“…These colonising trees also produced numerous branches of high path lengths; high path lengths and path fraction may lead to lower hydraulic efficiency, as these umbrella-shaped trees have longer paths to transport water and nutrients for photosynthesis 7 . These architectural changes, alongside a large production of new leaves throughout the year 28 , may explain the increased growth rates of understory tree species in the forest edges of the BDFFP project in comparison to the same tree species growing in the understory of interior forests 47 , despite the hot temperatures and lower water availability in the forest edges 28 . These results indicate the ability of colonising trees in forest fragments to capture light and grow, which demonstrates the importance of protecting forest fragments for carbon cycling.…”

“…As mudanças microclimáticas nas bordas devido à fragmentação resultam em altas taxas de danos e mortalidade de espécies tolerantes à sombra . Sendo que, fragmentos com menor efeito de borda apresentam microclima favorável ao desenvolvimento e recrutamento dessas espécies não pioneiras (Albiero-Júnior et al, 2021;. Além do efeito de borda, o histórico de uso da terra pode aumentar a perda de biomassa (Coelho et al, 2022; por afetar as condições nutricionais dos solos, o tamanho da floresta, o seu formato e isolamento, impactando a presença de polinizadores e dispersores de sementes .…”

“…A riqueza de espécies, ou número total de espécies em uma região, é uma variável importante para embasar os planos de manejo e conservação florestal (Zipkin et al, 2009). Entretanto, os estudos de riqueza são geralmente para árvores da Amazônia (Albiero-Júnior et al, 2021; ou outras florestas tropicais como: no México (Aguirre-Jaimes et al, 2021; Toledo-Garibaldi and Williams-Linera, 2014), Costa Rica (Hofhansl et al, 2020) e Gana (Addo-Fordjour et al, 2021;, com pouca representação de estudos para a MA . Assim, estudar os fatores bióticos, abióticos e antrópicos influenciando a riqueza de espécies na MA contribuirá para planos de restauração mais eficazes.…”
