In 2016 and 2017, the diversity and sources of water supporting immature development of mosquitoes in Talangaye Rainforest (South West Cameroon) before, during and after deforestation were investigated. Mosquito eggs, larvae and pupae were collected from 12 natural, seminatural, and artificial water...
Results show marked differences in the rainforest response to the transition from glacial to interglacial climates before and after human arrival at c. 43,000 years ago (ka). In the absence of human disturbance, Phyllocladus aspleniifolius-Nothofagus cunninghamii lowland rainforest taxa dominated ...
The massive wildfires are burning across the Amazon and scientists say the number of fires is up 84% this year compared to the year before. 5 years ago Inside the fires as Amazon burns ABC News’ Matt Gutman reports on the ground in Brazil. 5 years ago Amazon rainforest is burning at ...
Terrestrial responses were investigated using pollen analysis to document both the state of the rainforest before and after the arrival of the Europeans. Limnological responses were documented by examining changes in diatom communities in the core. Results show both the terrestrial vegetation and the ...
14. After the rainforest, we drove to La Posh, a small town on the Pacific coast in the Quileutte Indian Reservation. It was a small town with many rundown house; it was cold there. I was able to snap a few pictures before yet another heavy rainstorm arrived, it did not stop unti...

However, tree seedlings and saplings are abundant; their straight stems reach toward the light but receive too little energy to grow tall enough before food reserves from their seeds are exhausted. Their chance to grow into maturity comes only if overhanging vegetation is at least partially ...
extraction of minerals and energy. In recent decades there has been an important shift in deforestation trends. Today export-driven industries are driving a bigger share of deforestation than ever before, marking a shift from previous decades, when most tropical deforestation was the product of poor...
The result is a crowd-trained suite of AI models that can now monitor new areas autonomously and detect deforestation with better than 90% accuracy. And unlike the human eye, computer vision doesn’t always rely on the visible spectrum, meaning the model could be applied to near-infrared imag...
