Phenology, nectar dynamics and reproductive success of Inga vera (Leguminosae) in monospecific plantations and forest remnants in Atlantic forest: Dataset exploration.

ABSTRACT: Distinct approaches have been adopted for tropical forest restoration in the last decades. The long-term viability of these restored forests and their capacity to provide the required services demand continuous evaluation to guide future initiatives. In addition, the resilience and maintenance of plant and animals communities in restored forests in tropical regions are closely related to the recovery of animal-mediated interactions. We provide, in this article, raw data related to the reproductive ecology of Inga vera, one of the most common tree species used in forest restoration initiatives in the Brazilian northeastern Atlantic forest. Specifically, we explore data on phenology, nectar dynamics and reproductive success of I. vera in natural and planted (monospecific) populations. This data article is related to the research article "Pollination partial recovery across monospecific plantations of a native tree (Inga vera, Leguminosae) in the Atlantic forest: lessons for restoration" (Cruz-Neto et al., 2018) [1].

Project description:Land-use intensification is a central element in proposed strategies to address global food security. One rationale for accepting the negative consequences of land-use intensification for farmland biodiversity is that it could 'spare' further expansion of agriculture into remaining natural habitats. However, in many regions of the world the only natural habitats that can be spared are fragments within landscapes dominated by agriculture. Therefore, land-sparing arguments hinge on land-use intensification having low spillover effects into adjacent protected areas, otherwise net conservation gains will diminish with increasing intensification. We test, for the first time, whether the degree of spillover from farmland into adjacent natural habitats scales in magnitude with increasing land-use intensity. We identified a continuous land-use intensity gradient across pastoral farming systems in New Zealand (based on 13 components of farmer input and soil biogeochemistry variables), and measured cumulative off-site spillover effects of fertilisers and livestock on soil biogeochemistry in 21 adjacent forest remnants. Ten of 11 measured soil properties differed significantly between remnants and intact-forest reference sites, for both fenced and unfenced remnants, at both edge and interior. For seven variables, the magnitude of effects scaled significantly with magnitude of surrounding land-use intensity, through complex interactions with fencing and edge effects. In particular, total C, total N, δ15N, total P and heavy-metal contaminants of phosphate fertilizers (Cd and U) increased significantly within remnants in response to increasing land-use intensity, and these effects were exacerbated in unfenced relative to fenced remnants. This suggests movement of livestock into surrounding natural habitats is a significant component of agricultural spillover, but pervasive changes in soil biogeochemistry still occur through nutrient spillover channels alone, even in fenced remnants set aside for conservation. These results have important implications for the viability of land-sparing as a strategy for balancing landscape-level conservation and production goals in agricultural landscapes.
