Tropical forests in the Americas are changing too slowly to track climate change

Science, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 387(6738)

Опубликована: Март 6, 2025

Understanding the capacity of forests to adapt climate change is pivotal importance for conservation science, yet this still widely unknown. This knowledge gap particularly acute in high-biodiversity tropical forests. Here, we examined how Americas have shifted community trait composition recent decades as a response changes climate. Based on historical trait-climate relationships, found that, overall, studied functional traits show shifts less than 8% what would be expected given observed However, recruit assemblage shows 21% relative expectation. The most diverse Earth are changing but at rate that fundamentally insufficient track change.

Principles for area‐based biodiversity conservation

Ecology Letters, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 27(6)

Опубликована: Июнь 1, 2024

Recent international agreements have strengthened and expanded commitments to protect restore native habitats for biodiversity protection ("area-based conservation"). Nevertheless, conservation is hindered because how such should be implemented has been strongly debated, which can lead suboptimal habitat decisions. We argue that, despite the debates, there are three essential principles area-based conservation. These related geographic coverage, amount, connectivity. They emerge from evidence while large areas of nature important must protected, or restoration multiple small patches also critical global conservation, particularly in regions with high land use. contend that many initiatives expected coming decades follow we identify, regardless ongoing debates. Considering importance maintenance ecosystem services, suggest this would bring widespread societal benefits.

Synthesis of the land carbon fluxes of the Amazon region between 2010 and 2020

Abstract The Amazon is the largest continuous tropical forest in world and plays a key role global carbon cycle. Human-induced disturbances climate change have impacted balance. Here we conduct comprehensive synthesis of existing state-of-the-art estimates contemporary land fluxes using set bottom-up methods (i.e., dynamic vegetation models bookkeeping models) top-down inversion (atmospheric model) over Brazilian whole Biogeographical domain. Over biogeographical region methodologies suggest small average sink 2010-2020, contrast to source simulated by (2010-2018). However, these are not significantly different from one another when accounting for their large individual uncertainties, highlighting remaining knowledge gaps, urgent need reduce such uncertainties. Nevertheless, both agreed that has been net during recent extremes south-eastern was study period (2010-2020). Overall, our results point increasing human-induced (deforestation degradation wildfires) reduction old-growth drought.

Evolution of Amazonian biodiversity: A review

Acta Amazonica, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 54(spe1)

Опубликована: Янв. 1, 2024

ABSTRACT Amazonia (defined herein as the Amazon basin) is home to greatest concentration of biodiversity on Earth, providing unique genetic resources and ecological functions that contribute ecosystem services globally. The lengthy complex evolutionary history this region has produced heterogeneous landscapes riverscapes at multiple scales, altered geographic connections among populations, impacted rates adaptation, speciation, extinction. In turn, ecologically diverse Amazonian biotas promoted further diversification, species coexistence, coevolution, with accumulating over tens millions years. Important events in included: (i) late Cretaceous early Paleogene origin major rainforest plant animal groups; (ii) Eocene-Oligocene global cooling rainforests contracting tropical latitudes separating Atlantic coastal rainforests; (iii) Miocene uplift central northern Andes separated Pacific rainforests, spurred formation mega-wetlands western Amazon, contributed modern transcontinental River; (iv) Neogene Panamanian Isthmus facilitated Great American Biotic Interchange; (v) Pleistocene climate oscillations followed by Pleistocene-Holocene human colonization megafaunal extinctions; (vi) era widespread anthropogenic deforestation, defaunation, transformations regional climates. conservation requires decade-scale investments into documentation monitoring leverage existing scientific capacity, strategic habitat planning allow continuity processes now future.

Microplastics in the Amazon biome: State of the art and future priorities

Microplastics (MPs) have been identified as a major potential threat to the biota and human health. Despite exponential increase in MP research worldwide, few studies focused on extensive Amazon biome. To assess priorities, present study reviewed summarized available scientific knowledge MPs Amazon, addition analyzing population waste-management data, evaluate sources of hydrographic system.

Leveraging the capabilities of multinational firms to address climate change: a finance perspective

Journal of International Business Studies, Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Янв. 10, 2025

Abstract Climate change and the associated issue of curbing carbon emissions have risen on agenda policymakers worldwide. However, global coordination matters such as harmonized regulation has been subject to significant political frictions, large intergovernmental transfers needed finance transition developing economies proven hard raise. Recently, there considerable responses climate from private sector, with stakeholders placing more pressure firms, financial markets mobilizing increasingly capital towards reduction negative externalities. We argue that although multinational enterprises (MNEs) a major contributor problem, they can be an important part solution – unique features enable them play role in fight against change. MNEs extensive efficient internal for governance, financing, technology, which circumvent country-specific frictions action heterogeneous regulation, corruption, lack technology. analyze how different public incentive mechanisms could designed leverage MNEs’ features, realign their incentives, engage potential decarbonizing economy. Lastly, we discuss challenges, opportunities, future research.

The role of rivers in the origin and future of Amazonian biodiversity

Опубликована: Янв. 15, 2025

The rich biodiversity of Amazonia is shaped geographically and ecologically by its rivers their cycles seasonal flooding. Anthropogenic effects, such as deforestation, infrastructure development extreme climatic events, threaten the ecological processes sustaining Amazonian ecosystems. In this Review, we explore coupled evolution associated with terrestrial seasonally flooded environments, integrating geological, climatic, genetic evidence. fluvial environments are highly heterogeneous, drainage system historically dynamic continually evolving; a result, discharge, sediment load strength barriers to biotic dispersal has changed through time. Ecological affinities taxa, rearrangements variations in riverine landscape caused past climate changes have mediated high diversity found modern-day Amazonia. connected history region's provides fundamental information for mitigating current future impacts.
