Fire may prevent future Amazon forest recovery after large-scale deforestation
Communications Earth & Environment, 2023 The Amazon forest is regarded as a tipping element of the Earth system, susceptible to a regime change from tropical forest to savanna and grassland due to anthropogenic land use and climate change.

Higher absorbed solar radiation partly offset the negative effects of water stress on the photosynthesis of Amazon forests during the 2015 drought [PDF]
, 2018 Amazon forests play an important role in the global carbon cycle and Earth\u27s climate. The vulnerability of Amazon forests to drought remains highly controversial.

, 1991 Most of the Amazon Basin is covered with dense tropical rain forest comprised of many different species of trees and shrubs, often hundreds of different species per square kilometer. These are by far the world’s most extensive and rich virgin forests. The forests are often less dense and even patchy on the highland fringes of the basin.

Diazotrophs Show Signs of Restoration in Amazon Rain Forest Soils with Ecosystem Rehabilitation. [PDF]
, 2020 Biological nitrogen fixation can be an important source of nitrogen in tropical forests that serve as a major CO2 sink. Extensive deforestation of the Amazon is known to influence microbial communities and the biogeochemical cycles they mediate. However,

Amazon tree dominance across forest strata [PDF]
Nature Ecology & Evolution, 2021 The forests of Amazonia are among the most biodiverse plant communities on Earth. Given the immediate threats posed by climate and land-use change, an improved understanding of how this extraordinary biodiversity is spatially organized is urgently required to develop effective conservation strategies.

Forest regeneration pathways in contrasting deforestation patterns of Amazonia
Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2023 Secondary vegetation is increasingly recognized as a key element for biodiversity conservation and carbon stocks in human-modified landscapes. Contrasting deforestation patterns should lead to distinct patterns of forest regeneration, but this ...
