Resumen
The Brazilian Atlantic Forest hosts one of the world's most diverse and threatened tropical forest biota. In many ways, its history of degradation describes the fate experienced by tropical forests around the world. After five centuries of human expansion, most Atlantic Forest landscapes are archipelagos of small forest fragments surrounded by open-habitat matrices. This 'natural laboratory' has contributed to a better understanding of the evolutionary history and ecology of tropical forests and to determining the extent to which this irreplaceable biota is susceptible to major human disturbances. We share some of the major findings with respect to the responses of tropical forests to human disturbances across multiple biological levels and spatial scales and discuss some of the conservation initiatives adopted in the past decade. First, we provide a short description of the Atlantic Forest biota and its historical degradation. Secondly, we offer conceptual models describing major shifts experienced by tree assemblages at local scales and discuss landscape ecological processes that can help to maintain this biota at larger scales. We also examine potential plant responses to climate change. Finally, we propose a research agenda to improve the conservation value of human-modified landscapes and safeguard the biological heritage of tropical forests. 204 3 459 473 Alves, L.F., Vieira, S.A., Scaranello, M.A., Camargo, P.B., Santos, F.A.M., Joly, C.A., Martinelli, L.A., Forest structure and live aboveground biomass variation along an elevational gradient of tropical Atlantic moist forest (Brazil) (2010) Forest Ecology and Management, 260, pp. 679-691 Apel, M.A., Lima, M.E.L., Souza, A., Cordeiro, I., Young, M.C.M., Sobral, M.E.G., Suffredini, I.B., Moreno, P.R.H., Screening of the biological activity from essential oils of native species from the Atlantic rain forest (São Paulo - Brazil) (2006) Pharmacologyonline, 3, pp. 376-383 Arroyo-Rodríguez, V., Cavender-Bares, J., Escobar, F., Melo, F.P.L., Tabarelli, M., Santos, B.A., Maintenance of tree phylogenetic diversity in a highly fragmented rain forest (2012) Journal of Ecology, 100, pp. 702-711 Arroyo-Rodríguez, V., Rös, M., Escobar, F., Melo, F.P.L., Santos, B., Tabarelli, M., Chazdon, R., Plant β-diversity in fragmented rain forests: testing floristic homogenization and differentiation hypotheses (2013) Journal of Ecology, 101, pp. 1449-1458 Assad, E.D., Martins, S.C., Beltrão, N.E., Pinto, H.S., Impacts of climate change on the agricultural zoning of climate risk for cotton cultivation in Brazil (2013) Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira, 48, pp. 1-8 Banks-Leite, C., Ewers, R.M., Metzger, J.P., Unraveling the drivers of community dissimilarity and species extinction in fragmented landscapes (2012) Ecology, 93, pp. 2560-2569 Baptista, S.R., Rudel, T.K., A re-emerging Atlantic forest?
