Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from agriculture together with forestry (including land-use changes (LUC)) are responsible for nearly 30% of global anthropogenic emissions (IPCC, 2007), but the mitigation potential of these sectors is significant.

Effects of experimental fires on litter decomposition in a seasonally dry Amazonian forest
Litter decomposition is a fundamental process for nutrient cycling but we have a limited understanding of this process in disturbed tropical forests. We studied litter decomposition over a 10-mo period in a seasonally dry Amazon forest in Mato Grosso, Brazil. The...
