Beyond variance: simple random distributions are not a good proxy for intraspecific variability in systems with environmental structure

This paper shows that using random noise to represent unexplained intraspecific variability in ecological models can lead to inaccurate community dynamics simulations.

Spatial scenario of tropical deforestation and carbon emissions for the 21st century

The paper models tropical deforestation and carbon emissions for the 21st century under a business-as-usual scenario, predicting significant forest loss and increased carbon emissions.

Rethinking the nature of intraspecific variability and its consequences on species coexistence

The paper shows that high intraspecific variability in plant communities may be driven by environmental factors rather than random variation, and that this has implications for understanding species coexistence.

Long-term (1990-2019) monitoring of tropical moist forests dynamics

This study quantifies tropical moist forest loss and degradation from 1990-2019, finding 17% disappearance and 8.5% degradation, with warnings about future loss without intervention.

It's not just poverty: unregulated global market and bad governance explain unceasing deforestation in Western Madagascar

The paper analyzes deforestation in Western Madagascar, identifying unregulated markets and poor governance as key drivers, and suggests solutions to curb forest loss.

New formula and conversion factor to compute tree species basic wood density from a global wood technology database.

The paper derives a new formula and conversion factor to compute basic wood density from 12% moisture density using global wood technology data, showing previous factors overestimate values by 4-5%.

Combining global tree cover loss data with historical national forest-cover maps to look at six decades of deforestation and forest fragmentation in Madagascar
