It is with great sadness that we share the loss of Luciana Pereira, a talented Geography PhD student at the University of Exeter, whose research focused on the effects of fire on Amazonian forests. Luciana, who was supervised by Prof. Ted Feldpausch, Dr Luiz Aragão and Dr Sidnei Sant’Anna, passed away following her struggle with […]
Fire is an important cause of disturbance in terrestrial ecosystems and can has a major impact on biodiversity. We evaluated the effect of fire regime on species richness and tree basal area in southern Amazon forest using Landsat and PALSAR data.
Fire is an important disturbance factor on the land surface, and effects carbon, nitrogen and water cycles, and it is therefore important to be able to represent this process in models.
We are seeking qualified and motivated candidates to pursue a PhD studying how lighting affects tree mortality, carbon dynamics, and forest composition in tropical forests.
We are seeking qualified and motivated candidates to pursue a PhD in forest degradation and ecosystem services in tropical montane forests.
