eucalypt plantations

Changes in taxonomic and functional diversity of plants in a chronosequence of Eucalyptus grandis plantations

The aim of the study was to analyze environmental changes after the Eucalyptus plantation in an area originally covered by natural grasslands, taking into account the changes of alpha and beta (taxonomic and functional) diversity of plant communities.

Diferent land‑use types equally impoverish but diferentially preserve grassland species and functional traits of spider assemblages

We compared the taxonomic and functional alpha and beta diversity of spider assemblages between soybean crops, eucalypt plantations, and cattle felds with seminatural grasslands.
