Forest mortality caused by convective storms (windthrow) is a major disturbance in the
Amazon. However, the linkage between windthrows at the surface and convective storms in …

Convective storms with strong downdrafts create windthrows: snapped and uprooted trees
that locally alter the structure, composition, and carbon balance of forests. Comparing …

Windthrows (trees uprooted and broken by winds) are common across the Amazon. They
range in size from single trees to large gaps that lead to changes in forest dynamics …

Extreme rainfall events drive the amount and spatial distribution of rainfall in the Amazon
and are a key driver of forest dynamics across the basin. This study investigates how the 3 …

Amazonian forests function as biomass and biodiversity reservoirs, contributing to climate
change mitigation. While they continuously experience disturbance, the effect that …

Blowdown events are a major natural disturbance in the central Amazon Forest, but their
impact and subsequent vegetation recovery have been poorly understood. This study aimed …

We investigated the influence of seasonality and proximity to the forest canopy on nocturnal
turbulence regimes in the roughness sublayer of a Central Amazon forest. Since convective …

Windthrow (ie, trees broken and uprooted by wind) is a major natural disturbance in Amazon
forests. Images from medium-resolution optical satellites combined with extensive field data …

It is also necessary to enhance ecological security shelter in the Three Parallel Rivers
Region (TPRR) with the Nu-Salween, Lancang-Mekong and Jinsha Rivers which is the key …

Understanding what regulates ecosystem functional responses to disturbance is essential in
this era of global change. However, many pioneering and still influential disturbance‐related …
