Improved monitoring of the spatio-temporal diversity of mangrove trees and distribution patterns
07/11/2023
Spatio-temporal information on species assemblages in natural, disturbed and rehabilitated mangroves is an essential prerequisite for effective biodiversity conservation and management strategies. However, appropriate sampling strategies in the field due to spatial heterogeneity still hamper the detection of species distribution and temporal evolution. An increasing amount of remote sensing data seems to be the ideal way of meeting these challenges.

Understanding the response of commercial tree species to fire is essential for designing sustainable forest management strategies in West Africa. In this area of heavy deforestation for agriculture, semi-deciduous tropical forests have been reduced to a trickle over the last 50 years, and are now subject not only to logging but also to increasingly frequent fires.

What are the effects of the dry forest fires in the Gran Chaco region?
24/10/2023
Fire is a natural feature of some dry tropical ecosystems. However, in recent decades, fires have become more frequent and more intense, partly as a result of climate change and changes in land use. This is the case in the Gran Chaco Americano, one of the world's largest dry forests, which stretches across Argentina, Paraguay, Bolivia and Brazil.

A trio working together: fires, forestry and biological invasions
03/10/2023
The semi-deciduous forests of West Africa, faced with multiple disturbances linked to human activities in an interdependent manner, are the focus of a new study published in Biological Conservation by the Institut National Polytechnique Félix Houphouët-Boigny, CIRAD and Wageningen University. The study reveals the long-term consequences of grouped disturbances such as fires, logging and biological invasions on these ecosystems.
