Impact of deforestation on ecosystem functions of Ecuador's tropical dry forest under different protection status
57.6% of the dry forest in Arenillas and Zarumilla was lost between 1990 and 2020. • Soil and biomass carbon stocks decreased by more than 47% over 30 years. • Soil erosion increased by 112.5% due to agricultural and livestock expansion. • Water regulation and sediment retention declined in deforested areas. • Regulatory ecosystem services significantly decreased since 2000. The highly diverse equatorial dry forests are among the most threatened …
Generalization of a state-transition model to address degradation of Ecuador's tropical dry forest at a regional scale
Understanding how chronic disturbance leads to forest degradation across an entire ecosystem is necessary to avoid the loss of ecological integrity at scale. In poorly studied ecosystems, expert-based models can help conceptualize the primary drivers and consequences of degradation. Drawing on knowledge from local ecologists and land managers ("experts"), we assessed whether a local state-and-transition model (STM) could be generalized to support…
