Hidden destruction of older forests threatens Brazil's Atlantic Forest and challenges restoration programs

Marcos R. Rosa et al.

Summary: The study quantified the dynamics of native forest cover in Brazil's Atlantic Forest from 1990 to 2017, revealing a stable overall forest cover but with ongoing loss of older forests hidden by increased cover of younger forests. The changes have led to increased forest isolation in 36.4% of landscapes, while the clearance of older forests associated with the recut of younger forests has resulted in a progressive rejuvenation of native forest cover. The inclusion of native forest spatiotemporal dynamics in restoration programs is emphasized to better estimate both expected benefits and unexpected problems.
