Unraveling divergences
Gridded precipitation datasets are widely used to monitor hydroclimatic trends, yet their accuracy in tropical South America remains uncertain. Here, we systematically compare trends from state-of-the-art precipitation datasets with station data across the region. Our results reveal substantial disagreements in both the magnitude and direction of trends, with datasets frequently failing to capture observed station trends. Trend accuracy varies co…
Critical transitions in the Amazon forest system
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…
Rainfall and topographic position determine tree embolism resistance in Amazônia and Cerrado sites
Droughts are predicted to increase in both frequency and intensity by the end of the 21st century, but ecosystem response is not expected to be uniform across landscapes. Here we assess the importance of the hill-to-valley hydrologic gradient in shaping vegetation embolism resistance under different rainfall regimes using hydraulic functional traits. We demonstrate that rainfall and hydrology modulate together the embolism resistance of tree spec…
