“…Another reason that makes floodplain forests more vulnerable is their naturally higher flammability compared with upland forests. In addition to having a slightly more open structure (22,23), upon the annual retreat of the waters, floodplain forests typically have large masses of exposed root mats (24) that burn easily and may spread fire effectively in drier years (6, 7) (Fig. S6).…”

“…Thus, the Husch single model (V = a × DBH b ) presented the best performance (R 2 = 0.97 and S.E.E = 0.07) and is the most appropriate model to estimate the volume of the Eschweilera genus in the Manaus region. However, the consolidation of technologies that can reduce the non-sampling error of tree height measurements in tropical forests, such as the portable profiling laser scanning technology (Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR)) [48,49], the Schumacher and Hall double entry model (V = a × DBH b × H c ) (R 2 = 0.99 and S.E.E = 0.04), could be used due to the best fit compared with all other models evaluated. In summary, when the merchantable height data are collected using accurate methods, the Schumacher and Hall model (V = a × DBH b × H c ) is the most appropriate, otherwise the Husch model (V = a × DBH b ) is the best option.…”

“…, de Almeida et al. ). The Biological Dynamics of Forest Fragments Project (BDFFP) in the Central Brazilian Amazon is one of the largest and oldest (>30 yr) controlled experiments on forest fragmentation and has contributed fundamentally to our understanding of the consequences of fragmentation for forest diversity, dynamics, and function (Lovejoy et al.…”
