13. Longitudinal model for categorical data applied in an agriculture experiment about elephant grass
ABSTRACT Experiments where the response is a categorical variable are usually carried out in many fields such as agriculture. In addition, in some situations this response has three or more levels without an order between them characterizing a multinomial (nominal) response. Statistical models for scenarios where the observations of a nominal response can be

14. Physical Properties of Soil Structures Identified by the Profil Cultural under Two Soil Management Systems
ABSTRACT Soil structure plays an important role in water retention, infiltration capacity, porosity, and penetration resistance. The aim of this study was to evaluate the unsaturated hydraulic conductivity and physical properties of Oxisol soils (bulk density and macro-, micro-, and total porosity) in the structures identified using the profil cultural metho

15. Population structure and fruit availability of the babassu palm ( Attalea speciosa Mart. ex Spreng) in human-dominated landscapes of the Northeast Region of Brazil
ABSTRACT We studied the population structure and fruit availability of the babassu palm, Attalea speciosa, in three human-dominated landscapes located near a rural community in the region of Araripe, in the Northeast Region of Brazil, that were under intense fruit harvest. Fifty 10 x 10 m plots were randomly established in each of the three landscapes, and a

16. Dung Beetles Associated with Agroecosystems of Southern Brazil: Relationship with Soil Properties
ABSTRACT Knowing the biodiversity of dung beetles in agricultural and livestock environments is the basis for understanding the contribution that these organisms make in nutrient cycling and ecosystem functions. The aim of the present study was to investigate the structure of copronecrophagous dung beetle communities inhabiting the main agroecosystems in sou

17. Replacement of native vegetation alters the soil microbial structure in the Pampa biome
ABSTRACT: Land use change is one of the the major factors related to soil degradation and alterations in soil microbial diversity and structure. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the microbial shifts caused by deforestation of a small area of a natural forest for the introduction of a pasture in the Brazilian Pampa. The microbial abundance and structure we

18. Characterization and Classification of Soils under Forest and Pasture in an Agroextractivist Project in Eastern Amazonia
ABSTRACT: Knowledge of soils in the Amazon rainforest is becoming increasingly essential due to dynamics adopted by farmers that substitute forest for pastures, together with growing pressure from diverse segments of society towards adoption of sustainable production systems. The objective of this study was to characterize the soils along two toposequences,

19. Do the structures of macaw palm fruit protect seeds in a fire-prone environment?
ABSTRACT Fire is an abiotic disturbance that regulates vegetation structure and biodiversity. Some plant species have adapted to fire prone environments by evolving protective structures. Acrocomia aculeata (macaw palm) is widely distributed throughout tropical America, and is found in environments continuously influenced by anthropogenic fire. We aimed to d

20. Xaraés palisadegrass remains productive after the disappearance of stylo in tropical legume-grass pasture
Gradual reduction of legumes in mixed tropical pastures requires periodic oversowing. Exploiting the carrying capacity of grass for an extra year after the disappearance of legumes can be economically advantageous to the farmer. This study aimed to evaluate the productivity of Xaraés palisadegrass (Brachiaria brizantha) pastures in response to its historica

21. Sward structure and livestock performance in guinea grass cv: Tanzania pastures managed by rotational stocking strategies
Grazing strategy is a key element in the determination of sward structure, herbage nutritive value and animal performance. We aimed to compare the herbage characteristics and performance of livestock in pastures of Panicum maximum cv. Tanzania managed, using two rotational stocking strategies, which provided either a fixed-length rest period (FRP) of 35 days

22. Structural characteristics and forage mass of Tifton 85 pastures managed under three post-grazing residual leaf areas
The experiment was carried out on Cynodon spp cv. Tifton 85 pastures grazed by sheep under rotational stocking, with the objective of evaluating the structural characteristics as well as the forage mass of the pastures subjected to three grazing intensities in successive cycles. Treatments were composed of three residual leaf area indices (rLAI; 2.4; 1.6 and

23. Efeitos de diferentes matrizes no risco de predação e na movimentação de uma ave florestal / Effects of different matrices at risk of predation and movement of forest bird
Forest fragmentation alters landscape structure and its relationship with organisms, and movement is one of the most affected behaviors. Individuals who are faced with an heterogeneous landscape, composed of habitat and non-habitat areas (i.e., matrix), need to cross the non-habitat matrix in the search for resources. The choice of motion is then made by an

24. Caracterização da comunidade de mamíferos de médio e grande porte em paisagem agrícola fragmentada / Characterization of the mid and large bodied mammal community in a fragmented agricultural landscape
Agricultural expansion is a major cause of habitat fragmentation, leading to a reduction and isolation of natural areas. It is therefore important to understand the role of agricultural landscape structure and dynamics in maintaining local biodiversity. We aimed to describe how the structure and dynamics of an agricultural landscape influenced the community
