Forest microclimates contrast strongly with the climate outside forests. To fully understand
and better predict how forests' biodiversity and functions relate to climate and climate …

A major global effort to enable cost‐effective natural regeneration is needed to achieve
ambitious forest and landscape restoration goals. Natural forest regeneration can potentially …

Tropical secondary forests sequester carbon up to 20 times faster than old-growth forests.
This rate does not capture spatial regrowth patterns due to environmental and disturbance …

Under suitable conditions, deforested land used for agricultural crops or pastures can revert
to forest through the assisted or unassisted process of natural regeneration. These naturally …

Seasonally dry tropical forests (SDTF) are located in regions with alternating wet and dry
seasons, with dry seasons that last several months or more. By the end of the 21st century …

Drought‐related tree mortality is now a widespread phenomenon predicted to increase in
magnitude with climate change. However, the patterns of which species and trees are most …

Fire plays a dominant role in deforestation, particularly in the tropics, but the relative extent
of transformations and influence of fire frequency on eventual forest loss remain unclear …

Large‐scale and long‐term restoration efforts are urgently needed to reverse historical
global trends of deforestation and forest degradation in the tropics. Restoration of forests …

Extensive forest restoration is a key strategy to meet nature-based sustainable development
goals and provide multiple social and environmental benefits. Yet achieving forest …

Predictions of the magnitude and timing of leaf phenology in Amazonian forests remain
highly controversial. Here, we use terrestrial LiDAR surveys every two weeks spanning wet …
