Popis: Projecting and managing the feedbacks between tropical deforestation and global earth system dynamics, and identifying potential critical thresholds or tipping points, will be key to our species’ future on this planet. By understanding the major historical processes underpinning the origins of this interaction, and bringing natural and social systems together in inter-disciplinary models, we can evaluate the degree to which past human impacts on tropical forests resulted in observable planetary ramifications that have left legacies for the 21st century and beyond. Forests at the centre of our planet and our society Historical thresholds of human–Earth-system change in the tropics Using the past to speak to the present in the tropical Anthropocene
