Abstract: Abstract Advances in remote sensing technology can help estimate biodiversity at large spatial extents. To assess whether we could use hyperspectral visible near‐infrared (VNIR) spectra to estimate species diversity, we examined the correlations between species… read more here.

Abstract: Refugia within successional mosaics where localized conditions inhibit successional replacement may support large abundances of early colonizing species and their coexistence with strongly competitive late colonizers. Numerous habitats have been hypothesized as refugia from succession… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract The Tropical Dry Forest (TDF) is one of the most highly transformed and threatened neotropical systems in the world and much of its original area has been replaced by secondary forests. Therefore, it is… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Landscape dynamics pose substantial challenges to biodiversity conservation and could compromise the future effectiveness of protected areas (PAs). Multiple interacting drivers of landscape dynamics, including land-cover change, wildfire, and climate change, are usually studied… read more here.

DOI: 10.5194/bg-2017-369
Abstract: Eco-physiological characterization of photoautotrophic communities is not only necessary to identify the response of carbon fixation related to different climatic factors, but also to evaluate risks connected to changing environments. In biological soil crusts (BSCs),… read more here.
