Interannual variability in the global land carbon sink is strongly related to variations in tropical temperature and rainfall. This association suggests an important role for moisture-driven fluctuations in tropical vegetation productivity, but empirical evidence to quantify the responsible ecological processes is missing. Such evidence can be obtained from tree-ring data that quantify variability in a major ve...
O presente estudo avalia o papel dos índices de áreas verdes e sua contribuição para a sustentabilidade urbana e redução da desigualdade ambiental, tendo como estudo de caso o município de São Paulo que possui uso e ocupação do solo heterogêneo e complexo. A pesquisa realizada tem caráter exploratório com abordagem qualitativa, e como resultado, verificou-se que não há um consenso na literatura sobre um valor...
Isotopes in tropical trees rings can improve our understanding of tree responses to climate. We assessed how climate and growing conditions affect tree-ring oxygen and carbon isotopes (δ18OTR and δ13CTR) in four Amazon trees. We analysed within-ring isotope variation for two terra firme (non-flooded) and two floodplain trees growing at sites with varying seasonality. We find distinct intra-annual patterns of δ1...

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2016-03-01; The Brazilian cerrado, a hotspot of biodiversity, has suffered intense fragmentation in the last decades with an associated increase in areas subjected to edge effects. Plant phenology may be influenced by abiotic changes induced by edge effects, such as increases in temperature and light. We studied th...
