Dr. Ovidiu Csillik’s Work Published in PNAS

Dr. Ovidiu Csillik is pleased to share that his recent publication in PNAS has been featured in Reuters, Nature Highlights, and Mongabay. The study provides an in-depth analysis of aboveground carbon losses and gains in the Amazon forest, emphasizing the significant impact of forest degradation on the regional carbon balance. Utilizing high-resolution airborne laser scanning, the new study revealed that forest degradation affected a larger area than forest clearing, contributing substantially to the net annual carbon loss in the Brazilian Arc of Deforestation.
