ABSTRACT Forest restoration has never been higher on policymakers' agendas. Complex and multi‐dimensional arrangements across the urban–rural continuum challenge restorationists require integrative approaches to strengthen environmental protection increase outcomes. It remains unclear if urban rural forest are moving towards or away from each other in practice research, whether comparing research outcomes can help stakeholders gain a clearer understanding of interconnectedness between two...
Restoration is fundamentally a hopeful intervention that can meaningfully improve the condition of human‐degraded and destroyed ecosystems. Both restoration science practice have gained special attention given recently declared UN Decade Ecosystem Restoration. Here, we present an overview historical development forest on Brazilian Atlantic Forest with emphasis in methodological technical assumptions. We gathered information from primary secondary studies to show how concepts strategies...
Small hydropower plants (SHPs) may be considered the most cost-effective and environmentally benign technology for energy production. However, it has been suggested that social–environmental impacts of SHPs could reduced through improvements to planning stage. This work aims develop a geographic information system (GIS)-based framework improve SHP in Minas Gerais State, Brazil, by providing site selection development based on restrictions. The used GIS-based multicriteria decision analysis...
Abstract Summary Advances in prediction of the 3D structures most known proteins through machine learning methods have achieved unprecedented accuracies. However, although these computed structure models (CSMs) are overall remarkably good, they still challenge accuracy at atomic level, especially refinement interatomic packing. The Occluded Surface (OS) algorithm is widely used for packing analysis. But it lacks implementations high-level languages like R and Python, limiting its...
Abstract Tropical forests are increasingly threatened by deforestation and degradation, impacting carbon storage, climate regulations biodiversity. Restoring these ecosystems is crucial for environmental sustainability, yet monitoring efforts poses significant challenges. Secondary in a constant state of flux, with growth depending on multiple factors. Remote sensing technologies offer cost‐effective, scalable transferable solutions, advancing forest restoration towards more accurate,...
In the recently declared United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration (2021–2030), evidence‐based research has an essential role in summarizing restoration outcomes toward broad generalizations to advance practice and science globally. However, present trustworthy, high‐quality recommendations, evidence reviews should be based rigorous methods that minimize bias enhance systematicity, transparency, objectivity, comprehensiveness, repeatability. To assess current value of terms...
A bibliometric analysis was performed to evaluate the research on common forest management that were influenced by seminal work of Elinor Ostrom (Governing Commons), from 1990 2018. This based online database Science Citation Index Expanded - Web Science©. Six main aspects retrieved publications evaluated: (1) publication years; (2) journals; (3) countries (or regions); (4) study approach type; (5) authors; and (6) keywords. topic has shown be relevant all over world. Authors 34 different...
Forest landscape restoration (FLR) has a central place in current global debates about the sustainability of natural resources, climate change mitigation and adaptation, livelihoods biodiversity conservation. FLR approaches support involvement different social actors participatory decision-making processes. We conducted bibliometric analysis research to provide an overview scientific publications forest restoration, local stakeholders (LS) studies, and, specifically, examine if studies (1)...
Abstract 1. Over the past decades, evidence‐based research has become increasingly important in restoration ecology. Evidence synthesis can be a powerful tool to identify most effective strategies conserve and restore ecosystems. However, reviews environmental sector have been described as non‐systematic exhibit diverse range of approaches. While it is known that syntheses substantially improve quality, reliability (i.e. level confidence an end‐user may place their methodology) remains...
Interactions between proteins and non-proteic small molecule ligands play important roles in the biological processes of living systems. Thus, development computational methods to support our understanding ligand-receptor recognition process is fundamental importance since these are a major step towards ligand prediction, target identification, lead discovery, more. This article presents visGReMLIN, web server that couples graph mining-based strategy detect motifs at protein-ligand interface...
The global demand for forest products will increase in the coming decades due to population growth and increasing environmental awareness. Therefore, production of through multifunctional restoration could be a meaningful opportunity large-scale while promoting sustainability vegetation recovery. We conducted comprehensive literature review explore how Brazil can meet growing products, thereby widespread adoption practices. number publications addressing product supply has increased, but...
Forest restoration faces persistent challenges for its financial viability due to high land opportunity costs and insufficient returns from restored areas, such as through payments ecosystem services timber production. A potential pathway is develop non-timber forest products with bioeconomic potential. Here, we explore the of native tree species growing in different types new wooded lands Atlantic forests. First, established 25 30
Bringing together and synthesizing data from several primary studies scales represents a powerful method for identifying patterns gaps within forest restoration science. In this study, we employ pioneer quantitative database‐driven review combined with spatial analysis to delineate research trends across biodiversity the Brazilian Atlantic Forest (BAF). We gathered total of 90 that met our inclusion criteria, collectively providing 822 observations (comparisons between sites reference...
