Abstract Since 24 February 2022, Ukraine has experienced full-scale military aggression initiated by the Russian Federation. The war had a major negative impact on vegetation cover of war-affected regions. We explored interactions between pre-war forest management and impacts activities in three most forested Ukrainian areas interest (AOI), affected war. These were forests lying Kharkiv Luhansk cities (AOI ‘East’), along Dnipro River delta ‘Kherson’), those Chornobyl Exclusion Zone CEZ). used Sentinel satellite imagery to create damaged masks for year 2022. mapped with elevated fire hazard, which was defined as degree exposure fire-supporting land use (mostly an agricultural land, common source ignitions Ukraine). evaluated disturbance rate compared rates. documented significant increases non-stand replacing disturbances (low severity fires non-fire disturbances) all AOIs. Damaged varied among AOIs (24,180 ± 4,715 ha, or 9.3% 1.8% ‘East’ AOI; 7,293 1,925 15.7% 4.1% ‘Kherson’ 7,116 1,274 5.0% 0.9% CEZ AOI). Among AOI will likely have highest proportion area hazard coming decades, other regions (89% vs. 70% respectively). Future risks extensive war-related call develop strategies explicitly addressing these factors.

The restoration and reforestation of 12 million hectares forests by 2030 are amongst the leading mitigation strategies for reducing carbon emissions within Brazilian Nationally Determined Contribution targets assumed under Paris Agreement. Understanding dynamics forest cover, which steeply decreased between 1985 2018 throughout Brazil, is essential estimating global balance quantifying provision ecosystem services. To know long-term increment, extent, age secondary crucial; however, these variables yet poorly quantified. Here we developed a 30-m spatial resolution dataset annual Brazil over 1986-2018 period. Land-use land-cover maps from MapBiomas Project (Collection 4.1) were used as input data our algorithm, implemented in Google Earth Engine platform. This provides critical spatially explicit information supporting reduction, biodiversity, policies, enabling environmental science applications, territorial planning, subsidizing law enforcement.

The 2019 fire crisis in Amazonia dominated global news and triggered fundamental questions about the possible causes behind it. Here we performed an in-depth investigation of drivers active anomalies Brazilian Amazon biome. We assessed a 2003–2019 time-series fires, deforestation, water deficit evaluated potential occurrence 2019, at biome-scale, state level, local level. Our results revealed abnormally high monthly counts for states Acre, Amazonas, Roraima. These also differed from others by exhibiting this year extreme levels deforestation. Areas with significantly greater than average across biome had, on average, three times more fires previous years, six deforestation five years. Approximately one-third yearly 2003 to occurred up 1 km deforested areas same year, given were located 500 m year. findings provide critical information support strategic decisions prevention policies combat actions.

Ecosystem heterogeneity has been widely recognized as a key ecological indicator of several functions, diversity patterns and change, metapopulation dynamics, population connectivity or gene flow.In this paper, we present new R package-rasterdiv-to calculate indices based on remotely sensed data. We also provide an application at the landscape scale demonstrate its power in revealing potentially hidden patterns.The rasterdiv package allows calculating multiple indices, robustly rooted Information Theory, reproducible open-source algorithms.

Although recent large wildfires in California forests are well publicized media and scientific literature, their cumulative effects on forest structure implications for resilience remain poorly understood. In this study, we evaluated spatial patterns of burn severity 18 exceptionally fires compared impacts to the hundreds smaller that have burned across decades. We used a atlas over 1,800 predominantly conifer between 1985 2020 calculated landscape metrics evaluate spatiotemporal unburned refugia, low-moderate-severity, high-severity post-fire effects. Total annual area burned, mean fire size, total core at high all significantly increased study period. Exceptionally (i.e., top 1% by size) were responsible 58% 42% low-moderate severities, respectively, With larger patch sizes, our results suggest coarsen pattern California’s forests, reducing fine-scale heterogeneity which supports much biodiversity as wildfire climate resilience. Thus far, most modern management has focused restoring cover minimizing ecotype conversion large, patches. These fires, however, also provided extensive areas burns where managers could leverage wildfire’s initial “treatment” with follow-up fuel reduction treatments help restore finer-scale
