Benefits of urban trees to people and their potential contribution to all the 17 sustainable development goals
Urban trees provide crucial ecosystem services to humans • Urban trees can contribute to food security • Urban trees have the potential to conserve biodiversity • Urban trees meet all the SDG targets • Urban trees act as nature-based solutions to build sustainable cities Urbanization threatens biodiversity, ecological resilience, and human well-being. Currently, the critical role of urban trees in human well-being and mitigating environmental cha…
Urban Agriculture: Setting the Agenda on Plant-pollinator Interactions Among Food Plants, Research Funding, and Policy Actions
We review published research on plant-pollinator interactions among food plants in urban agriculture worldwide and provide a critical overview of the spatiotemporal distribution of knowledge, urban plant-pollinator profiles, and research funding for urban agriculture and ecosystem services. We also highlight the potential of urban agriculture to create pollinator-friendly spaces that support local pollinator conservation. We conclude that pollina…
The Perceptions of Forest‐Dwelling Communities of Fire‐Induced Forest Degradation in the Amazon and Its Implications for Improving Biocultural Restoration
Accidental fires pose a huge threat to the integrity of tropical forests, including the social forests managed by traditional populations in the Brazilian Amazon. Thus, understanding and incorporating the perception of local actors in strategies to search for solutions is an urgent demand. This study examines the perception of residents of three indigenous communities of the Tapajós –Arapiuns Extractive Reserve, eastern Amazon, about the causes a…
Açaí palm intensification reorganizes woody plant assemblages at multiple spatial scales in an Amazonian estuarine forest
The exploitation of nontimber forest products has been proposed as a sustainable way to exploit tropical forests, but such an opportunity remains to be examined case‐by‐case. We examine the impact of the intensification of the açaí palm ( Euterpe oleracea ) management for fruit production via increments in palm clumps/stems density on the woody plant assemblages (adult and regenerating) in an estuarine forest landscape in the eastern Amazon regio…
Recurrent wildfires alter forest structure and community composition of terra firme Amazonian forests
Wildfires associated with land-use and climate change have considered a key driver to the Amazon forest collapse. However, achieving a detailed understanding of how human-related disturbances impact forest successional trajectories needs comprehensive information spanning forest strata. Here, we investigate the impact of recurrent wildfires on forest structure, species diversity, and composition, making a comprehensive assessment of the regenerat…
Protected areas and the neglected contribution of Indigenous Peoples and local communities: Struggles for environmental justice in the Caatinga dry forest
Despite evidence about the contribution of Indigenous Peoples and local communities (IPLCs) to conservation, prevailing strategies still seek their separation from nature, often triggering conflicts. Current pledges to expand global protected area coverage suggest a need for the critical analysis of governance quality and the way conservation interacts with the well‐being of IPLCs. We present the case of Catimbau National Park in the Caatinga dry…
Paradoxically striving for food security in the leading food-producing tropical country, Brazil
Patterns of Biological and Utilitarian Diversity of Plants Through a Dry Forest Precipitation Gradient
Climate change will likely threaten areas of suitable habitats for the most relevant medicinal plants native to the Caatinga dry forest
Disruption of ecosystem services associated with climate change may affect human well-being in different ways. Medicinal plants provide extremely relevant ecosystem services. Here, we tested the hypothesis that highly suitable habitats (i.e. suitability ≥ 0.8) for medicinal plants in Caatinga dry forest may be potentially contracted under scenarios of climate change, which are represented by different levels of increases in greenhouse gas emissio…
Introduced goats reduce diversity and biomass of herbs in Caatinga dry forest
Herbivores are considered important drivers of vegetation shifts in rangelands worldwide. In the Brazilian Caating a years in 16 paired exclosure versus free‐access plots. Exclosure of goats caused a small but significant increase in the species diversity and above‐ground biomass of herbs that varied strongly with time. Taxonomic dissimilarity between exclosure and free‐access was small and due to the turnover of a few species, however, tended to…

Chronic human disturbance affects plant trait distribution in a seasonally dry tropical forest
The effects of human disturbance on biodiversity can be mediated by environmental conditions, such as water availability, climate and nutrients. In general, disturbed, dry or nutrient-depleted soils areas tend to have lower taxonomic diversity. However, little is known about how these environmental conditions affect functional composition and intraspecific variability in tropical dry forests. We studied a seasonally dry tropical forest (SDTF) und…
