Overlaying the maps with historical and current observations of forest fires and deforestation over the last two decades allowed the team to quantify the cumulative impacts on....2021-09-01T18:24+0200phys-4d0ac8207ad72df5677a7257bc82bdd920210901182400https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-02320-0To track effects on biodiversity, the authors undertook unprecedented analyses of the geographical ranges of 11,514 plant and 3,079 vertebrate species in the Amazon basin. Feng and colleagues also analysed satellite data of forest-cover changes, tracked forest degradation due to fire and identified....2021-09-01T18:10+0200nature-current-eaabb2fa339f05e90dd5f85b45010c1c20210901181000https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-02320-0To track effects on biodiversity, the authors undertook unprecedented analyses of the geographical ranges of 11,514 plant and 3,079 vertebrate species in the Amazon basin.

It is estimated that for every 10,000 km2 of forest that is burned, about 27–37 additional plant species....2021-09-01T17:23+0200natureasia-en-3be25972c81a36070f1494cd749a90a620210901172300
