Dead fine fuel moisture content (FM) is one of the most important determinants of fire behavior. Fire scientists have attempted to effectively estimate FM for nearly a century, but we are still lacking broad scale evaluations of the different approaches for prediction. Here we tackle this problem by taking advantage or a recently compiled global fire behavior database (BONFIRE) gathering 1603 records of 1h (i.e...

Este livro é uma viagem pela América do Sul sob a luz de uma espécie de ave que só foi descoberta em 2007 e formalmente descrita em 2012. Inicialmente a ave mais parecia um sabiá sujo, mas hoje é conhecida como pedreiro-do-espinhaço. Existem mais de dez mil espécies de aves no planeta. Qual seria a importância de mais uma nesse contexto de milhares? A descoberta do pedreiro-do-espinhaço suscitou um enigma bioge...
This study addresses the intergovernmental financial resources transfers and is guided by the following research problem: are the resource transfers between federated entities meeting their goal of equalizing regional disparities? This research aimed to investigate the inequality of distribuition of the constitutional financial resources to municipalities in Pará state, Brazil. The research is based on the theo...

The island of Santa Catarina lies in the Atlantic Forest Domain of southern Brazil, one of the most threatened ecosystems on the planet. It holds a wide variety of habitats, ranging from sand dune 'restingas' to mature rain forest. We report, for the first time, a survey of the bird species and their conservation status for the different habitats present on the island. We recorded 269 bird species of 54 familie...
It is presented a bird survey of a forest fragment at the upper Rio Doce valley carried out from April 2002 to November 2004. The region is within one of the most important Brazilian hot spot for biological conservation: the Atlantic Forest. The fragment is within 'Estação de Desenvolvimento Ambiental de Peti' (EPDA-Peti) under the premises of a hydroelectric power station run by the Minas Gerais Energetic Comp...
Islands can serve as model systems for understanding how biological invasions affect native species. Here we & examine the negative effects of mesopredator mammals on bird richness at Anchieta Island, an 826 ha offshore island in the coast of Brazil. Anchieta Island has the highest density of mammals of the entire Atlantic forest, especially nest predators such as marmosets and coatis, introduced more than 20 y...
Intensive agricultural production tends to stimulate the outflow of nutrients from the soil, requiring producers to properly manage the soil to avoid reducing fertility in the following crops. Thus, the objective was to estimate the annual monetary balance of nutrients in the soil of six Brazilian states that present the highest consumption of inorganic fertilizers in the years 2005 and 2015. The Annual Balance...
