Pervasive gaps in Amazonian ecological research
Carvalho, Raquel L.; Resende, Angelica F.; Barlow, Jos; França, Filipe M.; Moura, Mario R.; Maciel, Rafaella; Alves-Martins, Fernanda; Shutt, JackBiodiversity loss is one of the main challenges of our time,1,2 and attempts to address it require a clear un derstanding of how ecological communities respond to environmental change across time and space.3,4 While the increasing availability of global databases on ecological communities has advanced our knowledge of biodiversity sensitivity to environmental changes,5–7 vast areas of the tropics remain underst...
Leaf-litter production in human-modified Amazonian forests following the El Niñ...
Oliveira de Morais, Tainá Madalena; Berenguer, Erika; Barlow, Jos; França, Filipe; Lennox, Gareth D.; Malhi, Yadvinder; Chesini Rossi, Liana [UNESP]Made available in DSpace on 2022-04-28T19:41:19Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2021-09-15; Leaf-litter production is an essential part of the carbon cycle of tropical forests. In the Amazon, it is influenced by climate, presenting high levels during the driest months of the year. However, it is less established how extreme climatic events may impact leaf-litter production in the long term. Ev...
Tracking the impacts of El Niño drought and fire in human-modified Amazonian fo...
Berenguer, Erika; Lennox, Gareth D.; Ferreira, Joice; Malhi, Yadvinder; Aragão, Luiz E.O.C.; Barreto, Julia Rodrigues; Del Bon Espírito-Santo, FernandoMade available in DSpace on 2022-04-28T19:42:03Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2021-07-27; With humanity facing an unprecedented climate crisis, the conservation of tropical forests has never been so important – their vast terrestrial carbon stocks can be turned into emissions by climatic and human disturbances. However, the duration of these effects is poorly understood, and it is unclear wh...
Comparing contemporary and lifetime rates of carbon accumulation from secondary...
Elias, Fernando; Ferreira, Joice; Resende, Angélica F.; Berenguer, Erika; França, Filipe; Smith, Charlotte C.; Schwartz, Gustavo; Nascimento, Rodrigo O.Made available in DSpace on 2022-04-28T19:50:14Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2022-03-15; Secondary forests (SFs) growing on previously cleared land could be a low-cost climate change mitigation strategy due to their potential to sequester CO2. However, given widespread changes in climate and land-use in the Amazon in the past 20 years, it is not clear whether current rates of carbon uptake ...
