“…To support future decision making to avoid large-scale forest fire in the Amazon, we also recommend the development of two products: (i) mapping of the forest fire risk, based on the spatial variability of the drivers of fire spread and intensity, such as the rainfall regime, amount of surface fuel and forest microclimate [2,9,26]; and (ii) mapping of potential fire impact (fire sensitivity/resistance), derived mainly from the spatiality of morphological plant traits [21][22][23]. These products could indicate specific forest types and regions demanding special attention regarding fire occurrence, such as forests recovering from disturbances, which are susceptible to even greater losses if affected by a second fire event [11,15]; and seasonally flooded forests, which are highly susceptible and sensitive to fire due to their higher fine-fuel load, and flammable root mat [29]. As previously cited, one critical region under threat of fire degradation is the Purus-Madeira, which is fully permeated by flooded forest networks.…”
