Combate aos Incêndios Florestais na Amazônia: Florestas Ombrófilas Densas
A publicação foi desenvolvida para apoiar brigadistas institucionais e voluntários no combate aos incêndios florestais em florestas ombrófilas densas da Amazônia, ecossistemas que, devido ao avanço das mudanças climáticas e ao aumento da frequência de secas...
Redução Compensada: Viabilizando a redução das emissões de gases de efeito estufa através da diminuição o desmatamento
Reduzir as emissões de gases de efeito estufa (GEE) pela queima de combustíveis fósseis (petróleo, carvão mineral e gás natural), especialmente nos países desenvolvidos, é fundamental para mantermos um clima global minimamente equilibrado no futuro. Contudo, esse...

Effects of partial throughfall exclusion on the phenology of Coussarea racemosa (Rubiaceae) in an east-central Amazon rainforest
Severe droughts may alter the reproductive phenology of tropical tree species, but our understanding of these effects has been hampered by confounded variation in drought, light and other factors during natural drought events. We used a large-scale experimental reduction of throughfall in an easterncentral Amazon forest to study the phenological response to drought of an abundant subcanopy tree, Coussarea racemosa. We hypothesized that drought would alter the production and the timing of reproduction, as well as the number of viable fruits.
Short-term effects of reduced-impact logging on eastern Amazon fauna
In Amazonia, the effect of logging on fauna and the ability of reduced-impact logging (RIL) techniques to conserve the ecological integrity of forests is not well understood. In this study, we evaluated the short-term effect of RIL on species richness,...
The Amazon in a Changing Climate: Large-Scale Reductions of Carbon Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Impoverishment
This report is a joint project of the Amazon Environmental Research Institute, Woods Hole Research Center (WHRC) and the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG). It is about Amazon deforestation and the potential for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from Tropical Forests.
