Current and future patterns of fire-induced forest degradation in Amazonia

Amazon droughts directly increase forest flammability by reducing forest understory air and fuel moisture. Droughts also increase forest flammability indirectly by decreasing soil moisture, triggering leaf shedding, branch loss, and tree mortality-all of which contribute to increased fuel loads. The...
