2023., 2023
Our analysis highlights soil translocation can be a successful restoration method across a broad range of ecosystems. However, its implementation needs to depend on a thorough evaluation of local conditions and the potential added value. Further refinement of soil translocation techniques is needed to increase success rates.

Long transient response of vegetation dynamics after four millennia of anthropogenic impacts in an island ecosystem

Global Change Biology, Volume 28, Issue 21, Page 6318-6332, November 2022., 2022
In the Mediterranean region, island ecosystem dynamics have been influenced by millennia of anthropogenic impacts. Here, we analysed the spatio‐temporal dynamics of vegetation in sa Dragonera, where herbivory by goats, over‐logging and rat occurrence ended in the last decades.

Análisis de la variabilidad espacial en la precipitación en la zona metropolitana de Querétaro empleando ecuaciones de anisotropía

Investigaciones Geográficas, 2019
La cartografía en hidrología es una de las formas tradicionales de representar la variabilidad espacial de eventos climáticos y ambientales. Sin embargo, pocas veces se pone atención a cómo se construyen, por ejemplo, los mapas de isoyetas.

Patterns and controls on island‐wide aboveground biomass accumulation in second‐growth forests of Puerto Rico

Biotropica, Volume 54, Issue 5, Page 1146-1159, September 2022., 2022
Understanding the heterogeneity of biomass accumulation in second‐growth tropical forests following land use abandonment is important for informing ecosystem carbon models and forest restoration efforts. Using airborne lidar data, we quantify patterns and controls on aboveground biomass accumulation in second‐growth forests of Puerto Rico.

Variabilidade espacial dos componentes produtivos da cultura da soja

Agrarian, 2023
Objetivou-se interpretar a estrutura e a magnitude da distribuição espacial dos atributos da planta em lavoura de soja. Os atributos avaliados foram amostrados numa área de 22 ha, onde a determinação dos pontos de coleta de amostras se realizou em uma malha de 99 pontos.

VARIABILIDADE ESPACIAL DA QUALIDADE DO CAFÉ CEREJA

Revista Brasileira de Engenharia de Biossistemas, 2019
A qualidade do café pode variar espacialmente em uma mesma área de acordo com as interações do cenário ambiental e genético apresentado à cultura. Essa variabilidade espacial pode ser decisiva para o produtor, visto que o valor comercial do café é influenciado pela sua qualidade.
