Burning of woody debris dominates fire emissions in the Amazon and Cerrado - Nature Geoscience
Fire emissions in the Amazon and Cerrado biomes are mainly produced from smouldering combustion of woody debris, according to observationally constrained fire emissions inventories.

The GEDI spaceborne lidar sensor shows how forests in Central Europe have changed since 2019. The canopy cover of the overstorey has declined, while that of the understorey has increased.
Nice work from @xiaoliusar.bsky.social
