Mapping pervasive selective logging in the south-west Brazilian Amazon 2000–2019
Environmental Research Letters, 2020 Tropical forests harbour the highest biodiversity on the planet and are essential to human livelihoods and the global economy. However continued loss and degradation of forested landscapes, coupled with a rapidly rising global population, is placing ...

Potential losses of animal-dispersed trees due to selective logging in Amazonian forest concessions
Trees, Forests and People, 2022 Fruits and seeds are key food resources for most Amazonian mammals and birds. Selective logging is an increasingly dominant land use in the region that can deplete these resources over large areas.

Fire compromises the recovery of a managed forest in Tapajós National Forest, Eastern Amazon, Brazil
Biodiversidade Brasileira, 2022 Harvested forests are more prone to wildfire, shifts in forest species composition, and biodiversity loss. In this work changes in the horizontal structure and species composition of a managed forest in the Tapajós National Forest, Eastern Amazon ...
