Impacts of fire on canopy structure and its resilience depend on successional stage in Amazonian secondary forests

open access: yesRemote 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 (

Linking leaf traits and litter flammability using a novel framework, tested with Brazilian Cerrado trees

open access: yesFunctional 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 ...
