Climate change threatens native potential agroforestry plant species in Brazil
Climate change is one of the main drivers of species extinction in the twentyfirst-century.
Here, we (1) quantify potential changes in species' bioclimatic area of habitat (BAH) of 135 …

Land-use and land-cover change in Atlantic Forest landscapes
The Atlantic Forest is one of the most threatened tropical biomes, with much of the standing
forest in small (less than 50ha), disturbed and isolated patches. The pattern of land-use and …

Biodiversity extinction thresholds are modulated by matrix type
Biodiversity extinction thresholds are abrupt declines in biological diversity that occur with
habitat loss, associated with a decline in habitat connectivity. Matrix quality should influence …
