What role does fire play in rewilding? @navarrosales.bsky.social reviews the current state of art and finds four distinct discourses: fire as an ecosystem process; fire as a socioecological risk; fire as a potential hazard; fire management put at risk by rewilding. doi.org/10.1016/j.pe...

Understanding the role of fire in the context of rewilding is critical for effective scaling up of nature recovery. In this new paper, @chloestrevens.bsky.social, @ioliverasmenor.bsky.social and I review and synthesise the literature to find four main discourses: doi.org/10.1016/j.pe...

Tropical forests are not all the same: they show many shades of geographical variation. Our new paper in Nature led by @jeaggu.bsky.social combines field and satellite data to make a first map the canopy functional traits of the world’s tropical forests: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Are tropical forests in the Americas changing as adaptation to ongoing climate change? Yes, they are! Are these changes enough to track their suitable climate? Not quite! Check out our paper in @science.org www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... to see more of what our network has been working on!

This week I resigned from being Special Editor for a journal whose Editor-in-Chief didn’t show respect to peer editors or authors. The point of posting this is not to disclose names, but to report some fairly common and wrong practices in the peer-review process.

Open Letter led by N. Pilon & G. Durigan, signed by 183 scientists that highlights the importance of tropical and subtropical grasslands and savannas. They matter for biodiversity protection, and the future of this planet relies on these ecosystems to the same extent it relies on forests.

No, the world has not breached the 1.5C global warming target. It’s a climate target - which means it’s an average that must be sustained over at least a decade. We currently sit at 1.2 C. Which is already very bad. The science is clear: every bit of warming matters, every action matters.

New paper out in @natureecoevo.bsky.social, led by Bruno Pinho, showing how human disruption is driving 'winner' and 'loser' #tree species shifts across tropical forests. ➡️ Fast-growing / small-seeded species dominating Brazilian forests were levels of deforestation and degradation are high.
