    Introduction By focusing on the specific functional traits of species, we can better understand how ecosystems function and respond to environmental change. However, field measurements of functional traits can be time‐consuming and costly, whereas remote sensing data can serve as viable alternatives for studying biodiversity at larger scales. Objectives We used unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)‐acquired multispectral images to quantify the composition and functional diversity in ecological restoration projects using a trait‐based approach in the Atlantic Forest, Brazil. Methods We analyzed relationships between functional composition and diversity parameters measured in 24 field plots (20 × 20 m) and vegetation indices determined based on UAV‐collected images (UAV‐VIs). Additionally, two weighting approaches for the field data were evaluated. We then fitted and validated regression models to estimate functional composition and diversity using selected UAV‐VIs. Results Spearman correlations between field and remote data ranged from −0.85 to 0.72. Functional diversity indices showed higher correlations when weighted by abundance, while Community Weighted Mean measurements showed higher correlations when weighted by the product of canopy area and height. Simple linear regression models achieved coefficients of determination ( R 2 ) of up to 0.69. Multiple linear regression models allowed better fits ( R 2 up to 0.81). Conclusions There are still challenges and opportunities associated with measuring plant biodiversity using multispectral images. These results may support the development of multispectral remote sensing approaches as a proxy for ecosystem functional diversity and composition.

    Journal of Ecology, 2026
    The seed rain, that is, the flux of seeds landing on a given location, is a fundamental ecological process driving community assembly and forest regeneration. Because seed rain studies usually focus on a particular site, the influence of landscape features—such as deforestation and fragmentation—on seed dispersal remains poorly understood at the broad scale. We investigated how patch size, forest cover, number of patches, precipitation and latitude influence seed rain parameters (proportion of zoochorous species, seed density, species richness and within‐site spatial turnover) spanning a latitudinal gradient from 7° S to 29° S in a highly fragmented global biodiversity hotspot: the Brazilian Atlantic Forest. This is the first study to synthesize seed rain patterns across such a large extent. We compiled a database from 1905 seed traps in 52 study patches. Over 1.3 million seeds were sampled and 1029 taxa were identified to at least the family level. Total precipitation and forest cover were the most important predictors for the proportion of zoochorous species. Seed density increased with the number of patches (fragmentation) for both zoochorous and non‐zoochorous species. Species richness and turnover were strongly predicted by forest cover; therefore, increasing with habitat amount, especially in sites with higher precipitation levels. Synthesis . Along with precipitation, forest cover emerges as a fundamental driver of alpha and beta diversity in the seed rain. This highlights the role of habitat amount at the landscape level over patch‐level features, like patch size, for seed dispersal. However, increased seed density can be related to higher dispersal rates in forest borders. Understanding these drivers of seed rain can help predict forest regeneration trajectories that shape the future configuration of fragmented landscapes.

  • How Does the Proximity to Roads Affect Vegetation Structure, Diversity, and Species Composition? A Global Meta-Analysis

    Applied Vegetation Science, 2026
    Aims Evaluating the effects of road proximity on vegetation structure, diversity, and species composition is essential for effective biodiversity conservation strategies and ecosystem management. Location Global meta‐analysis. Methods This global meta‐analysis considered factors such as the plant species' range (native or non‐native), their life forms, the type of biome, and the characteristics of the surrounding landscape. Results Our meta‐analysis included 21 studies, covering 10 countries and three biome regions (tropical, temperate, and Mediterranean). Our results showed that, compared to plots farther from the road, roadside plots exhibited a 46% increase in non‐native species, a reduction in vegetation structure metrics (i.e., mean diameter, abundance, cover), and a shift in species composition, often dominated by ruderal or acquisitive species. Roads in areas with high anthropogenic pressure (i.e., urbanized regions or areas with agricultural crops) had a more significant effect on diversity than in low‐pressure areas, whereas greater changes in species composition and vegetation structure occurred in low pressure areas. Conclusions We emphasize the need to expand studies on the relationship between roads and vegetation. More detailed information is crucial for promoting conservation strategies and aiding decision‐making regarding the implementation and monitoring of road networks.

    Summary Plant functional traits connect biodiversity to ecosystem processes, serving as key metrics for assessing how biota responds to environmental conditions. Functional seed traits are critical because they underpin recruitment and colonization, shaping biodiversity patterns and influencing ecosystem resilience. Yet, seed traits remain underrepresented in major data repositories, with severe gaps in the tropics. Climatic, geological, and historical differences between tropical and temperate regions drive distinct regeneration dynamics, suggesting that the paucity of tropical seed trait data limits our ability to predict regeneration niches and weakens global models largely based on temperate ecosystems. To address this gap, we introduce the Tropical Seed Trait Database (TSTD), an open‐access repository spanning the full ecological spectrum of tropical seeds. The TSTD is conceived as a community‐driven repository of primary data contributed directly by data owners, rather than as a secondary aggregation of global databases. It was built through contributions from ecologists working across all tropical regions, reached through direct contact, and its first version compiles 78 datasets, totaling 137 583 records across 44 functional traits. Covering 5115 species in 33 countries, with the Neotropics overrepresented, the TSTD marks a crucial step toward more inclusive, globally representative trait databases that can open multiple research avenues.

    Biotropica, 2025
    Global changes can impact ecosystem resilience, leading to abrupt and irreversible shifts in structure and function. In the face of increasing anthropogenic disturbances, understanding mechanisms that destabilize ecosystems and push them into alternative stable states is crucial. We conducted a systematic review of the application of concepts from dynamic systems theory—alternative stable states, tipping points, hysteresis, and alternative pathways—in tropical terrestrial ecosystem research. We identified 135 articles (71 observational, 59 theoretical/modeling, four experimental, one meta‐analysis) using these concepts, addressing ecosystem changes due to anthropogenic and natural disturbances. Most articles focused on conservation biology (46%), followed by climate change (31%), successional ecology (28%), ecological restoration (16%), physiology (15%), novel ecosystems (3%), and biological invasion (3%). Fire was the primary disturbance driving shifts into alternative stable states (54%). Disturbance roles varied across biomes. Numerous articles on tropical and subtropical broadleaf forests highlighted biodiversity and ecosystem service losses due to disturbances. Conversely, studies on tropical and subtropical grasslands, savannas, and shrublands emphasized fires and herbivory as key factors in the maintenance of the structure and composition of savannas. The high number of articles on these biomes underscores their importance. The review highlights that considering alternative stable states in the responses of ecosystems to global changes can enhance disturbance mitigation and ecological restoration, potentially averting future biodiversity and ecosystem service losses. Addressing ecosystem responses to global changes from this perspective can enable more effective disturbance mitigation and ecological restoration actions.
