Six maps of Amazon region showing Conservation and Restoration hotspots. (a–c) Spatial distribution of the cumulative Threat generated by the deforestation of each individual grid cell, shown for each precipitation indicator (MAP, DSL, MCWD). (d–f) Spatial distribution of the reduction in Threat resulting from the restoration of each grid cell. Brighter colors in (a–c) indicate areas where deforestation produces stronger negative impacts on downwind forest stability, while darker colors in (d–f) indicate areas where restoration leads to greater improvements in downwind forest stability.
