‘Bleeding’ Brazil nut trees
Bertholletia excelsa , commonly known as the Brazil nut tree, is an emblematic species for Amazon forest conservation and a key source of income for many extractivist families. Indigenous Peoples and traditional communities have interacted with this species for millennia, developing local management practices aimed at maintaining or increasing fruit production. Among these practices is “bleeding,” which involves making incisions in the trunk to s…
Disentangling the deforestation-environmental crime nexus in Latin America
Deforestation and natural resource extraction are well-known threats to biodiversity conservation, environmental justice, livelihoods, ecosystem services and can even result in crimes to, and harassment of, environmental defenders. Such punitive actions against environmental defenders can influence both economic development and forest conservation efforts. Yet, little is known about this nexus and the complex relationships between environmental i…
Impact of model choice in predicting urban forest storm damage when data is uncertain
Research that illuminates causes of urban forest storm damage is valuable for planning and management. However, logistical and safety concerns often delay post-storm surveys in urban areas; thus, surveys may include observations with unverified sources of damage. While this uncertainty is often ignored, it can make up a high proportion of the number of damaged trees. The goal of this research was to improve understanding of techniques for modelin…
Aboveground biomass allometric models for large trees in southwestern Amazonia
Most of the basal area in Amazon forest is in large trees, many of which are species of interest for forest management. In forest management these trees are divided into the commercial bole that is harvested for wood production and the stump and crown that are left in the forest where they decompose and emit CO2 over a period of years. Part of the commercial bole is converted to wood products that store carbon according to their durability. The q…
Trees and Crime in Bogota, Colombia
The evolving role of Bertholletia excelsa in Amazonia
In the last three decades, Brazil nut ( Bertholletia excelsa ) has emerged as a cornerstone species for Amazonia. This has gone hand-in-hand with the creation of extractive reserves, an alternative land use model to balance biodiversity conservation with rural development, whereby traditional forest residents are assigned legal responsibility for co-management of these reserves and their resources, including Brazil nut. The essential role of this…
Climate Change in Remote Mountain Regions
The Himalayas are predicted to experience more than 3 times the mean global rise in temperature, as well as erratic rainfall patterns and an increased likelihood of total monsoon failures. While many ecosystem manipulation experiments aiming at understanding the effects of altered precipitation, temperature, and carbon dioxide are conducted globally, such experiments are rare in Asia, particularly in the Himalayas. To fill this gap, we simulated …
