Abstract Tree monocultures constitute an increasing fraction of the global tree cover and are dominant tree‐growing strategy forest landscape restoration commitments. Their advantages to produce timber well known, but their value for biodiversity is highly controversial context dependent. Therefore, understanding whether, in which conditions, they can harbor native species regeneration crucial. Here, we conducted meta‐analyses based on a survey literature database created with local,...
The Atlantic Forest is a global biodiversity hotspot and significant provider of ecosystem services to 65% the Brazilian population. Due being highly threatened, it protected by federal law 11,428/2006, which establishes forest use restrictions based on native vegetation successional stages in Forest, with more advanced receiving protection. classification parameters are established at state level. However, employed classify fragments different subjective imprecise, negatively impacting...
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,...
