Logging alters tropical forest structure, while conversion to agriculture reduces biodiversity and functioning

C. J. Marsh, E. C. Turner, B. W. Blonder, B. Bongalov, S. Both, R. S. Cruz, D. M. O. Elias, D. Hemprich-Bennett, P. Jotan, V. Kemp, U. H. Kritzler, S. Milne, D. T. Milodowski, S. L. Mitchell, M. Montoya Pillco, , A. Hector

The paper analyzes the impacts of logging and conversion to oil palm on tropical forest structure, biodiversity, and functioning in Borneo, finding that logging affects structure more than biodiversity, while conversion has greater impacts on biodiversity and functioning.

Why can we detect lianas from space?

M. D. Visser, M. Detto, F. Meunier, J. Wu, B. Bongalov, D. Coomes, M. H. Nunes, J. A. Guzman Q., A. Sanchez-Azofeifa, J. Foster, E. Broadbent, H. Verbeeck, D. Marvin, C. J. Chandler, G. M. F. van der Heijden, , S. W. Pacala

The paper identifies a consistent spectral signature of lianas across scales, showing their detectability from space but highlighting challenges in accurate remote sensing due to trait overlap with other species.
