Fire may prevent future Amazon forest recovery after large-scale deforestation
M. Drüke, B. Sakschewski, et al.
This research by Markus Drüke, Boris Sakschewski, Werner von Bloh, Maik Billing, Wolfgang Lucht, and Kirsten Thonicke explores the critical dynamics of fire in the Amazon forest's recovery post-deforestation, revealing that fire stifles regrowth in a staggering 56–82% of potential forest areas, potentially sealing the fate of these ecosystems as stable grasslands.
