Balancing tracks and trees: Assessing railroad impact on Brazilian biodiversity

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The Brazilian West–East Integration Railway (FIOL) aims to boost the national economy by improving commodity transport; however, it crosses three of Brazil's most biodiverse and fragile regions: the Caatinga, Cerrado and Atlantic Forest. Using digitised plant records and land‐use analyses, our study reveals significant vegetation loss within the ...

An interdisciplinary review of the interplay of conflict, socio‐economic factors, and land cover and vegetation dynamics in Colombia

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Colombia's forests play a crucial role in preserving biodiversity and mitigating climate change, but they are currently facing severe degradation, particularly after the 2016 Peace Agreement. Our literature review highlights a growing research interest in this topic and demonstrates how interdisciplinary approaches combining diverse methods can enhance

FOREST FIRES

2017
This chapter explores how a “natural” process generates dynamically something that is conceptually similar to a percolation cluster by using the case of forest fires. It first provides an overview of the forest-fire model, which is essentially a probabilistic cellular automata, before discussing its numerical implementation using the Python code.

Forests on Fire

Science, 1999
Are the effects of fire good or bad for Earth9s ecosystems? The weight of the evidence is tilting toward the bad side, as explained by Goldammer in his Perspective. He describes the need for precise data to assess fire9s effects--such as that provided in two recent studies of the negative influence of fire in tropical rainforests (one,

Forest Fire

2018
This contribution is focused on “forest fire,” the term used in Europe to represent “an unwanted fire burning forests and wildlands” (Tedim et al. 2014) and thus referring to a European context of fires (e.g., regarding fuels) as opposed to the contributions on bushfires or wildfires.

Amazon Rain-Forest Fires

Science, 1985
Charcoal is common in the soils of mature rain forests within 75 kilometers of San Carlos de Rio Negro in the north central Amazon Basin. Carbon-14 dates of soil charcoal from this region indicate that numerous fires have occurred since the mid-Holocene epoch.
