Functional differentiation between fish assemblages from forested and deforested streams
(2015-01-01)
We tested the hypothesis that streams in deforested areas shelter different fish communities to nearby forested areas, and that these disparities are due to environmental parameters that limit or benefit different species ...
Deforestation in the Kayabi Indigenous Territory: Simulating and Predicting Land Use and Land Cover Change in the Brazilian Amazon
(Instituto Panamericano de Geografía e Historia, 2017-06)
Is aridity restricting deforestation and land uses in the South American Dry Chaco?
(Taylor & Francis, 2016-07)
In this paper, we explored how aridity influences the regional deforestation and land-use patterns (i.e. crops/pastures) in South American Dry Chaco. To do this, we contrasted land use during last decade (2001–2012) with ...
Deforestation Induced Climate Change: Effects of Spatial Scale
(Public Library Science, 2016-04-21)
Deforestation is associated with increased atmospheric CO2 and alterations to the surface energy and mass balances that can lead to local and global climate changes. Previous modelling studies show that the global surface ...
Deforestation in Conservation Units of the Brazilian Amazon: the case of the Terra do Meio Mosaic

The role of soybean production as an underlying driver of deforestation in the South American Chaco
(Elsevier, 2017-07)
South America's tropical dry forests and savannas are under increasing pressure from agricultural expansion. Cattle ranching and soybean production both drive these forest losses, but their relative importance remains ...
Germination and initial growth of tree seedlings on deforested and natural forest soil at Dulhazara, Bangladesh
(Universidad de Costa Rica, 2012)
The role of soybean production as an underlying driver of deforestation in the South American Chaco
(2017-07)
South America’s tropical dry forests and savannas are under increasing pressure from agricultural expansion. Cattle ranching and soybean production both drive these forest losses, but their relative importance remains ...
Environmental predictors of forest change: An analysis of natural predisposition to deforestation in the tropical Andes region, Peru
(Elsevier Ltd, 2018-02)
The spatial patterns of deforestation are usually non-randomly distributed across the landscape. While anthropogenically driven processes are often addressed in land-use regulation policies and deforestation research, less ...
Biodiversity loss in deforestation frontiers: Linking occupancy modelling and physiological stress indicators to understand local extinctions
(Elsevier, 2019-08)
Tropical deforestation is a main driver of the global biodiversity crisis. Impact assessments typically focus on species' presence, which means impacts are detected when local extinctions have occurred – and thus when it ...
