Fire-induced tree mortality in a neotropical forest: the roles of bark traits, tree size, wood density and fire behavior

Large‐scale wildfires are expected to accelerate forest dieback in Amazônia, but the fire vulnerability of tree species remains uncertain, in part due to the lack of studies relating fire‐induced mortality to both fire behavior and plant traits. To address this gap, we established two sets of experi...
