The pace of deforestation in tropical forests has achieved unprecedented rates, requiring
effective and achievable conservation mitigations that are also easily understood by society …

Protecting tropical forests and their biological diversity is a global priority. Understanding if
thresholds of forest cover exist beyond which biodiversity displays non‐linear declines is key …

Riparian soils, together with vegetation, play a crucial role in supporting biodiversity and
driving biogeochemical processes within river ecosystems. Conservation of riparian soils …

In this study, we used fractal analysis to monitor the space-time evolution of forest areas. By
this method, we observed the degree of fragmentation/compaction and heterogeneity …

Habitat loss and the illegal exploitation of natural resources are among the main drivers of
species extinction around the world. These disturbances act at different scales, once …

While deforestation and fragmentation can cause massive species loss in forest ecosystems,
forest regeneration can also drive successional changes in species composition. Although …

Anthropogenic habitat fragmentation combined with differential defaunation triggers
complex trophic cascades. Here we test a Fragmentation-Defaunation Cascade Hypothesis …

Unveiling the minimum amount of habitat required for different taxa represents a great
contribution of ecologists to conservation management actions at the landscape-scale …

Despite the general recognition that fragmentation can reduce forest biomass through edge
effects, a systematic review of the literature does not reveal a clear role of edges in …

Forest cover and light availability comprise key factors for plant establishment in tropical
forests. In the Brazilian Atlantic Forest (AF), Euterpe edulis (Areacaceae) is an endangered …
