This data set contains estimates of understory fuel loads (forest litter) at six locations near Paragominas in Northeastern Amazonia. Samples were collected from three different forest conditions: primary forest, logged forest, and burned forest. Volumes and weights are provided by size and condition class based on the planar transect method of estimating understory fuel loads (Brown 1971). Means and standard errors are reported from 3 transects in each forest x condition class.

Negotiations are proceeding for a new international climate change regime that will compensate tropical nations that reduce their carbon emissions from deforestation and forest degradation. In anticipation of this new mechanism designed to slow deforestation,...
