Journal ArticleDOI
Microclimatic conditions at forest edges have significant impacts on vegetation structure in large Atlantic forest fragments
Luiz Fernando Silva Magnago,Luiz Fernando Silva Magnago,Luiz Fernando Silva Magnago,Mariana Ferreira Rocha,Mariana Ferreira Rocha,Leila Meyer,Sebastião Venâncio Martins,João Augusto Alves Meira-Neto +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the relationship between microclimate and vegetation structure (for instance, basal area, trees mean height, dead trees and damage trees) at the edge of forest fragments in the Atlantic Forest domain was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Would protecting tropical forest fragments provide carbon and biodiversity cobenefits under REDD
Luiz Fernando Silva Magnago,Luiz Fernando Silva Magnago,Ainhoa Magrach,William F. Laurance,Sebastião Venâncio Martins,João Augusto Alves Meira-Neto,Marcelo Simonelli,David Edwards,David Edwards +8 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that macroscale models of cobenefits under REDD+ have likely overlooked key benefits at small scales, indicating the necessity to apply models that include finer-grained assessments in fragmented landscapes rather than using averaged coarse- grained cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Secondary forest fragments offer important carbon and biodiversity cobenefits.

Da Silva,Marcelo Simonelli,Felicity A. Edwards,Sebastião Venâncio Martins,João Augusto Alves Meira-Neto,David Edwards +12 more
TL;DR: This work investigates whether natural forest regeneration on abandoned pastureland offers co-benefits under FLR and other carbon-based payments for ecosystem service schemes, and finds positive relationships between carbon stock and tree diversity recovery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of landscape configuration and composition on phylogenetic diversity of trees in a highly fragmented tropical forest
Fabio Antônio Ribeiro Matos,Fabio Antônio Ribeiro Matos,Luiz Fernando Silva Magnago,Markus Gastauer,João M. B. Carreiras,Marcelo Simonelli,João Augusto Alves Meira-Neto,David Edwards +7 more
TL;DR: Changes in MPD and sesMNTD suggest that extirpation of species at edges or in highly fragmented landscapes increases the dominance of species within a subset of clades (phylogenetic clustering), likely those adapted to disturbance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Acacia longifolia invasion impacts vegetation structure and regeneration dynamics in open dunes and pine forests.
Katherine G. Rascher,André Große-Stoltenberg,Cristina Máguas,João Augusto Alves Meira-Neto,Christiane Werner +4 more
TL;DR: The replacement of drought tolerant native species by the water spending invader, A. longifolia, may have serious implications for ecosystem functioning, especially during the prolonged drought periods predicted to occur in Portugal in the future.
