Amazon deforestation 'threshold' causes species loss to accelerate
Cambridge UK (SPX) Mar 06, 2015 - One of the first studies to map the impact of deforestation on biodiversity across entire regions of the Amazon has found a clear 'threshold' for forest cover below which species loss becomes more rapid and widespread.
