Assessment of vegetation recomposition methods in a tropical forest using satellite images

Diversity and community structure of Drosophila (Hexapoda, Diptera) in post‐mining sites under different forest restoration techniques in the Brazilian Amazon

“…After these procedures, there were no more interventions in the area and no chemical or biological treatment was applied (da Cruz et al 2020). Forest regeneration occurs from the seed bank present in the topsoil and by successional events from the dispersal of propagules (de Araujo et al 2021). Nucleation of the study area was made forming “topsoil” nuclei of residues and antlers (leaves, branches, stumps, etc.)…”

“…This technique started in 2013 on 9.16 ha and was later extended in 2014, 2015, and 2016, up to a total of 81.63 ha (da Cruz et al 2020). This regeneration method aimed to provide a favorable microenvironment for the recolonization of the environment by a greater number of species, accelerating the process of forest regeneration (Corbin & Holl 2012; de Araujo et al 2021).…”

“…The original vegetation is characterized by dense rainforest, with a predominance of soil classified as Latosol (Martins et al 2018; de Araujo et al 2021). The plant species commonly found in the forest remnants of the study area are mostly represented by the families Fabaceae, Lecythidaceae, and Sapotaceae (Martins et al 2018; Cerqueira et al 2021).…”

“…The plant species commonly found in the forest remnants of the study area are mostly represented by the families Fabaceae, Lecythidaceae, and Sapotaceae (Martins et al 2018; Cerqueira et al 2021). In these forest remnants, a large part of the vegetation is altered due to fire or selective logging, that is, they have some degree of degradation (de Araujo et al 2021). The landscape on Hydro's property until 2007, when mining activities began, was characterized by a mix of forest remnants, areas of secondary vegetation, and pastures.…”
