Mortality and recruitment rates are fundamental measures of population dynamics.
Ecologists and others have defined and estimated these vital rates in various ways. We …

RESUMO O objetivo deste trabalho foi caracterizar a composição florística ea estrutura do

A significant proportion of the uncertainty in climate projections arises from uncertainty in the
representation of land carbon uptake. Dynamic global vegetation models (DGVMs) vary in …

Understanding spatial patterns of diversity in tropical forests is indispensable for their
sustainable use and conservation. Recent studies have reported relationships between …

The tree changes of 1.02 ha of montane forest at the Santa Lúcia Biological Station,
southeastern Brazil, were analyzed using two surveys separated by an interval of 11 years …

In this chapter, we describe, for the first time, the natural islands of Atlantic rainforests,
regionally known as capões (heretofore called Atlantic forest islands, or simply forest …

Deforestation and fragmentation influence the microclimate, vegetation structure, and

O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar as mudanças florísticas e estruturais da comunidade
arbórea de uma floresta sobre afloramentos calcários no município de Iaciara (14º03'53" S; …

Quantifying diversity is an old challenge for ecologists and is also a social demand given the
increasing threats to natural areas. We sought to work on these issues by using data from …

Comparative studies of tree dynamics can be useful for the conservation of forest fragments
in the Cerrado. We tested if the successional dynamics in fragments of semideciduous forest …
