The Tanguro Project has begun in 2004 focusing on the development of innovative techniques for the recovery of degraded areas at the agricultural frontier. Since then, the goals have expanded. The interdisciplinary group of researchers is currently studying the processes that affect an ecosystem in order to outline an agricultural production model that is balanced with conservation of the Amazon and Cerrado.
Net primary productivity and seasonality of temperature and precipitation are predictors of the species richness of the Damselflies in the Amazon
Several hypotheses have been proposed to explain the mechanisms that generate temporal and spatial species richness patterns. We tested four common hypotheses (water, energy, climatic heterogeneity and net primary productivity) to evaluate which factors best...
