Forest Fire History in Amazonia Inferred From Intensive Soil Charcoal Sampling and Radiocarbon Dating

Ted R. Feldpausch et al.

Summary: This study evaluates the variation of fire in intact tropical forests with the aim of understanding its history and effects at different scales. The results show that the most recent fires occurred at a similar time in different forest sites, indicating that these forests can be considered old-growth. The number of fire events and fire return intervals varied among sites, suggesting different fire regimes in different regions.

Drought-driven wildfire impacts on structure and dynamics in a wet Central Amazonian forest

Aline Pontes-Lopes et al.

Summary: The study found that fire impacts are weaker in the wetter regions of the Amazon basin, with larger sizes and higher wood densities of trees potentially conferring a margin of fire resistance. However, this resistance may not be sufficient to withstand higher intensity fires arising from climate change.

Taking the pulse of Earth's tropical forests using networks of highly distributed plots

Cecilia Blundo et al.

Summary: Tropical forests are the most diverse and productive ecosystems on Earth, and a global community is working together to improve our understanding of them through diverse teams measuring forests tree-by-tree in thousands of long-term plots. Through this collaboration, significant scientific discoveries are being made, changing the landscape of tropical forest science.

Late-Holocene palaeoenvironmental reconstruction from a lake in the Amazon Rainforest-Tropical Savanna (Cerrado) boundary in Brazil using a multi-proxy approach

Kury Milena Souza et al.

Summary: The sediment record from Barro-Preto in the southern Brazilian Amazon border reveals responses to both local and regional climate dynamics during the Late-Holocene, with evidence of increasing lacustrine productivity and dry episodic events. The record suggests a rising humidity trend and a more southward displacement of the Intertropical Convergence Zone, indicating the transitional environment's influence on susceptibility to fires.

Sixteen hundred years of increasing tree cover prior to modern deforestation in Southern Amazon and Central Brazilian savannas

Jamie L. Wright et al.

Summary: This study analyzed long-term changes in forest and savanna distribution in central Brazil using soil organic carbon isotope ratios as proxies. It found a pattern of woody vegetation expansion into savannas and denser forests and savannas over the past approximately 1,600 years. Variations in vegetation change rates were attributed to local environmental factors, with instances of tree cover decline associated with dry savannas. The results suggest a regional increase in moisture and woody vegetation expansion prior to modern deforestation, providing insights for climate change mitigation efforts.
