The objective of the present work is to evaluate the differences that happened after the tin mining activity in an area of the Amazon forest and establishing planning actions for recovery of the degraded lands. Samples ...

Vegetation in many arid and semiarid shrublands is frequently arranged in patches with high plant-cover (shrub patches) interspersed in a low-cover herbaceous matrix (inter-shrub areas). We hypothesized that (a) livestock ...

Rapid land use/-cover change has increasingly transformed the hydrological functioning of tropical Andean ecosystems. The hydrological response to forest cover change strongly depends on the initial state of the ecosystem. ...

In Brazil the intensive agriculture use, mainly pasture, is the main cause of the presence of extensive areas of degraded lands. This study aimed to assess the impact of different soil management practices in a pasture ...
