Temporal stability of vegetation across agricultural land uses enhances small non-volant mammal occurrence in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest (2025)

Highlights

Small mammal occupancy in agroecosystems is predicted equally well by land-cover classes or vegetation-index metrics.
Metrics of spatiotemporal variation in vegetation provided complementary insights into the effects of land-use dynamics.
Agroecosystems with more stable year-round vegetation characteristics can support more species.

Ecology

Testing the effectiveness of different ecological approaches for nature recovery to support biodiversity and the delivery of ecosystem services such as climate change mitigation and adaptation.

Remote Sensing

Working across pristine and human modified temperate and tropical forest ecosystems to understand and generate new knowledge about their functionality, health and resilience.
