Vegetation plays a major role in soil protection against erosion effects,and studies have also highlighted its importance in retaining sediments from roadside slopes.Yet,hydro-sedimentological studies under natural pr...
The use of medicinal plants as therapeutic and economic resources has been on the rise in recent years. In Brazil, however, increasing doubt is being cast on the quality of these products, owing to the prevalence of a...
The Caatinga biome is an important ecosystem in the semi-arid region of Brazil.It has significantly degraded due to human activities and is currently a region undergoing desertification.Thus,monitoring the variation i...
