Deforestation effects on Amazon forest resilience
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Geophysical Research Letters"
DOI: 10.1002/2017gl072955
Abstract: Through vegetation-atmosphere feedbacks, rainfall reductions as a result of Amazon deforestation could reduce the resilience on the remaining forest to perturbations and potentially lead to large-scale Amazon forest loss. We track observation-based water fluxes from… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.1824
Abstract: Generalized linear models are often used to identify covariates of landscape processes and to model land-use change. Generalized linear models however, overlook the spatial component of land-use data, and its effects on statistical inference. Spatial… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/joc.4886
Abstract: During the last decades, several climate-modelling studies have forecasted a decrease in precipitation in Southern Amazonia, projecting scenarios of a drier Amazon for the future in relation with deforestation (or forest cover). In this area,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10531-019-01739-2
Abstract: Deforestation is a major driver of biodiversity loss in the Tropical region, but the role of upstream refugia and dispersal ability on the community response to this disturbance is unknown. We assessed the relevance of… read more here.

Deforestation in protect areas in the Amazon: a threat to biodiversity
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Biodiversity and Conservation"
DOI: 10.1007/s10531-019-01867-9
Abstract: The creation of protected areas (Protected Areas—CA and Indigenous Lands—IL) is one of the effective strategies to contain deforestation, and landscape fragmentation and conserve biodiversity. However, several such areas in the Amazon suffer from anthropogenic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11676-017-0449-9
Abstract: Deforestation issues are more problematic when indigenous (adat) communities, living within a forest, have lived there for many generations. These adat communities, who employ traditional land-use, are frequently accused of encroaching on the forest. To… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s13364-024-00740-7
Abstract: Deforestation remains the most pervasive driver of biodiversity erosion across tropical forests. Understanding how species can cope with such habitat changes is particularly important along the rapidly expanding agricultural frontiers. To do so, we used… read more here.
