Live woody vegetation is the largest reservoir of biomass carbon, with its restoration
considered one of the most effective natural climate solutions. However, terrestrial carbon …

The Restinga forests of southern Bahia state, Brazil, grow on sandy coastal Quaternary
sediments. As their floras are relatively poorly known, the present study assessed their …

Despite its implications for carbon storage, animal conservation, and plant regeneration, the
variation in the structure of heath vegetation in South America is still poorly studied. In this …

In land cover maps, categories represent a continuum of variation and for this reason, fuzzy
set theory, which accepts degrees of membership, has been suggested for land …

Knowledge of the hydraulic properties of the soil is of crucial importance to an
understanding of the interactions between vegetation, soil and water. There is little …

Restinga formations are defined as the vegetation covering sandy coastal sediments
deposited during the Quaternary period, regardless their physiognomy. They are usually …

Swidden agriculture as a production system has been practiced for thousands of years,
based on ecological processes of forest ecosystems. While this cultivation system has often …
