Artigo do Center for International Climate and Environmental Research, Oslo, Norway, que discute as consequências da crise financeira nas políticas ambientais de 1997–1999 da Ásia, Brasil e Rússia, além de tratar da relação Estado / Organizações Não-Governamentais na Amazônia Brasileira.

Deep root water uptake in tropical Amazonian forests has been a major discovery during the last 15 yr. However, the effects of extended droughts, which may increase with climate change, on deep soil moisture utilization remain uncertain. The current study utilized a 1999–2005 record of volumetric water content (VWC) under a throughfall exclusion experiment to calibrate a one-dimensional model of the hydrologic system to estimate VWC, and to quantify the rate of root uptake through 11.5 m of soil.
