Mixed species plantations and their potential role in innovative production systems for forest restoration
(The CGIAR Research Program on Forests, Trees and Agroforestry, Bogor (Indonesia), 2021-12)
Large-scale timber plantations are controversial in many parts of the world for numerous reasons, including direct and indirect land-use changes and associated impacts on a variety of ecosystem goods and services. The use ...
Functional responses to anthropogenic disturbance and the importance of selected traits: A study case using dung beetles
(2021-06-17)
Evaluate the functional diversity of dung beetles associated with the Atlantic Forest replacement using a matrix with 25 functional traits (10 morphological, four ethological and 11 physiological). Compare functional ...
Non-destructive estimation of the leaf weight and leaf area in common bean
(MDPI, 2022)
Regression models to predict leaf area and leaf weight in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) were fitted using the three leaflets of the leaves. A total of 1504 leaves from 40 genotypes were collected, covering a large range ...
