Published: April 2007

In this article, the authors present studies related to the concept of resilience as they emerged in Brazil. First, the article describes current definitions and some methodologic approaches developed and used by Brazilian researchers in their investigations. Then it focuses on studies conducted in different parts of the country, emphasizing the resilience process in children, youth, and families of different at-risk conditions. Finally, the article illustrates the applications of those findings on intervention, prevention, social policies, and clinical practice.

Fires are increasingly affecting tropical biomes, where landscape-fire interactions remain understudied. We investigate the fire-proneness-the likelihood of a land use or land cover (LULC) type burning more or less than expected based on availability-in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest (AF). This biodiversity hotspot is increasingly affected by fires due to human activities and climate change.

Dredging in estuarine systems significantly impacts phytoplankton communities, with suspended particulate matter (SPM) and dissolved aluminum (Al) serving as indicators of disturbance intensity. This study assessed the effects of dredging in the São Marcos Estuarine Complex (SMEC), Brazil, over three distinct events (2015, 2017, 2020), involving varying sediment volumes and climatic influences. Prolonged dredging operations and increased sediment volumes led to a pronounced 43.
