Spatiotemporal analysis of deforestation patterns and drivers reveals emergent threats to tropical forest landscapes

Here, we applied Emergent Threat Analysis a process—integrating Emerging Hot Spot Analysis of deforestation, visual classification of deforestation outcomes over time, and spatial quantification of contemporary forest condition—to tropical Southeast Asia, a global epicentre of biodiversity threatened by deforestation.

Effects of climate change and land cover on the distributions of a critical tree family in the Philippines

In this paper, we modelled species distributions of dipterocarps in the Philippines, an important tree family that are key to maintaining structure and function of tropical forests in Southeast Asia, to understand potential impacts of deforestation and climate change on their current and future distributions.
