The publication presents two models of institutional frameworks for the development of a national policy for compensating reduced emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD) in Brazil. In addition, the book demonstrates the country’s favorable conditions for the implementation of a REDD regime and presents possible sources of funding. The expectation is that a REDD policy will help the establishment of a new development model in the Amazon, based on low-carbon technologies. Revised and updated edition.

Effects of experimental fuel additions on fire intensity and severity: unexpected carbon resilience of a neotropical forest

Global changes and associated droughts, heat waves, logging activities, and forest fragmentation may intensify fires in Amazonia by altering forest microclimate and fuel dynamics. To isolate the effects of fuel loads on fire behavior and fire‐induced changes in forest carbon cycling, we manipulated fine fuel loads in a fire experiment located in southeast Amazonia.
