Defaunation affects carbon storage in tropical forests
Carolina Bello,Mauro Galetti,Marco Aurélio Pizo,Luiz Fernando Silva Magnago,Mariana Ferreira Rocha,Renato A. F. de Lima,Carlos A. Peres,Otso Ovaskainen,Pedro Jordano +8 more
TL;DR: It is found that defaunation has the potential to significantly erode carbon storage even when only a small proportion of large-seeded trees are extirpated, a serious risk for the maintenance of tropical forest carbon storage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional attributes change but functional richness is unchanged after fragmentation of Brazilian Atlantic forests
Luiz Fernando Silva Magnago,Luiz Fernando Silva Magnago,David Edwards,David Edwards,Felicity A. Edwards,Ainhoa Magrach,Sebastião Venâncio Martins,William F. Laurance +7 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the interiors of even small fragments can contain important biodiversity, ecosystem functions and carbon stores, offering potential opportunities for cobenefits under existing carbon markets.
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.
