Overview

Ricardo Ribeiro Rodrigues is affiliated with the Universidade de São Paulo in Brazil. Their research spans environmental science with a focus on agricultural and biological sciences. Within these fields, their work engages deeply with global and planetary change, nature and landscape conservation, ecology, evolution, behavior and systematics, soil science, and policy-related topics encompassing management, monitoring, and law.

They explore several interconnected topics including conservation, biodiversity, and resource management; ecology and vegetation dynamics studies; forest management and policy; land use and ecosystem services; forest ecology and management; economic and environmental valuation; and environmental conservation and management.

Their frequent publication venues reflect these themes and consist of:

  • Restoration Ecology
  • Forest Ecology and Management
  • SSRN Electronic Journal
  • Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)
  • Biological Conservation

Ricardo Ribeiro Rodrigues has collaborated extensively with several co-authors, including Pedro H. S. Brancalion, João Paulo Romanelli, Angélica Faria de Resende, Pedro Medrado Krainovic, and Danilo Roberti Alves de Almeida.

Notable recent publications include:

  • Functional traits and ecosystem services in ecological restoration, 2020, Restoration Ecology
  • Challenges and opportunities for large-scale reforestation in the Eastern Amazon using native species, 2020, Forest Ecology and Management
  • The effect of ecological restoration methods on carbon stocks in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, 2020, Forest Ecology and Management
