Insights From a New 1‐ha Permanent Forest Plot Reveal Differences Between Habitat Type and Similarities Between Forest Type in the Southwestern Amazon

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2025.
Southwestern Amazon forests are highly diverse, but information on how tree diversity and composition changes between habitat and forest types remains scarce. We conducted floristic analyses to investigate these changes across a precipitation gradient, between habitat types, and between disturbed and old‐growth forest.

Long‐term interventions by conservation and development projects support successful recovery of tropical peatlands in Amazonia

People and Nature, Volume 7, Issue 4, Page 871-886, April 2025.
Abstract Rural communities in Amazonia rely on harvesting Mauritia flexuosa fruit, a dominant peatland palm, for their subsistence and income. However, these palms are felled to harvest the fruits, which has led to reduced resource availability due to the pressure exerted by the increasing fruit demand.

Mapping Peatland Distribution and Quantifying Peatland Below‐Ground Carbon Stocks in Colombia's Eastern Lowlands

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 130, Issue 4, April 2025.
Abstract The extent and distribution of tropical peatlands, and their importance as a vulnerable carbon (C) store, remain poorly quantified. Although large peatland complexes in Peru, the Congo basin, and Southeast Asia have been mapped in detail, information on many other tropical areas is uncertain.
