The dramatic increase in soil degradation in the last few decades has led to the need to
identify methods to define not only soil quality but also, in a holistic approach, soil health. In …

This review article analyzes the importance of assessing the success of ecological
restoration by using four indicators: assemblage of the plant and animal communities; …

The simplification of native habitats leads to biodiversity decline in tropical terrestrial
ecosystems. We evaluated how conversion of three types of native Cerrado vegetation …

The current demand for studies on ants in general and their communities in particular has
exponentially increased during the last decades. Much has already been said about ant …

Microhabitat differentiation of species communities such as vertical stratification in tropical
forests contributes to species coexistence and thus biodiversity. However, little is known …

Regrowing secondary forests dominate tropical regions today, and a mechanistic
understanding of their recovery dynamics provides important insights for conservation. In …

Ants are widely distributed in both tropics and temperate regions at different altitudes. They
are both scavengers and predators, and serve as indicators of climate change at micro and …

La macrofauna edáfica como parte de la biodiversidad terrestre contribuye con importantes
servicios ecosistémicos, entre los más relevantes, el secuestro y la liberación del carbono …

The impacts of urban forest fragmentation on tropical ant foraging activity are poorly
understood. The Malaysian giant ant (Dinomyrmex gigas) is among the largest ant species …

The paper suggests a minimum set of abiotic and biotic threshold indicators and progress
indicators for forest landscape restoration (FLR), then also briefly discusses progress …
