Plant invasions can have wide-ranging ecological impacts at different scales on natural communities, and affect fundamental ecosystem functions for the conservation of ecosystem services. In southeastern Brazil, invasive herbaceous plants, such as white ginger (Hedychium coronarium) and elephant grass (Cenchrus purpureus), can alter the diversity of native species in riparian areas, as we…
This project aims to evaluate and better understand likely biodiversity loss of native flora subjected to two strong degradation vectors - biological invasions and woody encroachment throughout the the Cerrado biome - as well as develop techniques for restoring and conserving native communities to support policies and practices for the management of biodiversity in protected areas (PAs) i…
According to Caughley (1994), the need for human intervention in the wildlife at the population level has only four alternatives: increase a population that has been depleted, decrease a population that has expanded unduly, achieving the maximum sustainable yield of a population with economic value, or just keep an "eye" in populations that do not fit these categories. It is no coincidenc…

Biological invasions is one of the most serious threats to ecosystems, affecting biodiversity, ecosystem services and the economy. The Vassununga State Park and the Santa Maria Ecological Station, in São Paulo, are suffering serious impacts due to the massive presence of invasive exotic species, which threaten the native fauna and flora and degrade the environment. Management actions are …
Carbon uptake by primary biomass growth is a vital process for biodiversity regulation, which initiates the flow of carbon through food webs. This process is modulated by climatic and edaphic conditions and by plant traits, shaping the functional diversity. On the other hand, the characteristics of species interaction networks (i.e. herbivory, pollination and dispersion of fruits and seed…

Ecosystem functioning depends on many processes whose dominance over function varies across space and time. Carbon sequestration is a crucial function in tropical forests, contributing to global climate regulation. It is performed in great part by primary producers via production/maintenance of above-ground biomass (AGB), being modulated by physical and physiological characteristics known…
Cerrado is comprised by a group of different physiognomies, from grassland until forest vegetation types. Fire is a very important ecological factor affecting vegetation dynamics. Therefore, studies about the effects of fire on vegetation dynamics and diversity cannot be ignored. Although it is a very polemic issue, fire is still used to stimulate resprouting for cattle raising. Moreover,…
