After clear-cutting, a second EC station with an identical set of instruments was installed inside the deforested area. In total, we examined an EC dataset including three years before (forest) and four years after partial deforestation (forest and deforested). Full time series and annual carbon...
Borneo deforestationSatellite images showing deforestation in Borneo from 2000 to 2018.(more) Deforestation has important global consequences. Forests sequester carbon in the form of wood and other biomass as the trees grow, taking up carbon dioxide from the atmosphere (see carbon cycle). When forest...

Tropical deforestation was found to cause large reductions in precipitation using a range of observation-based datasets1. However, the limitations of satellite-based space-for-time statistical analysis have hindered understanding of the roles of res

range over which the regressions were significant atP<0.001. No significant relationships were found for the observations above a MAP of 2400 mm yr−1. Vertical lines in panels a and b represent mean precipitation levels for each region before (solid) and after (dashed) the deforestation....
During these years, all of the large urban centers and governing systems of the Mediterranean, the Aegean, and most of Southwestern Asia, collapsed — leaving behind, after a period of turmoil and mass migration, the isolated village cultures of the Greek Dark Ages. This period of time saw ...
(1) evaluate the amount of deforestation from 2001 to 2020 in locations with mines (treatments) compared to locations without mines (controls) at various buffer intervals; and (2) compare the annual rates of deforestation before and after mine creation (i.e., across time) with distance from ...
open-access global forest change dataset. By analysing 39 PAs over three years before and after Colombia’s peace agreement with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), we found a dramatic and highly significant increase in the deforestation rate for the majority of these areas and ...
“What we normally see in these areas is the use of fire before or, mostly, after trees have been brought down, so deforestation is completed”, says Marcio Astrini, executive secretary of NGO Observatorio do Clima, to CNN. “A mass of forest lays on the floor, it dries up, and then...
