Maintaining connectivity is one of the main challenges for biodiversity conservation world-wide. Ecological corridors are important to maintain landscape connectivity, but their efficiency depends on landscape patterns and ...

This article is on the notions of ecological design. It focuses on the need for starting a location process in the present context of globalization. In order to understand this process from a holistic perspective, this ...

Landscapes change because they are the expression of the dynamic interaction between natural and cultural forces in the environment. As such the landscape is a palimpsest that evidences many successive transformations ...

Increasing biodiversity loss due to human activities may compromise ecosystem functions and services, with serious consequences for human well-being. Pollination and biological control are among the ecosystem services most ...

This study analyzes the process of re-categorization of the State Park of Jacupiranga into a Mosaic of Protected Areas (MOJAC) in dialogue with conservation designs recommended by the fundamentals of Landscape Ecology. We ...

Recent studies have characterized the influence of agroecosystems on biodiversity. However, a set of components associated with the management of these areas is still neglected in landscape-level studies, especially in ...

The effectiveness of ecological restoration actions toward biodiversity conservation depends on both local and landscape constraints. Extensive information on local constraints is already available, but few studies consider ...
