Landscape openness leads to harsher environmental conditions and reduced propagule
dispersal, but how it affects different forest attributes and over what spatial scale remains …

This study explores the relation between landscape structure and tree species richness in a
tropical area suffering deforestation since the second half of the 19th century. Three different …

Fragmentation is recognized as one of the main factors affecting species and functionality
losses in tropical landscapes. In this study, we assess how landscape quality and quantity …

A variety of human-induced disturbances such as forest fragmentation and recovery after
deforestation for pasture or agricultural activities have resulted in a complex landscape …

This study was carried out in a remnant (305.78 ha) of the Atlantic Rainforest in Northeastern
Brazil, and investigated the effects on vegetation of two edge conditions: external with …

Abstract The Atlantic Forest, a global biodiversity hotspot, has changed dramatically due to
land use pressures causing deforestation, degradation, and forest fragmentation. A major …

The correlation between vegetation patterns (species distribution and richness) and
altitudinal variation has been widely reported for tropical forests, thereby providing …

Natural forest regrowth is considered the most cost-effective strategy to promote large-scale
forest restoration, but regrowth trajectories and their consequences for nature and people …

We evaluated how tree community floristic composition, forest structure and dynamics varied
over a period of 13 years across a topographic gradient of ravines created by anthropic …

The aim of this work was to explore the relationship between tree species richness and
morphological characteristics of relief at the Ibiúna Plateau (SE Brazil). We sampled 61 plots …
