In regard to the reduction of Amazonian deforestation and its associated emissions, the established target must urgently be fulfilled much before 2030, and further to this: the end of legal removal of native vegetation of the region must be sought. This newsletter lists the top ten reasons for putting an end to the destruction of the world’s largest rainforest.

Threshold Responses to Soil Moisture Deficit by Trees and Soil in Tropical Rain Forests: Insights from Field Experiments

Many tropical rain forest regions are at risk of increased future drought. The net effects of drought on forest ecosystem functioning will be substantial if important ecological thresholds are passed. However, understanding and predicting these effects is challenging using observational studies alone. Field-based rainfall exclusion (canopy throughfall exclusion; TFE) experiments can offer mechanistic insight into the response to extended or severe drought and can be used to help improve model-based simulations, which are currently inadequate.
