Multifaceted Assessment of Amazonian Tree Diversity Reveals Pervasive Impacts of Human Modification
Global Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 11, November 2025.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.

Assessing spatial variability and efficacy of surrogate species at an ecosystem scale
Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 5, October 2025.Abstract Preserving biodiversity is a central goal of conservation, but, in practice, monitoring biodiversity often involves assessing population trends for one or a handful of species that are presumed proxies for biodiversity. Despite the popularity of surrogate species strategies, the links between biodiversity and surrogate species are rarely ...

Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 5, September 2025.We evaluated the flammability of leaves based on their shape and size. Rectangular and triangular shapes showed high flammability that did not vary with size, while circular shapes had minimal flammability, but it varied with size. These findings indicate that leaf shape and size impact flammability.

European Policy Analysis, Volume 11, Issue 3, Page 420-432, Summer 2025.ABSTRACT This article examines the fire and rescue services sector in Sweden in the period 1986–2021, and explains the timing of bureaucratic reforms using the Multiple Streams Framework (MSF). In this study, we insert institutions in MSF by employing a two‐level analysis; we highlight the interactions among experts acting as policy entrepreneurs over ...

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, Volume 11, Issue 4, Page 394-410, August 2025.We analyzed the effects of fire on secondary forests' vertical structure in different successional stages using lidar metrics. Our results show that independently of the successional stage, secondary forests that experienced fire were more degraded than unburned secondary forest areas. Overall, our results show that forests in early successional stage (

Integrative Conservation, Volume 4, Issue 2, Page 113-115, June 2025.The integration of innovative public policies, interinstitutional collaboration and better scientific understanding of fire dynamics has enabled the effective implementation of the IFM and a more efficient response to megafires in Brazil. ABSTRACT Despite the ongoing challenges posed by megafires in Brazil, significant progress has been made from such ...

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 5, Page 1247-1261, May 2025.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract In tree‐dominated ecosystems, the behaviour of surface fires is largely controlled by the structure of fine fuels. Because leaves make up most of the fine fuels, the traits of those leaves—their size, shape and leaf area for a given mass—help determine the impacts of ...

Long‐Term Fire and Vegetation Change at Cocha Cashu Biological Station, Peru
Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 3, May 2025.Cocha Cashu is a dynamic system that has experienced various forms of past ecological turnover. However, the dynamism seen at Cocha Cashu was not caused by intensive human activities in the past. ABSTRACT Past human influence from the pre‐Columbian and colonial periods may have played a role in shaping modern Amazonian vegetation.
