Spatial correlation increase in single-sensor satellite data reveals loss of Amazon rainforest resilience [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 The Amazon rainforest (ARF) is threatened by deforestation and climate change, which could trigger a regime shift to a savanna-like state. Previous work suggesting declining resilience in recent decades was based only on local resilience indicators. Moreover, previous results are potentially biased by the employed multi-sensor and optical satellite ...
