  • How wildfires increase sensitivity of Amazon forests to droughts

    Open AccessRenan Le Roux, Fabien Wagner et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2022

    The phenology of tropical forests is tightly related to climate conditions. In the Amazon, the seasonal greening of forests is conditioned by solar radiation and rainfall. Yet, increasing anthropogenic pressures (e.g. logging and wildfires), raise concerns about the impacts of forest degradation on the functioning of forest ecosystems, especially in a climate change context. In this study, we relied on remote sensing data to assess the contributi…

  • Aboveground forest biomass varies across continents, ecological zones and successional stages: Refined IPCC default values for tropical and subtropical forests

    Open AccessDanaë M A Rozendaal, Daniela Requena Suarez et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2021

    For monitoring and reporting forest carbon stocks and fluxes, many countries in the tropics and subtropics rely on default values of forest aboveground biomass (AGB) from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Inventories. Default IPCC forest AGB values originated from 2006, and are relatively crude estimates of average values per continent and ecological zone. The 2006 default values wer…

  • Can timber provision from Amazonian production forests be sustainable

    Open AccessCamille Piponiot, Edna Rödig et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2019

    Around 30 Mm 3 of sawlogs are extracted annually by selective logging of natural production forests in Amazonia, Earth’s most extensive tropical forest. Decisions concerning the management of these production forests will be of major importance for Amazonian forests’ fate. To date, no regional assessment of selective logging sustainability supports decision-making. Based on data from 3500 ha of forest inventory plots, our modelling results show t…

  • Optimal strategies for ecosystem services provision in Amazonian production forests

    Open AccessCamille Piponiot, Ervan Rutishauser et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2019

    Although tropical forests harbour most of the terrestrial carbon and biological diversity on Earth they continue to be deforested or degraded at high rates. In Amazonia, the largest tropical forest on Earth, a sixth of the remaining natural forests is formally dedicated to timber extraction through selective logging. Reconciling timber extraction with the provision of other ecosystem services (ES) remains a major challenge for forest managers and…

  • Carbon storage potential in degraded forests of Kalimantan, Indonesia

    Open AccessAntónio Ferraz, Sassan Saatchi et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2018

    The forests of Kalimantan are under severe pressure from extensive land use activities dominated by logging, palm oil plantations, and peatland fires. To implement the forest moratorium for mitigating greenhouse gas emissions, Indonesia's government requires information on the carbon stored in forests, including intact, degraded, secondary, and peat swamp forests. We developed a hybrid approach of producing a wall-to-wall map of the aboveground b…
