The visit proposal project titled "Strengthening Herbchronology in Natural Grasslands: Analysis of Small Woody Plant Growth under the Influence of Climate and Fire" aims to enhance herbchronology by analyzing the growth of small woody plants influenced by climatic variables and fire events. The visiting researcher, Dr. Lidio López, a Forest Engineer from the Instituto Argentino de Nivolog…
Secondary growth forests are forest formations established after the degradation of mature forest communities. In the Legal Amazon, about 23% of land use and land cover classes in deforested areas are secondary vegetation at different stages of regeneration. Although they occupy extensive areas of the Amazon rainforest and are considered potential phytophysiognomies for the conservation a…
This proposal seeks funding for reconstructing climate variability and change during the past millennium (850 C.E -1850 C.E) using speleothem and tree-ring records from the South American monsoon region. The last millennium is a key period for climate reconstruction, because it allows analyzing natural climate variability in the absence of human influence. It is also a time period that in…

As research progresses towards understanding the mechanisms behind the formation and dimensions of growth rings in tree wood, dendrochronology has significantly contributed to the understanding of factors that explain tree growth variation and the reconstruction of ecosystem histories. However, a similar tool for reconstructing the ecological history of grassland ecosystems is still relat…
The Atlantic Forest (AF) biome is considered a hotspot, presenting expressive biodiversity, endemism and being key to important ecosystem resources, such as environmental quality and carbon sequestration. However, the AF is currently highly threatened by urbanization and land conversion activities. Restoration strategies present themselves as potentials to convert these environmental prob…
The existing eucalyptus plantations and those foreseen in expansion programs include regions of the country with limit values of water and with a high risk of severe drought, constituting a factor crucial for the sustainability of plantations. The research project analyzes an experiment with treatments of 80% reduction of precipitation for 3 years and the evaluation of the responses of Eu…
The Amazon Rainforest naturally suffers from periods of drought, mainly when the El Niño phenomenon occurs. However, with the worsening climate change, influenced by anthropic activities, the intensity and frequency of droughts have increased, causing changes in forest ecosystems and their services. Trees are important biological indicators of climate change because they show significant …
Dendrochronology has been applied in the dating of trees of species occurring in neotropical forests, enabling the construction of growth rings chronology, reconstruction of growth in trunk diameter, and annual increments in volume, biomass and carbon of trunk wood. In the present work, these multi-proxies analyzes of growth rings will be applied to Cedrela fissilis (Meliaceae) trees that…

Worldwide, there is a growing effort in restoration ecology, especially in regions with significant biodiversity, such as the Atlantic Forest biome. However, there are still knowledge gaps in the development of indicators to evaluate long-term restoration success and ecosystem health. Tree-ring studies offer a promising approach to evaluating restoration success by providing annual insigh…
The species Cedrela fissilis, popularly known as cedro, is an angiosperm of the Miliaceae family widely distributed in Brazil, mainly in the seasonal forests of the Cerrado and Atlantic Forest. Considered a long-lived species, C. fissilis can register in its woody anatomy, through growth rings, important ecological and environmental information, such as, the temporal performance in relati…
Chemical elements are allocated and translocated during the growth process through cambium activity and ring formation as part of tree metabolism and physiology. This process is also regulated by genetic expression, tree age and environmental conditions. The evaluation of anatomical and chemical parameters of tree-rings are therefore currently considered a crucial source of data in tree f…
