Impact of Past Forest Fires on Bird Populations in Flooded Forests of the Cuini River in the Lowland Amazon
Blackwater floodplain forests of the Rio Negro are susceptible to understory fires. Bird composition was distinct between burned and unburned floodplain forest but not between young (12-18 yr) and old burns (>25 yr), indicating low resilience after fire. Forest regeneration is slow, with open grassy...

Blackwater floodplain forests of the Rio Negro are susceptible to understory fires. Bird composition was distinct between burned and unburned floodplain forest but not between young (12-18 yr) and old burns (>25 yr), indicating low resilience after fire. Forest regeneration is slow, with open grassy areas persisting >80 yr. © 2012 The Author(s) Journal compilation © 2012 by The Association for Tropical Biology and Conservation. |
