Enforcing environmental law in the Amazon

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 7, Page 2281-2294, July 2026.
Abstract This article identifies the underlying obstacles to enforcement of laws against environmental crimes such as illegal logging, mining and ranching. With four departments (provinces) from Colombia as case studies, it assesses enforcement of the country's main environmental law, Law 2111, which is one of Latin America's strongest. The article has

MISS diversity from saline lakes of Brazilian Pantanal: Origin, potential of preservation and comparison with examples of the Ediacaran‐Cambrian shallow depositional settings

Sedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 4, Page 945-964, June 2026.
ABSTRACT One of the largest wetlands on Earth, the Brazilian Pantanal contains roughly 10 000 natural lakes, about 1000 of which are hypersaline. In these environmentally stressful settings, animal life struggles to survive, while cyanobacteria form extensive mats.

Spatiotemporal Fire Patterns and Post‐fire Forest Change in Peru (2000–2021)

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 9, Page 4368-4382, 30 May 2026.
ABSTRACT Fire is increasingly more frequent and severe in many tropical regions, leading to significant forest loss, diminished biodiversity, and reduced Nature's contributions to people (NCPs). In this study, we analyzed the spatiotemporal patterns of fire in Peru and its regions, focusing on: (1) burned area, (2) size, and (3) number of fires, using ...

Fault‐Mediated Groundwater‐Surface Water Mixing Amplifies Hydrochemical/Hydrological Dynamics in a Semi‐Arid Volcanic Lake Basin

Hydrological Processes, Volume 40, Issue 5, May 2026.
Isotopes data help to understand the GW‐SW connectivity, the recharge elevations, and evaporation in a volcanic lake basin. ABSTRACT Understanding groundwater (GW) to surface water (SW) connectivity (i.e., the exchange of water and solutes between aquifers and surface bodies) is increasingly important under changing climate conditions, where ...

Stemflow Dynamics in the Jamari National Forest (Brazilian Amazon): I. The Role of Tree Structure

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 3, May 2026.
A portion of rainfall that contacts tree canopies is drained down tree stems as stemflow. Stemflow is an underexamined component of rainfall partitioning in tropical forests. To investigate how tree canopy structural attributes influence stemflow in the Brazilian Amazon, we measured stemflow, rainfall, and dendrometric parameters of 56 trees in the ...
