Tree species hyperdominance and rarity in the South American Cerrado
(Springer Nature, 3 May 2025)The South American Cerrado, the largest savanna of the Americas and the world's most tree-biodiverse, is critically endangered, with just 8% protected and more than half deforested. However, the extent of its tree diversity ... -
Post-fire changes in tree diversity, composition and carbon in seasonal forests in the Southern Amazonia
(Elsevier, 7 December 2024)Fire is a major driver of forest degradation and biodiversity loss in the Amazon. Although some studies have evaluated the impacts of fire on forest structure and diversity, uncertainties remain, particularly regarding how ... -
Intergenerational tabletop game design for exploring the climate emergency: insights from an undergraduate field course
(Routledge, 5 May 2025)While studies show the value of playing games for exploring complex geographical concepts, much less research considers the value of game construction. Here we present the rationale, methodology and pedagogical affordances ... -
Climate and hydrology control apparent rates of peat accumulation across Europe
(European Geosciences Union (EGU), 7 March 2024)Peat accumulates when there is a positive mass balance between plant productivity inputs and litter/peat decomposition losses. Here we examine apparent peat accumulation rates (aPAR) during the last two millennia from 28 ... -
Climate warming and deglaciation drive new peat formation in the Southern Alps, Aotearoa/New Zealand
(Wiley / American Geophysical Union, 17 February 2025)Nascent peatlands represent an emerging, nature-based carbon sink in the global climate system. A warming climate and changing precipitation regime could drive peat initiation beyond the current latitudinal and altitudinal ...
