Multifaceted Assessment of Amazonian Tree Diversity Reveals Pervasive Impacts of Human Modification. [PDF]

Glob Chang Biol
Amazonian forests impacted by humans have a reduced and different group of tree species than those forests that have never been impacted. The trees present in forests impacted by humans also have different evolutionary histories and functional characteristics.

From Sovereignty to Guardianship in Ecoregions

Journal of Applied Philosophy, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 608-623, August 2023., 2023
ABSTRACT Recent scientific studies suggest that the destabilisation of the earth's climate and biodiversity loss are not separate, but interdependent phenomena. In this context, some have proposed the creation of a ‘Global Safety Net’ of ecoregions that should be preserved to stop further biodiversity loss, preventing at the same time the growth of CO2

Integration of qualitative and quantitative methods for land‐use‐change modeling in a deforestation frontier

Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 6, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Development and implementation of effective protected area management to reduce deforestation depend in part on identifying factors contributing to forest loss and areas at risk of conversion, but standard land‐use‐change modeling may not fully capture contextual factors that are not easily quantified.

Effects of forest fragmentation on the weight of understory birds at the Biological Dynamics of Forest Fragments Project in Amazonia

Biotropica, Volume 54, Issue 4, Page 852-859, July 2022., 2022
Deforestation and habitat fragmentation are known as the chief drivers of biodiversity loss. Habitat fragmentation in the Brazilian Amazon was found to affect the weight of birds that remained in isolated areas. Our results provide a novel analysis into how avian body mass responds to habitat fragmentation.

Amazon Hydrology From Space: Scientific Advances and Future Challenges

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 59, Issue 4, December 2021., 2021
Abstract As the largest river basin on Earth, the Amazon is of major importance to the world's climate and water resources. Over the past decades, advances in satellite‐based remote sensing (RS) have brought our understanding of its terrestrial water cycle and the associated hydrological processes to a new era.

REDD+ and forest protection on indigenous lands in the Amazon

Review of European, Comparative &International Environmental Law, Volume 30, Issue 2, Page 207-219, July 2021., 2021
Abstract Reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD+) was introduced by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) as a mechanism to reverse the loss of forests and carbon stocks in developing countries. REDD+ operates on the basis of performance‐based payments.

Public participation, indigenous peoples’ land rights and major infrastructure projects in the Amazon: The case for a human rights assessment framework

Review of European, Comparative &International Environmental Law, Volume 30, Issue 2, Page 184-196, July 2021., 2021
Abstract The recognition of land title and demarcation of indigenous peoples’ ancestral lands and the guarantee of the rights of consultation and free, prior and informed consent in the context of large infrastructure projects represent some of the major challenges for indigenous peoples and communities in the Amazon States.
