v. 2 n. 1 (2026): Biodiversity, Climate, and Socio-Environmental Dynamics in Tropical Systems

This volume brings together interdisciplinary studies that examine biodiversity, environmental dynamics, and socio-environmental challenges in tropical and urban contexts, with particular emphasis on Brazil and the Amazon region. The articles explore the interface between biological diversity, ecosystem services, climate-related pressures, and public policies, highlighting how scientific knowledge contributes to environmental management, conservation strategies, and social well-being. The volume addresses fundamental themes such as taxonomic diversity and knowledge gaps in tropical flora, conservation status and threat levels of arboreal species, methodological advances in biomass and carbon estimation in urban forests, and the impacts of environmental conditions on human health and labor conditions in urban settings. By integrating approaches from taxonomy, ecology, geotechnology, urban climatology, and socio-environmental analysis, the contributions reflect the complexity of contemporary environmental problems and the need for cross-disciplinary perspectives. Collectively, the articles emphasize the importance of reliable scientific data, methodological rigor, and critical interpretation for informing conservation planning, climate change mitigation, urban sustainability, and public policy. This volume aims to strengthen dialogue between environmental sciences and society, offering evidence-based insights relevant to researchers, practitioners, and decision-makers engaged in sustainable development in tropical regions.
