1. Response of mangrove plant species to a saline gradient: Implications for ecological restoration

ABSTRACT Mangroves are salt tolerant plants that occur in tropical and sub-tropical sheltered coasts. Saltwater intrusions into terrestrial landscapes often occur due to either anthropogenic reasons or natural calamities such as tsunamis. We investigated the potential of using mangrove species for rehabilitation of high saline environments by revealing the c

2. Restauração passiva em pastagens abandonadas a partir de núcleos de vegetação na Mata Atlântica, Brasil

Resumo Os núcleos de vegetação são estruturas formadas espontaneamente por pequenos agrupamentos de indivíduos arbustivos e arbóreos, que, ao evoluírem em pastagens perturbadas, podem contribuir na sucessão ecológica. Para compreender a evolução dos processos de restauração florestal passiva em ecossistemas tropicais, depois de paralisada a pecu

3. Geospatial analysis of the effects of tsunami on coral and mangrove ecosystems of Mayabunder in Andaman Islands, India

Abstract Mangroves and coral reefs are among the major ecosystems of tropical and subtropical coastlines. The Andaman group of islands, situated at the juncture of Bay of Bengal and Indian Ocean, are one of the richest coastal ecosystems of India in terms of biodiversity. Since the tsunami waves of 2004 affected this region severely, the outer fringes as wel

4. Um novo ecossistema: florestas urbanas construídas pelo Estado e pelos ativistas

resumo Historicamente, a expansão das cidades resultou na substituição da paisagem natural pela urbana, tendo como consequência a degradação ambiental por meio das mudanças na cobertura do solo, nos sistemas hidrológicos, nos ciclos biogeoquímicos, no clima e na biodiversidade, tornando as cidades especialmente vulneráveis às mudanças climáticas

5. The challenge of restoring tropical freshwater ecosystems

Resumo Vivemos um processo mundial crescente de degradação das bases de sustentação da vida. No Brasil esta ameaça se intensifica pela fragilização crescente das estruturas de proteção ambiental. A restauração ecológica é uma alternativa para enfrentar a degradação dos ambientes aquáticos. Ela tem sido empregada em maior escala nas regiões d

6. Functional patterns of tree communities in natural Araucaria forests and old monoculture conifer plantations

ABSTRACT A functional perspective of tree communities is helpful for understanding forest dynamics, especially vegetation recovery after other land uses. Knowledge about ecological filters and survival strategies of trees are also important for the restoration of degraded areas. This study aimed to evaluate the functional composition and structure of adult a

7. Soil Seed Banks in a Forest Under Restoration and in a Reference Ecosystem in Southeastern Brazil

ABSTRACT The current study aims to characterize the soil seed banks in a forest under restoration and in a seasonal semideciduous forest remnant, as well as to quantitatively and qualitatively compare them in order to evaluate the seed bank potential to influence the restoration process. In total, 60 samples of soil seed banks were collected in two adjacent

8. O uso de sistemas agroflorestais diversificados na restauração florestal na Mata Atlântica

Resumo Com a nova legislação ambiental brasileira vislumbra-se a possibilidade do uso de sistemas agroflorestais diversificados para recompor áreas de preservação permanente e reserva legal, principalmente em pequenas propriedades rurais. Uma pergunta que surge, diz respeito à capacidade desses sistemas em reduzir custos na restauração florestal e, a

9. Plant-canopy Effects on Natural Regeneration in Sites Under Restoration: Do Tree Species Matter?

ABSTRACT How does species choice influence ecological restoration outcomes? In order to answer this question, the goal of this study was to assess the community structure and species richness of natural regeneration beneath the canopy of four native species from the Atlantic Forest (Guarea guidonia (L.)

ABSTRACT The objective of this work was to evaluate the forest restoration of the basin of Guapiaçu river in Cachoeiras de Macacu, Rio de Janeiro state, using the families of Termites as tools for environmental assessment. We analyzed the population fluctuation and feeding guilds of the families of Termites: Kalotermitidae, Rhinotermitidae and Termitidae. S

ABSTRACT The soil properties reported in areas with different management provide useful information about the systems’ operation, state of conservation and resilience. In this way, this study evaluated physical properties and organic matter dynamics of soil under different plant covers in seven areas consisting of: five areas under ecological restoration (

12. Restoring Ecological Functions Using Agroforestry Systems in Riparian Forests

ABSTRACT Agroforestry systems and restoration models were compared with native forests by examining the restoration of ecological processes that generate stability, resilience and reliability. The stability assessment was obtained using indicators of diversity, structure and functionality. Indicators of soil protection and nutrient cycling were also used to
