Pleistocene megafaunal collapse, novel plant communities, and enhanced fire regimes in North America.
TL;DR: The data suggest that population collapse and functional extinction of the megafauna preceded their final extinction by several thousand years and closely preceded enhanced fire regimes and the development of plant communities that have no modern analogs.
The root of the problem: what's driving tropical deforestation today?
TL;DR: In this paper, the economic agents that play critical roles in deforestation in the tropic regions: soyabeans, beef cattle, palm oil, timber and pulp, wood for fuel, and small farmers.

TL;DR: Gurnell et al. as mentioned in this paper defined the natural wood regime in terms of the magnitude, frequency, rate, timing, duration, and mode of wood recruitment, transport, and storage in river corridors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carbon dynamics of river corridors and the effects of human alterations
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a conceptual model of carbon dynamics within a river corridor, which includes the active channel and the riparian zone, and showed that the morphology and processes of a river channel regulate the ability to store, transform, and transport organic carbon.
Journal ArticleDOI
Floodplain downed wood volumes: a comparison across three biomes
TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantified downed large wood (LW) volumes in relatively unaltered floodplains of semi-arid boreal lowland, subtropical lowland and semiarid temperate mountain rivers in the United States.
