How far can we go in simplifying biomonitoring assessments? An integrated analysis of taxonomic surrogacy, taxonomic sufficiency and numerical resolution in a megadiverse region (2012, background): “…RAP, for Rapid Assessment, and PELD, short for Long Term Ecological Research Program in Portuguese) with a system of trails and permanent plots in which a diverse range of taxa can be sampled (see Magnusson et al., 2005; Costa and Magnusson, 2010 for a detailed description of the sampling design).”
How much variation in tree mortality is predicted by soil and topography in Central Amazonia (2011, background): “These plots are long and narrow (250 40 m) and follow the topographic contours, thereby maintaining a constant elevation, minimizing variation in soil type and depth to the water table within the plot (Magnusson et al., 2005; Costa and Magnusson, 2010).”
Building capacity in biodiversity monitoring at the global scale (2017, background): “biodiversity data need to be coupled with the landscape context in which the freshwater habitats occur (Costa and Magnusson 2010; Magnusson 2014) and data availability for most regions is still poor, particularly in developing countries (Tonkin et al.”
