Expansion of oil palm plantations across the humid tropics has precipitated massive loss of
tropical forest habitats and their associated speciose biotas. Oil palm plantation …

Climatic and edaphic conditions in the Amazon basin are ideal for the cultivation of the oil
palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.), this has led to a major expansion in plantations in recent …

We investigate tidal propagation and suspended-sediment dynamics in the Caeté river
estuary, Southeastern Amazonian Coastal Zone, addressing gaps in knowledge about …

Rock fragment fields are important habitat for biodiversity maintenance in coastal regions,
particularly when located in protected areas dominated by soft sediments. Researches in …

This study aims at providing high quality soil geochemical data at a regional scale (1 sample
per 25 km 2) to understand the source and distribution of potentially toxic elements (PTEs …
