Temas
Artigos longos e rigorosos sobre os sistemas que sustentam a vida — os ecossistemas e seus serviços, o clima que os molda e a biodiversidade que lhes dá resiliência.
Como a escrita sobre ecologia está organizada neste site.
Florestas, zonas húmidas, oceanos, solos — como a energia e a matéria se movem pelos sistemas vivos e o que as perturbações revelam.
Causas, retroações, atribuição e as incertezas relevantes para políticas na fronteira da ciência do clima.
Por que a contagem de espécies é a métrica errada, o que a diversidade genética e funcional realmente fazem, e onde a conservação está a funcionar.
Um artigo de fundo aprofundado por subtema — o ponto de entrada recomendado.
An ecosystem is not a place — it's a flux. Here's what that distinction unlocks for thinking about resilience, restoration, and what we actually conserve.
Climate change refers to the long-term shift in Earth's energy balance driven by changes in atmospheric composition. Here's the mechanism, the evidence behind it, and the questions that remain genuinely open.
Species richness is the easiest biodiversity metric to compute and the worst one to prioritize on. Functional and phylogenetic diversity are what predict ecosystem performance — and they often disagree with the species count.

The claim that ecosystems are robust because species are interchangeable is comforting and largely wrong. Foundation species are how ecosystems hide their fragility.
Why two farms with identical practices produce different yields — and what that tells us about the next generation of soil-health metrics.
An ecosystem is not a place — it's a flux. Here's what that distinction unlocks for thinking about resilience, restoration, and what we actually conserve.
A multi-decade synthesis suggests temperate forests may absorb 15–30% less carbon by 2050 than current models assume — driven by drought stress, pest expansion, and shifting growth seasons.
