土壤中的木炭和8.2%的树干上的火痕强烈表明，亚马逊河流域最好的研究地点之一（巴西罗赖马的Ilha de Maracá）已经烧毁。我们在这里展示的火痕的模式和图像可以帮助研究人员探索其他热带森林的燃烧历史，这对解释它们现在的生态具有重要意义。
The presence of charcoal in the soils and fire scars on 8.2 percent of tree stems strongly suggest that one of the best studied Amazonian research localities (the Ilha de Maracá in Roraima, Brazil) has burned. The patterns and images of fire scars that we present here could help researchers explore the burn history of other tropical forests, which has important implications for interpreting their present‐day ecology.
