Effects of environmental conditions and space on species turnover for three plant functional groups in Brazilian savannas

Effects of environmental conditions and space on species turnover for three plant functional groups in Brazilian savannas

Aims Different plant functional groups display diverging responses to the same environmental gradients. Here, we assess the effects of environmental and spatial predictors on species turnover of three functional groups of Brazilian savannas (Cerrado) plants—trees,...

Effects of experimental fires on the phylogenetic and functional diversity of woody species in a neotropical forest

Effects of experimental fires on the phylogenetic and functional diversity of woody species in a neotropical forest

Although tropical forest fires are naturally rare, they have become more frequent and intense in response to recent changes in land use and climate. This shift in fire regime may drive widespread forest degradation in Amazonia, with important consequences not only...

A social-ecological approach to identify and quantify biodiversity tipping points in South America’s seasonal dry ecosystems

A social-ecological approach to identify and quantify biodiversity tipping points in South America’s seasonal dry ecosystems

Tropical dry forests and savannas harbour unique biodiversity and provide critical ES, yet they are under severe pressure globally. We need to improve our understanding of how and when this pressure provokes tipping points in biodiversity and the associated...
