Degradation, Classification, and Management of Soils From Alluvial‐Gold Mine Spoils in the Southeastern Peruvian Amazon
Artisanal and Small‐Scale Gold Mining (ASGM) carried out by individual miners or small enterprises with limited capital, significantly contribute to land degradation and loss of biodiversity‐rich forests in the Amazon. Due to limited information on the edaphic conditions crucial for restoring these degraded areas, a soil evaluation method was employed in representative locations of the Peruvian Amazon, including two native communities and one pro…
Análisis de la migración del río Ucayali y su influencia en los territorios de las comunidades del distrito Jenaro Herrera, Loreto, Perú
En el sector Supay-Sahua, del distrito Jenaro Herrera, la migración lateral del río Ucayali ha ido erosionando la ribera de la laguna Supay y durante la crecida de 2022 afectó bosques ribereños y cultivos. Por ello, esta investigación analiza la dinámica fluvial y migración anual de las curvas de meandros del río Ucayali, con imágenes de satélite del periodo 1985-2021, y plantea un escenario futuro, mediante análisis de regresión temporal con aná…
Long‐term interventions by conservation and development projects support successful recovery of tropical peatlands in Amazonia
Rural communities in Amazonia rely on harvesting Mauritia flexuosa fruit, a dominant peatland palm, for their subsistence and income. However, these palms are felled to harvest the fruits, which has led to reduced resource availability due to the pressure exerted by the increasing fruit demand. As a result, climbing has been proposed as a means to harvest the fruits sustainably. However, the long‐term ecological and socio‐economic impacts of clim…
A new data-driven map predicts substantial undocumented peatland areas in Amazonia
Tropical peatlands are among the most carbon-dense terrestrial ecosystems yet recorded. Collectively, they comprise a large but highly uncertain reservoir of the global carbon cycle, with wide-ranging estimates of their global area (441 025–1700 000 km 2 ) and below-ground carbon storage (105–288 Pg C). Substantial gaps remain in our understanding of peatland distribution in some key regions, including most of tropical South America. Here we comp…
Sustainable palm fruit harvesting as a pathway to conserve Amazon peatland forests
Soil recovery of alluvial gold mine spoils in the Peruvian Amazon using Stylosanthes guianensis , a promising cover crop
The Amazon is an important reservoir of biodiversity and carbon but it is under pressure by multiple threats such as artisanal and small‐scale gold mining (ASGM). In Peru ASGM has degraded 90,000 ha of old‐growth forest since the eighties, leaving vast areas as wastelands. As most ASGM in the region is illegal, efforts to recover degraded areas have been scant. Here we assessed the potential of Stylosanthes guianensis to recover soil health as a …
Detecting vulnerability of humid tropical forests to multiple stressors
Intensive field sampling increases the known extent of carbon-rich Amazonian peatland pole forests
Peatland pole forest is the most carbon-dense ecosystem in Amazonia, but its spatial distribution and species composition are poorly known. To address this knowledge gap, we quantified variation in the floristic composition, peat thickness, and the amount of carbon stored above and below ground of 102 forest plots and 53 transects in northern Peruvian Amazonia. This large dataset includes 571 ground reference points of peat thickness measurements…
