There is currently no financial mechanism that will pay for medium to long-term emissions reductions from REDD+ in the period between 2015 and 20201 (‘the interim period’), and do so at the scale needed to meet emissions reduction targets in tropical forest...

Severe droughts may alter the reproductive phenology of tropical tree species, but our understanding of these effects has been hampered by confounded variation in drought, light and other factors during natural drought events. We used a large-scale experimental reduction of throughfall in an easterncentral Amazon forest to study the phenological response to drought of an abundant subcanopy tree, Coussarea racemosa. We hypothesized that drought would alter the production and the timing of reproduction, as well as the number of viable fruits.
