1. PLANT RICHNESS AND LIFE FORM DIVERSITY ALONG VEGETATION AND FOREST USE GRADIENTS IN NORTHWESTERN PATAGONIA OF ARGENTINA
ABSTRACT The imbalace between the increase in the demand and the decrease in the supply of products from natural forests, partly explains the on-going development of exotic tree plantations. In northwestern Patagonia of Argentina, Pinus ponderosa (Pinaceae) afforestation plays a key role in ameliorate degraded soils, but may also reduce biodiversity. The eco

2. White sand vegetation in an Amazonian lowland under the perspective of a young geological history
Abstract: What controls the formation of patchy substrates of white sand vegetation in the Amazonian lowlands is still unclear. This research integrated the geological history and plant inventories of a white sand vegetation patch confined to one large fan-shaped sandy substrate of northern Amazonia, which is related to a megafan environment. We examined flo

3. Seasonal and longitudinal variation in fish assemblage structure along an unregulated stretch of the Middle Uruguay River
RESUMO Os padrões de diversidade e suas causas continuam sendo questões importantes, especialmente em ecossistemas que preservam condições naturais. Este é o caso da diversidade de peixes em grandes rios neotropicais. Neste contexto, investigamos padrões de diversidade de peixes ao longo de um extenso gradiente fluvial (ca. 450 km) no médio rio Urugua

4. Archaea diversity in vegetation gradients from the Brazilian Cerrado
Abstract We used 16S rRNA sequencing to assess the archaeal communities across a gradient of Cerrado. The archaeal communities differed across the gradient. Crenarcheota was the most abundant phyla, with Nitrosphaerales and NRPJ as the predominant classes. Euryachaeota was also found across the Cerrado gradient, including the classes Metanocellales and Metha

5. Patterns of species richness and abundance among cactus communities receiving different rainfall levels in the semiarid region of Brazil
ABSTRACT This study examines the variation in cacti species richness and abundance among sites with different average rainfall and soil types. We assessed a total of 3,660 individuals of six species of Cactaceae: Cereus jamacaru, Melocactus zehntneri, Pilosocereus gounellei, Pilosocereus pachycladus, Tacinga inamoena, and Tacinga palmadora. The greatest spec

6. Hydraulic architecture of lianas in a semiarid climate: efficiency or safety?
Xylem anatomical traits can provide insights regarding the mechanisms affecting the distribution of vascular plants across environmental gradients. In this study, we aimed to investigate the hypothesis that lianas occurring in semiarid environments have characteristics that maximize the xylem resistance to tension-induced cavitation along the root-stem-branc

7. Floristic composition and structure of an upper montane cloud forest in the Serra da Mantiqueira Mountain Range of Brazil
We analyzed the community structure of an upper montane cloud forest (elevation, 1900 m) in the Serra da Mantiqueira Mountain Range, in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Our objective was to determine the comparative tree species richness and floristic diversity within this forest, which is at one of the higher elevations in the range, in relation to surrou

8. Influência da estrutura da vegetação de um fragmento florestal nas características físicas e químicas da água e no funcionamento do ecossistema de um córrego rural
Riparian ecosystems are being rapidly degraded due to deforestation for conversion of natural areas to agriculture, pasture, and urban development. In rural areas, riparian forest remnants can be very important for biodiversity conservation and for the maintenance and improvement of water physical and chemical characteristics as the deforested stream passes

9. Gradientes edáficos e sua relação com as fitofisionomias do semi-árido meridional brasileiro / Edaphic gradients and their relationship with the vegetation types of semi-arid southern Brazil
The semi-arid region in Brazil represents a significant territorial extension, where the climate is markedly seasonal, with low rainfall, high evapotranspiration and higher temperatures. Its southern portion comprises the northern boundary between the states of Minas Gerais and Bahia. This region is dominated by dry forest vegetation type, however, different

10. Variações altitudinais na diversidade e composição em espécies de vespas e abelhas (Hymenoptera: Aculeata)
Distribution patterns of insects along elevational gradients have been described for many tropical mountains. According to the hypothesis of elevational gradient, species richness and abundance of species tend to decrease in higher altitudes. Aculeata is considered a monophyletic lineage of Hymenoptera order. They are important pollinators, but there are few

11. Análise de gradientes de solo e vegetação em mata ciliar do Rio São Francisco, norte de Minas Gerais, para fins de restauração florestal / Analysis of soil and vegetation gradients in the riparian forest of Rio São Francisco, Minas Gerais, for forest restoration
O presente trabalho teve como objetivo o estudo do componente arbustivoarbóreo em um gradiente pedológico-vegetacional de mata ciliar com influência aluvial, no Parque Estadual da Mata Seca, norte de Minas Gerais. Foram investigadas: (i) a diversidade e estrutura da vegetação e suas relações com as variáveis edáficas; (ii) a influência das caracter

12. Relações solo-vegetação no Parque Nacional da Serra do Cipó, Espinhaço Meridional, Minas Gerais / Soil vegetation relationships in the National Park Serra do Cipó, in Espinhaço Meridional, Minas Gerais
The region of Serra do Rio Cipó, in the southern part of the Serra do Espinhaço, comprises large areas of Cerrado, Atlantic forest, forest islands and one of the richest high-altitude rocky vegetation in Brazil. The ecotonal character between the Cerrado and Atlantic Forest biomes, described in many studies of regional flora and fauna, is one of the factor
