This project is connected to the FORMAS funded ReForMit project: Climate mitigation in forest systems is critical for limiting global warming and has important implications for biosphere functions such as freshwater and biodiversity. However, there are major knowledge gaps with regard to the future resilience of forest-based interventions - i.e., their capacity to remain functional in delivering desirable water-climate-biodiversity functions despite natural and anthropogenic perturbations. ReForMit (understanding and securing the Resilience of Forest-based climate change Mitigation) aims to close these gaps, by generating knowledge on how to safeguard the biophysical and social-ecological resilience of forest-based climate change mitigation measures under shifting hydroclimatic conditions including ecological droughts. Our part is related to analyzing the local and remote effects of hydroclimatic adaptation. Specifically, in this NAISS project, we would like to study the impact on moisture recycling within tropical forests during water scarce periods. For this purpose, we continue the work of Wang-Erlandsson et al. (https://www.stockholmresilience.org/publications/publications/2024-10-13-dry-seasons-and-dry-years-amplify-the-amazon-and-congo-forests-rainfall-self-reliance.html) and analyze dry-season anomalies of moisture recycling for mean-years and dry-years in the Amazon and Congo rainforests over a period of at least 40 years using ERA5 data.
