Abstract In the implantation of forests, soil tillage can affect the soil fauna, but over the years, it is possible that forest development can recompose the biological indicators of soil quality. So, the aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of different periods of eucalyptus development on co...
Abstract The production of litterfall is essential for nutrient cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. From November 2009 to October 2011, analyzed the monthly litterfall production in two areas of Caatinga, a type of Seasonally Dry Tropical Forest located in the Cariri Paraibano, in the semiarid region of t...
Introducción: La acelerada transformación de los usos del suelo en los Andes colombianos han afectado la diversidad y la provisión de servicios ecosistémicos. Objetivo: Se caracterizó la estructura y composición florística, junto a la estimación del carbono almacenado en biomasa de bosques primar...
Introducción: Los bosques montanos tropicales se caracterizan por una alta riqueza y endemismo de briófitos. Sin embargo, la diversidad es altamente sensible a cambios microclimáticos relacionados con alteraciones antrópicas. Objetivo: En este estudio, se evaluó la riqueza y composición de briófit...
The objective of this work was to evaluate the carbon content of the physical, chemical and oxidizable fractions of soil organic matter (SOM) and to calculate the carbon management index (CMI) in an area managed under an integrated crop-livestock system (ICLS) in the western region of Paraná - Brazil. T...
Understanding the influence of fragmentation on the behavior of forest essential elements in different vegetation formations is fundamental for the definition of conservation strategies. In this study, the aim was to evaluate the influence of the edge environment on the phytosocio...
Introducción: El bosque seco tropical (Bs-T) es uno de los ecosistemas más amenazados, en Colombia, presenta la mayor extensión en la región Caribe, está sometido a continua transformación, que ha ocasionado la disminución de su cobertura. Objetivo: Caracterizar la diversidad florística en térmi...
Abstract Hymenopteran parasitoids are important biological control agents in agroecosystems, and their diversity can be increased with habitat heterogeneity. Thus, the purpose of the study is to evaluate the influence of distance of rice-growing areas from natural fragment, type of crop management (organ...
Scolytinae is a beetle group belonging to Order Coleoptera; these insects play an essential role in wood degradation in forest ecosystems, since they build galleries that enable substrate colonization by other saprophytic organisms, as well as nutrient cycling. Thus, the aim of ...
A partir das interações entre clima, infraestrutura verde, centros urbanos e serviços ecossistêmicos, e dentro de uma perspectiva interdisciplinar, a tese apresenta e discute resultados de um estudo que buscou integrar e estabelecer relações entre dois níveis de análise. No nível de análise glo...
