The resilience or sensitivity of seasonally dry tropical forests (SDTF) to climate change
remains an important issue because of their biodiversity and ecosystem services provision …

The distributions of species of Fabaceae are strongly related to the soil. Their presence can
alter restrictive conditions and favour the establishment of other species. However, it is still …

The extent (or lack) of phylogenetic signal for key ecological traits reveals the role of
evolutionary processes on present‐day ecosystem function and hints on future ecological …

Soil is a relevant driver of taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic composition at local
scales. However, the mechanisms by which the soil act in these components or how these …

We investigated the biogeographic transitions among the main Brazilian phytogeographic
domains, focusing on general floristic patterns. Based on data from 352 locations, we …

Abstract The Guayana Highlands (GH) represents a major center of Neotropical plant
diversity and endemism. Considering the lack of information about the ecology of plant …

Species–habitat associations can be used as a proxy for species niches. Previous research
has shown that niche plasticity may increase diversity in plant communities, and that …

The present study was intended to characterize the responses of soil microbial community to
organic carbon sources in rice-rape rotation farmland in Erhai Basin, Yunnan, China. The …

Abstract Butia eriospatha (Mart. ex Drude) Becc. is a subtropical endemic palm tree that
occurs in the Southern Brazilian Highlands. A vast area of its natural habitat has been lost by …
