The importance of social drivers in the resilient provision of ecosystem services (2011, background): “Benefits will need to reach the individuals and groups making decisions about forest use within the targeted forests such as Amazonia, rather than being absorbed by administrative processes alone (Pagiola et al., 2005; Malhi et al., 2008).”
Planetary boundaries: Guiding human development on a changing planet (2015, background): “There is no strong evidence that the biome-level threshold has been crossed, although there is some evidence of regional regime shifts (107-109).”
Large‐scale DNA‐based survey of frogs in Amazonia suggests a vast underestimation of species richness and endemism (2020, background): “However, it is exposed to multiple threats, notably climatic (Brienen et al., 2015; Malhi et al., 2008; Saatchi et al., 2013) and land use changes (Davidson et al., 2012; Lambin & Meyfroidt, 2011).”
The data void in modeling current and future distributions of tropical species (2011, background): “However, many tropical species are potentially threatened by global climate change (Bradshaw et al., 2008; Malhi et al., 2008).”
Responses of animals to habitat alteration: an overview focussing on primates (2011, background): “Forest areas close to edges are vulnerable to higher levels of desiccation as well as tree mortality, and old growth, such as large tree species associated with climax communities are replaced by pioneer species (Gascon et al. 2000, Malhi et al. 2008).”
Drought tolerance as predicted by leaf water potential at turgor loss point varies strongly across species within an Amazonian forest (2015, neutral): “Amazonian forests play a fundamental role in global biogeochemical cycles (Malhi et al. 2008; Boyce et al. 2010; Saatchi et al. 2011; Harper et al. 2013).”
Review of the literature on the links between biodiversity and climate change: impacts, adaptation and mitigation. (2009, background): “2007) to 70 per cent (Cook and Vizy 2008), and feedbacks from drying forest, increased fire incidence and fragmentation are expected to exacerbate these effects (Barlow and Peres 2008; Huntingford et al. 2008; Malhi et al. 2008).”
Direct conservation payments in the Brazilian Amazon: Scope and equity implications (2010, background): “In addition, reducing forest emissions may secure important co-benefits, conserving biodiversity, cultural values, and regional climate regulation (Malhi et al., 2008; Turner et al., 2007).”
Above-ground biomass and productivity in a rain forest of eastern South America (2008, background): “…work has been devoted to improve the quantification of NEE in the tropics (Chave et al. 2008, Grace 2004, Lewis et al. 2004, Loescher et al. 2003, Malhi et al. 2008, Saleska et al. 2003, Stephens et al. 2007), Amazonian forests remain severely understudied (Baker et al. 2004, Bonal et al. 2008).”
Ecuador’s Yasuní Biosphere Reserve: a brief modern history and conservation challenges (2009, background): “Furthermore, the reserve is located within the ‘Core Amazon’, an especially wet region (Killeen and Solórzano 2008) predicted to maintain wet, rainforest conditions as climate change-induced drought intensifies in the eastern Amazon (Malhi et al 2008).”
