This is the result of a chapters of Davi's thesis, developed at UEFS. In it, we present evidence of the influence of adult trees on tree recruitment, hence contributing to the formation of floristic mosaics in savannas. https://t.co/moaTSO3uFQ

#Wetlands are our most valuable ecosystem with critical services for #biodiversity, health, water security & climate adaptation.

But we are losing wetlands 3x faster than forests. We must accelerate actions for the conservation & #restoration of them.
