Abstract:

AbstractThis commentary examines the challenge of sustainable development in the Amazon, arguing that global efforts to mitigate climate change and current Amazonian policies are clearly inadequate to prevent global warming and deforestation from tipping the forest into a savanna. It analyses the growing climate pressures jeopardising the Amazon's resilience; the erratic Brazilian, Bolivian, Colombian, Ecuadorian and Peruvian governance of the forest; and the failure of the Amazon Cooperation Treaty Organization (ACTO) to establish long-term forest conservation policies in the region. The rese

Abstract:

AbstractThe mosaic of forest and savanna vegetation found along the northern margin of West Africa's moist forest zone has generally been understood in policy circles as a degraded and degrading forest landscape, following savannisation by its farming populations. Some ecologists have suggested that the vegetation mosaic may, however, be more stable, determined by soil differences, and others still that forest may be encroaching on savanna as a result of long-term climatic rehumidification. This article presents historical evidence from Kissidougou which shows that, contrary to scientific and

Abstract:

Without denying its striking destructiveness, deforestation can be seen as a socio-ecological process through which humans negotiate their place-making with the earth and its nonhuman inhabitants. In this article I combine qualitative and geospatial methods to document and analyse how forest clearing drove the range expansion of Atta ants in southeast Brazil over the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. First, I outline the main deforestation drivers and dynamics, focusing on the connections between clearing practices and Atta habitat formation. Then, using Historical GIS methods, I exami

Abstract:

Abstract The Kalahari high-pressure system that forms the Kalahari and Namib Deserts of Southern Africa is maintained by the sinking motion of the Hadley circulation. Despite projected desertification under the climate change, beginning in the early 21st century the Kalahari Desert and grasslands of South Africa, Lesotho-Drakensberg highland and Eswatini has experienced a trend of greening/Savannisation. Here, we find that the disparity is likely due to strong multidecadal variability. A positive phase of the Atlantic multidecadal oscillation (AMO) during this period has intensified the Hadley
