Abstract. The seasonal climate drivers of the carbon cycle in tropical forests remain poorly known, although these account for more assimilation and storage than any other terrestrial ecosystem. Based on a unique combination pan-tropical data sets from 89 experimental sites (68 include aboveground wood productivity measurements 35 litter measurements), their associated canopy photosynthetic capacity (enhanced vegetation index, EVI) climate, we ask how allocation are related to seasonality...
Large continuous rainforests are the main hope for sustaining population of large-bodied vertebrates that cannot cope with fragmentation or unsustainable hunting. The Brazilian Atlantic forest is considered a biodiversity hotspot and although highly fragmented, it still contains large patches may be important conservation mammals require areas. Here, we estimated species richness, density biomass medium- large-sized along largest remnant rainforest, Brazil (the Serra do Mar bioregion), an...
Abstract The breakdown of plant material fuels soil functioning and biodiversity. Currently, process understanding global decomposition patterns the drivers such are hampered by lack coherent large‐scale datasets. We buried 36,000 individual litterbags (tea bags) worldwide found an overall negative correlation between initial mass‐loss rates stabilization factors plant‐derived carbon, using Tea Bag Index (TBI). factor quantifies degree to which easy‐to‐degrade components accumulate during...
Summary We analysed the chemistry of solutions collected from soil by zero‐tension plate lysimeters and cup connected to a constant suction (600 hPa) under Douglas fir in Beaujolais mountains (France). The lysimeters' (ZTL) tension (TL) differed enormously: TL were most concentrated Si, NH 4 ‐N, NO 3‐ Cl − , Mg 2+ A1 3+ TOC, whereas Ca K + concentrations greater ZTL solutions. Organic matter (OM) greatly influenced solution both TL. was affected mainly OM mineralization forest floor upper...
Abstract Analysis of the structure, diversity, and demographic dynamics tree assemblages in tropical forests is especially important order to evaluate local regional successional trajectories. We conducted a long‐term study investigate how species richness, diversity secondary change over time. Trees (DBH ≥ 5 cm) Atlantic Forest southern Brazil were sampled twice during 10‐year period (2007 2017) six stands (1 ha each) that varied age from their last disturbance (25, 60, 75, 90, more than...

Abstract Questions Carbon dynamics in tropical forests is influenced by a variety of biotic and abiotic factors that act over temporal spatial scales. At the local scale, carbon stock can be determined environment ecosystem diversity. Also, during forest regeneration, which process, it expected those influence also change time. Here we examine how are age, functional diversity regeneration. Using relative effects different drivers dynamics, attempt to discern mechanisms (mass effect or niche...
The Program for Biodiversity Research (PPBio) is an innovative program designed to integrate all biodiversity research stakeholders. Operating since 2004, it has installed long-term ecological sites throughout Brazil and its logic been applied in some other southern-hemisphere countries. supports aspects of necessary understand the processes that affect it. There are presently 161 sampling (see them at Supplementary Appendix), most which use a standardized methodology allows comparisons...
O presente estudo foi realizado na Reserva Natural Rio Cachoeira, em Antonina (PR), e teve como objetivo principal avaliar a produção de serapilheira áreas floresta secundária diferentes fases sucessão (fases inicial, média avançada). As coletas foram realizadas cada 3 semanas, durante quatro anos (2004 2007), coletores circulares 0,25 m², distribuídos número dois parcela 100m². No total utilizados 60 uma área 3000 m². A coletada secada triada frações (folhas, ramos, órgãos reprodutivos...
This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of polymer used with different nitrogen and potassium sources on growth nutrition chrysanthemum (Dendranthema grandiforum, var. "Virginal") chemical characteristics substrate. Two substrates were evaluated: 1) composite 50 % organic soil, 45 sand, 5 composted tobacco; 2) plow layer soil (0-20 cm depth; red oxisol typical dystrophic). The experimental design a factorial (4x2x2) included four rates (0, 1, 2, 4 g kg-1of substrate), two ((NH4)2SO4...
RESUMO O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito da aplicação de calcário e gesso sobre crescimento nutrição leguminosas arbóreas. Os tratamentos consistiram em 5 doses calcário, 1 tratamento testemunha, com repetições cada. Foram utilizadas as espécies angico (Anadanthera colubrina) canafístula (Senna multijuga), sendo experimento conduzido casa vegetação. avaliadas pelo período 7 meses variáveis altura diâmetro, biomassa, composição química das plantas número massa seca dos nódulos...
