WP4 – Scenario co-development for dieback risk mitigation

Establishing the Safe Operating Space (SOS) for Amazonia and its subregions to examine how it varies across different climate change and disturbance scenarios. The SOS initiative will collaboratively develop new land-use pathways aimed at minimising dieback risk and preserving forest ecosystem services. The outcomes intend to be: (i) regionally specific, and/or (ii) impactful at national […]

WP3 – Integrating of empirical understanding, remote-sensing and modelling

The intent is to integrate model data to create new forest demography models and validate them at the basin scale. Our objective is to enhance understanding of the risks linked to climate-forest thresholds amid land-use and climate change. By analysing data from work packages WPs 1-3, we will establish high-risk regions and identify which areas, […]

WP2 – Scaling across the basin using remote sensing, plots & traits

Introducing innovative methods to identify climate stress and tree mortality across the basin with providing a clearer understanding of the current risks to forest functionality. In collaboration with WP1, we will lay the groundwork for a near-real-time (NRT) system to detect climate risks on a basin-wide scale.

WP1 – Amazon Forest Sensitivity, Response thresholds and Recovery, trees-to-plots

Providing new insights into how different forest types, both intact and human-modified (IF and HMF), respond to climate stressors like drought and temperature. We explore key factors such as mortality, flammability thresholds, and recovery patterns. Additionally, our work will quantify how forests resist and recover, improving understanding of growth and demographic changes. The findings will […]
