TLDR
The concentration of the ironstone specialist taxa is largely coincidental with the most prospective areas for iron ore mining and this will provide considerable challenges in conserving these unique ecosystems.About:

TL;DR: It is shown that campo rupestre is fully comparable to and remarkably convergent with both fynbos and kwongkan, and fulfills the criteria for a classic OCBIL.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biodiversity hotspots and Ocbil theory
TL;DR: It is illustrated that the principles of OCBil theory are key to conservation of biodiversity at global scale and provide new directions for research that can improve the theoretical and practical contributions of Ocbil theory.

Aleksandra Skirycz,Alexandre Castilho,Cristian Chaparro,Nelson Carvalho,George Tzotzos,Jose O. Siqueira +5 more
TL;DR: Environmental factors that shaped canga vegetation, canga biodiversity, physiological mechanisms to play a role, and ways to protect and restore canga will be reviewed.

Mine land rehabilitation: Modern ecological approaches for more sustainable mining
Markus Gastauer,Joyce Reis Silva,Cecílio Frois Caldeira Júnior,Silvio Junio Ramos,Pedro Walfir Martins e Souza Filho,Antonio Eduardo Furtini Neto,José Oswaldo Siqueira +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a methodologies that incorporate up-to-date phylogenetic information or knowledge about intraspecific variation along rehabilitation trajectories must be developed to enhance the rehabilitation process and to overcome these challenges.

Soil-vegetation relationships on a banded ironstone 'island', Carajás Plateau, Brazilian Eastern Amazonia
Jaquelina Alves Nunes,Carlos Ernesto Gonçalves Reynaud Schaefer,Walnir Gomes Ferreira Júnior,Andreza Viana Neri,Guilherme Resende Corrêa,Neal J. Enright +5 more
TL;DR: It is inferred that Edaphic (pedological) factors are crucial in explaining the types and distributions of campo rupestre vegetation associated with ferruginous ironstone uplands (Canga) in Carajás, eastern Amazonia, therefore the soil properties are the main drivers of vegetation composition and structure on these ironstone islands.

Ecologically meaningful transformations for ordination of species data
TL;DR: Transitions are proposed for species data tables which allow ecologists to use ordination methods such as PCA and RDA for the analysis of community data, while circumventing the problems associated with the Euclidean distance, and avoiding CA and CCA which present problems of their own in some cases.
Book
Numerical Ecology with R
TL;DR: This book is aimed at professional researchers, practitioners, graduate students and teachers in ecology, environmental science and engineering, and in related fields such as oceanography, molecular ecology, agriculture and soil science, who already have a background in general and multivariate statistics and wish to apply this knowledge to their data using the R language.
Journal ArticleDOI
Partitioning the turnover and nestedness components of beta diversity
TL;DR: In this paper, a unified framework for the assessment of beta diversity, disentangling the contribution of spatial turnover and nestedness to beta-diversity patterns, is provided, which is crucial for our understanding of central biogeographic, ecological and conservation issues.
