We study how fire, deforestation, drought, logging, and climate change shape tropical forests and savannas across Amazonia and Africa — from individual trees to entire biomes. Our research combines long-term forest plots, remote sensing, and ecosystem modelling to understand carbon stocks, nutrient cycling, and biodiversity resilience in the face of accelerating environmental change.
