What drives deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon? Evidence from satellite and socioeconomic data [PDF]
This paper analyzes the determinants of deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon. From a model of optimal use, it derives and then estimates a deforestation equation on county-level data for the period 1978 to 1988.

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.Abstract Large uncertainties exist for future westward Saharan dust transport with increasing Greenhouse Gas emissions. We evaluate future changes in westward dust transport at the longitude of 18.6°W and a latitude range of 4°N–30°N using the Weather Research and Forecasting Model (WRF) with the GOCART dust module for the present‐day, with ERA‐Interim

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.This study analyzed the growth and survival of 721 seedlings in Malaysian Borneo in relation to their local neighbourhood of surrounding matrix trees. We found that both were positively influenced by canopy openness and the basal area of surrounding trees, highlighting the importance of light availability and the benefits of areas with more unlogged ...

Groundwater Chemistry in the Amazon Rainforest
, 2017 Groundwater chemistry is highly variable and dependent on environmental conditions, and it is not entirely understood how all these factors contribute to groundwater chemistry. This study aims to examine some of the factors that contribute to groundwater heterogeneity in the Amazon Rainforest.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.The Harpy Eagle (Harpia harpyja), a top predator of Neotropical forests, faces severe threats across its range, including in the Atlantic Forest. Using 50 years of occurrence records, including nests and multiple age classes, we document the species' persistence in one of its last reproductive refuges while revealing ongoing human–wildlife conflicts ...

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 3, May‐June 2026.This study compares the efficacy of conventional surveys of vertebrate taxa to eDNA metabarcoding of freshwater samples from a tropical rainforest ecosystem in the Makira Forest Protected Area (MFPA), Madagascar. We demonstrate high but taxa‐varying efficacy of eDNA metabarcoding detections, reinforcing its use as a complementary biodiversity survey ...

Stemflows and Preferential Flows: A Historical Review and Challenges for the Future
Hydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 5, May 2026.Possible implementation of stemflow in the MIPS model where all water in the system is represented as particles in pathways of specified velocity. Stemflow (green particles) can be treated as a localised input with probabilities of entering higher velocity pathways than throughfall, depending on the input rates.
