CLIMAX ( Climate Services Through Knowledge Co-Production: A Euro-South American Initiative For Strengthening Societal Adaptation Response to Extreme Events ) was an international project funded by FAPESP-Belmont forum developed during the 2016–2021 period. Germany, France, Netherlands, Argentina/France and Brazil were partners who worked in common objectives tasks. The composed of four main Wo...

Species diversity is one of the most important indices used for evaluating the sustainability of forest communities. This study aims to characterize the forest communities and to identify and compare the plant species diversity in the study area. For this purpose, 152 relevés were sampled by a randomized-systematic method, using the Braun-Blanquet scale. Classification of the vegetation was con...

Environmental inquiries constitute an important activity in the cultural ecological analysis of the interrelationship of productive technology and the local environment at HesbAn ( LaBianca 1976 ) . Cumulative and systematic study of the flora at Hesbbn can ultimately reveal information about ( 1) the prevailing soil and climatic conditions; ( 2 ) the nature of the local botanical association a...

Statistical mechanics of relative species abundance (RSA) patterns in biological networks is presented. The theory is based on multispecies replicator dynamics equivalent to the LotkaVolterra equation, with diverse interspecies interactions. Various RSA patterns observed in nature are derived from a single parameter related to productivity or maturity of a community. The abundance distribution ...

This paper develops and applies a new method for the discovery of polyphonic patterns. The method supports the representation of abstract relations that are formed between notes that overlap in time without being simultaneous. Such relations are central to understanding species counterpoint. The method consists of an application of the vertical viewpoint technique, which relies on a vertical sl...

1 We present results from a long-term sowing experiment conducted in nutrient-poor savanna grassland in eastern Minnesota. We examine the effects of a one-time seed addition of 23 grassland species on plant community dynamics and structure over eight growing seasons. 2 Our goals were to: (i) test the importance of seed availability in regulating plant colonization dynamics and species richness;...
