Introduction
Luizmar is currently undertaking a Ph.D. program in Natural Resources and Environmental Studies at UNBC. He is a Forest Engineer, graduated from the Federal Rural University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and an M.Sc. in Forestry at UNBC. Passionate about forest management and old-growth forest conservation, Luizmar’s research focuses on the ecology of old-growth and the role of forest management in old-growth conservation and the provision of multiple ecosystem services.

Full-text available
Almost all countries are making increasingly bold commitments to halt and reverse biodiversity loss, minimise the impacts of climate change, and transition to more sustainable development. The effective achievement of many of these commitments relies on integrated spatial planning frameworks that are adaptable to national circumstances, priorities...

Establishing Protected areas (PAs) could displace or cause ‘leakage’ of deforestation into adjacent areas. Such leakage would potentially offset PAs' conservation effort by jeopardizing forest conservation goals and impeding financial mechanisms such as Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation - REDD+. Here we investigate forest...
Article
Full-text available
Old-growth forests with complex structural attributes and large trees are rapidly transformed to more homogenous secondary forests through logging, reducing ecosystem services such as carbon storage, water provision and biodiversity. In British Columbia (BC), Canada, a century of logging resulted in strong pressures in the perceived dichotomy of co...

The Atlantic Rainforest biome, where fire events were originally less frequent, is now increasingly at risk of burning due to anthropogenic influences on the climate and landscape. Identifying fire patterns and their leading causes in tropical forests is essential to improve prevention and fire management. We applied a filtering algorithm to remove...

Forests in their later stages of development attain attributes that support biodiversity and provide a variety of ecological benefits (e.g. clean water and carbon storage). Despite their values, old-growth forests are declining worldwide in part due to anthropogenic pressures. A persistent challenge to managing and conserving old-growth forest has...
Article
Full-text available
Although there is a growing interest in utilizing nanocellulose fibres (NCFs) based composites for achieving a higher sustainability, mechanical performance of these composites is limited due to the poor compatibility between fibre reinforcement and polymer matrices. Here we developed a bio-nanocomposite with an enhanced fibre/resin interface using...
Conference Paper
Full-text available
This study's objective was to carry out the balance of emissions and sinks of Greenhouse Gases (GHG) at the Federal Rural University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRRJ), campus Seropédica. The base year of 2015 was considered to assess carbon removal by sinks (remaining forest fragments from the Atlantic Forest, planted pine and eucalyptus forests and pastur...
Article
This study outlines the influence of a series of reaction conditions on the yield and reactivity of the glycidyl etherification reaction of the bark extractive-based bio-epoxy monomer (E-epoxy). To maximize the yield and epoxy content, the glycidylation reaction was examined with various substrates, solvents, catalysts, time periods, reaction tempe...
