Abstract The Amazon region is expected to become an amplified fire‐prone system, but the mechanism of fire occurrence not fully understood. Here, we employed more than 300,000 Sentinel‐2 images acquired during 2016–2019 and compiled a high‐resolution inventory active fires (AFs) over Amazon. We found that activities in 2019 did stand out compared with those 2017 as whole. However, number increa...

Indigenous people of the Rupununi region of Amazonian Guyana interact with their natural environment through hunting and subsistence agriculture. To date the sustainability of indigenous livelihoods has been analyzed by modeling either hunting or forest clearing. Here we develop a holistic model framework with agent-based modeling to examine interactions between demographic growth, hunting, sub...

We report on a nondestructive clearing technique that enhances transmission of light through specimens from diverse plant species, opening unique opportunities for microscope-enabled plant research. After clearing, plant organs and thick tissue sections are amenable to deep imaging. The clearing method is compatible with immunocytochemistry techniques and can be used in concert with common fluo...

We present a new clearing policy suitable for combinatorial exchanges with multiple autonomous bidders and sellers. We compare the revenue generated using this clearing policy with the revenue generated using periodic clearing.

Strychnos potatorum Linn.F. is a medicinally important endangered forest tree species which belongs to Loganiaceae and is also known as nirmali and clearing nut tree. In traditional medicinal systems like Ayurveda, Siddha and Greek, the plant parts are used for treating eye and urinary tract infections; gonorrhoea and kidney troubles, leucorrhoea, tuberculosis, diabetes, venereal diseases and a...
