Abstract:: ... Rehabilitation of tailing dams poses important challenges because sterile materials and poor or even toxic soils hinder plant development and the regeneration of the pre-mining-activity biota. In this study, we analyzed the effectiveness of rehabilitating a 14-year-old manganese tailing dam by comparing three different regeneration treatments (topsoil application, seedling plantation and spontaneo ...

Subject:: community structure; phylogeny; trees; uncertainty
Abstract:: ... Soft polytomies emerge due to the application of handmade supertrees in phylogenetic community analysis, thus increasing uncertainties regarding phylogenetic diversity or community structure indices. Real-time integration of advances in phylogenetic knowledge among species from public data repositories, such as Open Tree of Life, may reduce this uncertainty. Based on an interface with Open Tree of ...

Abstract:: ... Shifting cultivation is a traditional land-use system to ensure livelihood in the Northern Amazon. Here, we evaluated how intensification of shifting cultivation (SC) affects secondary forest recovery in the northern Amazon forest. To measure intensity of shifting cultivation, we used the number of previous SC cycles. We selected three study sites containing second-growth forest (SG) with differen ...

Subject:: dry environmental conditions; ground vegetation; herbaceous plants; herbivores; nurse plants; phylogeny; species diversity; trees; vegetation
Abstract:: ... Nurse plants reduce the environmental severity experienced by neighboring plants by providing shade, enabling nutrient accumulation or protection from herbivores within patches of vegetation. Nurse plants should preferentially promote the coexistence of ecologically dissimilar species with little niche overlap, and if ecological traits are conserved within evolutionary lineages, this should result ...

Subject:: ecological function; edge effects; extinction; forest restoration; habitat fragmentation; habitats; landscapes; models; phenotype; phylogeny; species diversity; trees; tropical forests
Abstract:: ... Fragmentation of tropical forests is a major driver of the global extinction crisis. A key question is understanding how fragmentation impacts phylogenetic diversity, which summarizes the total evolutionary history shared across species within a community. Conserving phylogenetic diversity decreases the potential of losing unique ecological and phenotypic traits and plays important roles in mainta ...

Abstract:: ... Prevention is the most effective way of mitigating the negative impacts of exotic species invasions on biodiversity. Preventative measures include inhibiting the further dispersal and recruitment of established invasive species. We expect coffee production in agroforestry systems to reduce the recruitment of exotic species relative to monoculture stands because intercropped trees function as envir ...
