AbstractAnthropogenic landscape modification may lead to the proliferation of a few species and the loss of many. Here we investigate mechanisms and functional consequences of this winner–loser replacement in six human-modified Amazonian and Atlantic Forest regions in Brazil using a causal inference framework.

1 Introduction Understanding the relationships between environmental abiotic conditions and the distribution of biodiversity across multiple scales is one of the main goals in ecology (Ricklefs 2004). Environmental gradients can provide valuable insights on how biodiversity may covary with the changes in abiotic features of the environment (García-Navas et al. 2020).

AbstractWe describe the geographical variation in tree species composition across Amazonian forests and show how environmental conditions are associated with species turnover. Our analyses are based on 2023 forest inventory plots (1 ha) that provide abundance data for a total of 5188 tree species. Within-plot species composition reflected both local environmental conditions (especially soil nutrients and hydrology) and geographical regions.

1 INTRODUCTION A major aim in ecology centres on identifying relationships between the spatial configuration of habitat patches and their biotic assemblages (Ewers et al., 2010; MacArthur & Wilson, 1963).

AbstractAmazonia’s floodplain system is the largest and most biodiverse on Earth. Although forests are crucial to the ecological integrity of floodplains, our understanding of their species composition and how this may differ from surrounding forest types is still far too limited, particularly as changing inundation regimes begin to reshape floodplain tree communities and the critical ecosystem functions they underpin.

Introduction Forests have been severely reduced worldwide as a result of agricultural intensification (Fearnside 2005). This process leads to the rapid decline in species diversity locally (Chase et al. 2020a, b2020b), but the effects of landscape change on regional biodiversity are still unclear. Within a region, declines in diversity are consistently associated with the reduction in overall habitat amount (Fahrig 2003).

1 INTRODUCTION One-third of all forests globally were lost to anthropogenic land use, over half of which during the 20th century (FAO, 2020). The Amazon represents over half of the world's remaining tropical forests and provides critical global scale ecosystem services, including climate regulation (Malhi et al., 2008), carbon storage (Avitabile et al., 2016), and biodiversity retention (Pimm et al., 2014).

Philip Fearnside [] is cautious about environmental outcomes in the Brazilian Amazon under a renewed federal administration – led once again by Luiz Inácio (Lula) da Silva – after Bolsonaro’s defeat. We agree that there is no room for complacency, and there are many challenges ahead []. Our view, however, reconciles both optimistic and pessimistic views for the Brazilian Amazon in a deeply divided country.
