  • Critical transitions in the Amazon forest system

    Open AccessBernardo M Flores, Edwin Montoya et al.ARTICLENature2024

    The possibility that the Amazon forest system could soon reach a tipping point, inducing large-scale collapse, has raised global concern 1–3 . For 65 million years, Amazonian forests remained relatively resilient to climatic variability. Now, the region is increasingly exposed to unprecedented stress from warming temperatures, extreme droughts, deforestation and fires, even in central and remote parts of the system 1 . Long existing feedbacks bet…

  • The drivers and impacts of Amazon forest degradation

    Open AccessDavid M Lapola, Patricia Pinho et al.ARTICLEScience2023

    Approximately 2.5 × 10 6 square kilometers of the Amazon forest are currently degraded by fire, edge effects, timber extraction, and/or extreme drought, representing 38% of all remaining forests in the region. Carbon emissions from this degradation total up to 0.2 petagrams of carbon per year (Pg C year −1 ), which is equivalent to, if not greater than, the emissions from Amazon deforestation (0.06 to 0.21 Pg C year −1 ). Amazon forest degradatio…

  • Old-growth forest loss and secondary forest recovery across Amazonian countries

    Open AccessCharlotte C Smith, John R Healey et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2021

    There is growing recognition of the potential of large-scale forest restoration in the Amazon as a ‘nature-based solution’ to climate change. However, our knowledge of forest loss and recovery beyond Brazil is limited, and carbon emissions and accumulation have not been estimated for the whole biome. Combining a 33 year land cover dataset with estimates of above-ground biomass and carbon sequestration rates, we evaluate forest loss and recovery a…

  • Spatio-temporal variation in dry season determines the Amazonian fire calendar

    Open AccessNathália S Carvalho, Liana O Anderson et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2021

    Fire is one of the main anthropogenic drivers that threatens the Amazon. Despite the clear link between rainfall and fire, the spatial and temporal relationship between these variables is still poorly understood in the Amazon. Here, we stratified the Amazon basin according to the dry season onset/end and investigated its relationship with the spatio-temporal variation of fire. We used monthly time series of active fires from 2003 to 2019 to chara…

  • Estimating the multi-decadal carbon deficit of burned Amazonian forests

    Open AccessCamila V J Silva, Luiz Eduardo O C Aragão et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2020

    Wildfires in humid tropical forests have become more common in recent years, increasing the rates of tree mortality in forests that have not co-evolved with fire. Estimating carbon emissions from these wildfires is complex. Current approaches rely on estimates of committed emissions based on static emission factors through time and space, yet these emissions cannot be assigned to specific years, and thus are not comparable with other temporally-e…

  • St Century drought-related fires counteract the decline of Amazon deforestation carbon emissions

    Open AccessLuiz Eduardo O C Aragão, Liana O Anderson et al.ARTICLENature Communications2018

    Tropical carbon emissions are largely derived from direct forest clearing processes. Yet, emissions from drought-induced forest fires are, usually, not included in national-level carbon emission inventories. Here we examine Brazilian Amazon drought impacts on fire incidence and associated forest fire carbon emissions over the period 2003–2015. We show that despite a 76% decline in deforestation rates over the past 13 years, fire incidence increas…

  • A model proposal to determine a crowd-credit-scoring

    Open AccessAntonio Moreno, Antonio Moreno-Moreno et al.ARTICLEEconomics & Sociology2018Referencias: 1

    Crowdlending is gaining importance as a financial option and is democratizing access to capital markets. However, the key factors that drive investors to choose a given project requires further research. Some authors have identified certain isolated factors, but a holistic approach is needed. To fill this gap, we identified 10 success factors allowing us to build a crowdlending success model. The model leads to establishing the concept of crowd-c…

  • Anthropogenic disturbance in tropical forests can double biodiversity loss from deforestation
