1) How have #past fire regimes shaped the Amazon? (Linking #traits with paleo #pollen and #charcoal)
2) How do #current fire regimes impact the Amazon? (Establishing fire experiments and plot networks in #Bolivia)
3) How will #future fire regimes impact the Amazon? (Improving models)

Stay tuned..🌳🔥

#Fires drove record-breaking tropical #forest loss last years, with steepest increase in Bolivia (see gfr.wri.org/latest-analy...). Coming 5 years, we will assess three main questions to understand #Amazon's #fire #resilience:

🔥Excited to introduce our #ERC #StG project ‘FiRes’, on past, present and future #fire #resilience of #Amazonian forests!🔥
In an era of increasing #fire occurrence globally, we cannot have enough research to understand its impact, especially in precious fire-‘unadapted’ ecosystems such as the Amazon

This what Israel has done to Gaza. Forbidden pics by a Washington Post photographer whose Jordanian air crew didn't pass on Israel's order to only photograph aid being dropped. City, suburbs, schools, people: bombed to rubble. People being starved in makeshift camps on road roundabouts. #Genocide

How do tropical #trees deal with droughts? The answer is published today in @science.org

Our pantropical #treering analysis revealed 2.5% growth reduction during #drought years. Yet, growth declined by >10% in 1/4 of 500 study sites, and in hotter & drier regions.

“Bolivia’s record-setting 2024 wildfire season makes clear that emergency responses to climate disasters are not enough and governments must address the root of the problem, a new report says.”

This 👇🏼 confirms the tragedy we’ve witnessed in the Bolivian Amazon, with 2024 as record fire year.🔥 And it’s the reason we’re studying Amazon’s fire resilience in Madidi, Pilón and Chiquitanía.

⚡Striking impacts on forests!⚡
Our perspective on how lightning impacts forest dynamics, through igniting fires in boreal forests and being a major cause of tree mortality in tropical forests.🔥🌳⚡ Led by Sander Veraverbeke @vuamsterdam.bsky.social @globalchangebio.bsky.social doi.org/10.1111/gcb....

Nee! Niet ‘Het Klokhuis’…!! 😭 Het was de bedoeling dat mijn kinderen daarmee zouden opgroeien..

Hello all, I've just arrived (and left X)! I'm a researcher interested in anything related to fire ecology, tropical forests, Amazon, paleo & neo ecology, forest succession & restoration. Looking forward to connect!
