TITLE:

"Effects of land use changes on functional attributes and ecological strategies of plants in Neotropical forests: a metaanalysis"

KEY WORDS:

Land use change, neotropical forest, functional traits, ecological strategy.

PAGES: 28
BIG AREA: Ciências Biológicas
AREA: Botânica
SUMMARY:

The different changes in land use and forest cover have promoted significant losses of biodiversity, especially in tropical forests. The conversion of native forests for agricultural purposes, mining, timber extraction, among other uses have interrupted the continuity and functioning of the landscapes. Studying the functional attributes of plants helps to understand how they manage to acquire, invest and use their resources, facilitating the understanding of their functioning and spatial distribution through the new environmental conditions. The development of this work, based on a literature review, seeks to answer the following question: how do changes in land use and land cover affect the functional attributes of plants in the Neotropical region? To answer this question, an assessment will be made through a scientometric approach and meta-analysis of functional attributes of plants that were sampled in environments disturbed by different types of land use and land cover conversions for the Neotropical region. With this work, it is expected to find the main trends and gaps on the topic; find out if there is a change in the functional attributes of plants through changes in land use; and observe if there is a change in the ecological strategies of the species (from acquisitive to conservative), since the new environmental conditions, due to different uses, are more stressful.
