Abstract:
... Touriga Nacional is a well-adapted Portuguese grape variety in São Francisco River Valley (northeastern Brazil). Nevertheless, it has only been indicated to short-term consumption because of the lack of chemical stability, which is attributed to low grape acidity and incomplete phenolic maturity. Therefore, we used Ultra-Performance Liquid Chromatography coupled High-resolution Mass Spectrometry, ...

Abstract:
... Mud/debris flows are among the most challenging gravity-driven flows in environmental and geophysical processes. Natural muddy slurries and debris are solid-laden fluids where the density of the mixture can be more than twice or three times the water density and, hence, the bulk solid phase can represent 40–80% of the flow column volume. Furthermore, these unsteady flows usually occur along steep ...

Urban vegetation management needs to optimize mowing process costs and reducing impacts on the natural ecosystem. Thus, we implemented a general grass growth model suitable for UGS management in tropical areas, focused on lawns, public parks and squares, roadsides, and aro ...

Abstract:
... Neutral and niche factors influence the structure of frugivory and seed dispersal networks. While the former refers to the abundance of interacting species, niche factors refer to traits that mediate interactions between species (e.g., morphology). The challenge is to unravel in which circumstances one kind of factor predominates over the other, or how much variation is explained by each factor. W ...

Abstract:
... Saltwater intrusion can dramatically transform coastal ecosystems, changing vegetation and impacting wildlife and human communities who rely on these natural resources. This phenomenon is difficult to measure over large and remote areas but can be inferred from changes in the distribution of salt-tolerant vegetation, such as mangroves, observable from satellite imagery. The northern coast of Brazi ...
