Sugarcane ( Saccharum officinarum L.) is a strategic crop for the energy sector, but its intensive cultivation requires sustainable management practices. Plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) such as Azospirillum brasilense and Nitrospirillum amazonense are known for their ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen and stimulate growth in grasses. This study evaluated the effects of inoculation with A. brasilense ( Ab ) and N. amazo...

The restoration of biodiversity and functional tropical forests is critical to mitigating global biodiversity losses. Aboveground, increasing the connectivity of regenerating forest fragments facilitates the recolonization of tropical forest biodiversity. However, restoring functional ecosystems also requires the recovery of decomposition processes as these are essential in shaping aboveground biodiversity. Therefore, we inves...
