Fragmentation of landscapes creates a transition zone in between natural habitats or
different kinds of land use. In forested and agricultural landscapes with transition zones …

Road networks are expanding in tropical countries, increasing human access to remote
forests that act as refuges for biodiversity and provide globally important ecosystem services …

African forests suffer from severe fragmentation that further causes forest degradation near
forest edges. The impact of fires used for slash-and-burn on forest edge effects remains …

Drought, fire, and windstorms can interact to degrade tropical forests and the ecosystem
services they provide, but how these forests recover after catastrophic disturbance events …

Deforestation has led to substantial loss of natural forests worldwide, resulting in forest
fragmentation, soil erosion, biodiversity loss, and carbon loss. In response to the …

Young secondary tropical forests occupy a larger area than mature forests nowadays but our
understanding of their ecohydrological functioning, particularly with respect to tree water …

The Amazon forest is integral to the global climate system in part because of the high rate of
rainfall recycling through tree transpiration and biodiversity (size and species composition) …

Aim Estimating the current spatial variation of biomass in the Amazon rain forest is a
challenge and remains a source of substantial uncertainty in the assessment of the global …

Spatial and temporal variation in wet canopy conditions following precipitation events can
influence processes such as transpiration and photosynthesis, which can be further …

Context The majority of ecological studies of roads have focused on their deleterious effects,
and these preconceptions have hampered a full evaluation of the ecological functions of …
