2022.01.01 Relationship Between Growth Trajectories and Functional Traits for Woody Trees in a Secondary Tropical Forest
Frontiers in Forests and Global Change
Our findings supports the idea that traits describing plant size and tree shape, such as maximum height, canopy volume and height to diameter ratio, were generally the best predictors of species growth parameters throughout ontogeny, even though traits representing resource-use and reproductive strategies also played a significant role.

2021.01.14 The Atlantic Forest: An Introduction to the Megadiverse Forest of South America
[Book chapter] The Atlantic Forest: History, biodiversity, threats and opportunities of the mega-diverse Forest,
In this book chapter, we introduce the Atlantic Forest hotspos, focusing on describing the evolution of knowledge, the geographical limits, and the current proposals of sectorization in ecological units.

2020.07.01 Climate change shifts the distribution of vegetation types in South Brazilian hotspots
Regional Environmental Change
We integrated ecological niche modeling with paleoecological data to elucidate the potential impacts of past and future climate change on the distribution of multiple vegetation types occurring in southern Brazil.
