Ecological functions, including pollination services, can be successfully restored in degraded ecosystems. In this study we propose a procedure for selection of target species to be employed in the restoration of ...

This review analyzes the main conceptual and methodological differences between macro-diversity (higherorganisms diversity) and micro-diversity (microbial diversity) assessment which can limit the application of conventional ...

Effective long-term management is needed to address the impacts of invasive alien species (IAS) that cannot be eradicated. We describe the fundamental characteristics of long-term management policies for IAS, diagnose a ...

Ecological restoration by direct seeding in the Cerrado biome still lacks information about native species germination, the need for dormancy overcoming and seed bank formation. This study aims to verify the effects of ...

It has long been considered sufficient a single method or only a descriptive diagnosis to propose a new species. Recently, many works have proposed new theoretical paradigms to consider multiple sources of evidence to ...

The Pampa Húmeda region in Argentina is characterized by soybean, wheat, andmaize production, with intensive application of agrochemicals such as herbicides and insecticides. We used a joint probabilistic approach to analyze ...

We used a conjoint analysis to reveal the preferences of experts with respect to plant attributes under three different restoration scenarios (high-level conservation, functional native vegetation, perennial native pasture) ...
