“…However, existing trails were utilized whenever possible to minimize disruption caused by obstacles and to establish clear reference lines for estimating lateral distances. This approach aimed to provide a standardized methodology for conducting the survey and obtaining accurate measurement (Emlen, 1971) [8] .…”

Bird biodiversity encompasses the variety and abundance of bird species within a given geographic area. The diversity of bird species is influenced by various factors including habitat availability, climate, geographic feature and human activities. Conservation efforts focusing on bird biodiversity are crucial for maintaining ecosystem balance, preserving biodiversity and ensuring the long-term survival of avian population. This study aimed to document the seasonal variation of avian diversity in and around NLCIL, Neyveli, during the period from October 2022 to June 2023. A total of 107 bird species were recorded belonging to 18 orders and 45 families. The highest number of avian populations were observed during the summer season, specifically from April to June. Additionally, the study identified three Near Threatened species and five migratory birds in the study area. These findings highlight the ecological significance of the mining area.

“…Although planting seedlings is the most common active technique in forest restoration projects focusing on high tree density, several recent studies have highlighted the potential of nucleation techniques to increase structural, functional, and species diversity (Holl et al, 2020; Piaia et al, 2020; Rojas‐Botero et al, 2020). Nucleation has an integrated approach that considers different life forms (Bechara et al, 2016); has a lower cost (Bechara et al, 2021; Holl et al, 2020); can facilitate the recruitment of species through seed dispersal (Procknow et al, 2023); and thus may be appropriate to recover degraded areas such as bauxite mining areas (Barros et al, 2022; Onésimo et al, 2021). Complementing the standard planting of seedlings with nucleation techniques, such as topsoil transposition, direct seeding, and artificial perches, can improve the multifunctionality of the ecosystem, promote environmental heterogeneity, increase ecological niches, augment seed rain, and consequently generate contributions to the soil seed bank (Barrera‐Cataño et al, 2023; Rojas‐Botero et al, 2020).…”

The soil seed bank is one of the most important ecological indicators to evaluate and monitor the ecological restoration process of plant communities. We aimed to analyze the influence of two different ecological restoration techniques on the diversity and floristic composition of the soil seed bank and of standing vegetation, in two 4‐year‐old areas under forest restoration around bauxite mining, Southeast Brazil. A total of 30 soil samples were collected in each area (SPN—forest restoration by seedling planting in rows and nucleation techniques between planting rows and SP—forest restoration by seedling planting in rows). The samples were transported to a shade house and evaluated for 6 months, where germinated individuals were counted and identified weekly. A floristic census of shrub/tree species was conducted to assess the diversity of standing vegetation. The results indicated that the soil seed banks of the two areas are floristically similar (predominance of pioneer, herbaceous, and native origin species). The two restoration techniques did not differ in their effects on the species composition of the soil seed bank, mainly due to the restoration age. However, when analyzing the standing vegetation, 38 species were recorded in SPN, while only 20 species were in SP. This result demonstrates that nucleation techniques contributed to the increase in species diversity in SPN. We conclude that combining seedling planting in rows with nucleation techniques (topsoil transposition, direct seeding, and artificial perches) can enhance species diversity in standing vegetation, improve forest functionality, and consequently enhance the potential for forest restoration.

“…In such a way, the spatial scale would affect in a relevant way the rates of change of species among communities, because different spatial extensions would present rates of change in their environmental variables (Veech & Crist, 2007;Barton et al, 2013;Barros et al, 2022;Godoy et al, 2022a). Thus, it is necessary to observe which factors and to what spatial extent drive these changes in community structure in order to understand possible patterns of community distributions (Balvanera et al, 2002).…”

Aim Additive diversity partitioning has been used to explain the accumulation of diversity at different spatial scales with relative success. In lotic ecosystems, the spatial extent is extremely relevant in studies of diversity accumulation, because it encompasses environmental variation that causes changes in the observed communities. Despite of previous knowledge on the effect of extent on biological communities and diversity accumulation, little is known about the topic in aquatic insect communities in large rivers. In this context, we studied the effect of spatial extent and environmental variation on diversity components, alpha and beta, in Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera and Trichoptera (EPT) groups in Xingu River rapids. Methods The sampling was carried out in October 2015 in the dry period of the region, in nine rapids in the Xingu, Bacajá and Iriri rivers. At each collection site, five Surber samples were taken. We also recorded pH, dissolved oxygen, electrical conductivity, water temperature, and geographic coordinates. We used additive diversity partitioning to separate the diversity components α and β. For the spatial component, we generated the spatial filters using PCNM (Principal Coordinates of Neighbour Matrices) and partitioned the variance between space and environment using partial Redundancy Analysis (pRDA). Results We collected 12,249 individuals in 27 genera within 11 families in the EPT orders. The greatest accumulation of diversity was observed among rapids of the river, when the β diversity in this spatial extent was greater than the expected. The spatial structure was an indirect effect at this extent, since it is a relevant drive to environmental variables. Conclusions The results indicate that the effect of spatial extent on rapids is a contributing factor in the diversity components of aquatic insect communities in large river rapids. To the conservation and management of this environment is necessary cover as many rapids as possible, since the preservation of only a few rapids can mean a substantial loss of regional diversity.
