🔥Excited to introduce our #ERC #StG project ‘FiRes’, on past, present and future #fire #resilience of #Amazonian forests!🔥 In an era of increasing #fire occurrence globally, we cannot have enough research to understand its impact, especially in precious fire-‘unadapted’ ecosystems such as the Amazon

We quantify, map and analyse wood density across tropical South America. Our analysis led by Martin Sullivan refines the east-west Amazon gradient in wood density, improves it by revealing much finer variation, & extends predictions to Andean, Dry & Atlantic forests. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Tropical forests in the Americas are changing too slowly to track climate change
Understanding the capacity of forests to adapt to climate change is of pivotal importance for conservation science, yet this is still widely unknown. This knowledge gap is particularly acute in high-b...
