TL;DR: A biomass recovery map of Latin America is presented, which illustrates geographical and climatic variation in carbon sequestration potential during forest regrowth and will support policies to minimize forest loss in areas where biomass resilience is naturally low and promote forest regeneration and restoration in humid tropical lowland areas with high biomass resilience.
Journal ArticleDOI
Functional extinction of birds drives rapid evolutionary changes in seed size
Mauro Galetti,Roger Guevara,Marina Corrêa Côrtes,Rodrigo Ferreira Fadini,Sandro Von Matter,Abraão de Barros Leite,Fabio Labecca,Thiago Ribeiro,Carolina da Silva Carvalho,Rosane G. Collevatti,Mathias M. Pires,Paulo R. Guimarães,Pedro H. S. Brancalion,Milton Cezar Ribeiro,Pedro Jordano +14 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the functional extinction of large-gape seed dispersers in the Brazilian Atlantic forest is associated with the consistent reduction of the seed size of a keystone palm species.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This study estimates the age and spatial extent of lowland second-growth forests in the Latin American tropics and model their potential aboveground carbon accumulation over four decades to guide national-level forest-based carbon mitigation plans.
Journal ArticleDOI
When is a forest a forest? Forest concepts and definitions in the era of forest and landscape restoration
Robin L. Chazdon,Pedro H. S. Brancalion,Lars Laestadius,Aoife Bennett-Curry,Aoife Bennett-Curry,Kathleen Buckingham,Chetan Kumar,Julian Moll-Rocek,Ima Célia Guimarães Vieira,Sarah J. Wilson +9 more
TL;DR: A historical overview of forest concepts and definitions is presented, linking these changes with distinct perspectives and management objectives to illustrate how different management objectives drive the relative importance of different aspects of forest state, dynamics, and landscape context.

TL;DR: It is found that restoring 15% of converted lands in priority areas could avoid 60% of expected extinctions while sequestering 299 gigatonnes of CO 2 —30% of the total CO 2 increase in the atmosphere since the Industrial Revolution.
