INTRODUCTION Ecosystem services are ecological processes that create conditions and resources that sustain and benefit human populations (Burkhard et al., 2012; Díaz et al., 2018; Fu et al., 2013). Socioeconomic systems rely on these services, which furnish food, fibres, drinking water and clean air, all essential elements of human health and well-being (Burkhard et al., 2012; Fu et al., 2013; Häyhä & Franzese, 2014).

Abstract Chronic anthropogenic disturbances and climate change have been recognized as drivers of biological reorganization across human-modified tropical landscapes, also negatively affecting the reproductive output of some plant species. Here, we investigated to what extent these drivers affect the reproductive output of Cenostigma microphyllum, a disturbance-adapted tree species endemic to the Caatinga dry forest.
