The effects of partial throughfall exclusion on canopy processes, aboveground production, and biogeochemistry of an Amazon forest

The effects of partial throughfall exclusion on canopy processes, aboveground production, and biogeochemistry of an Amazon forest

Moist tropical forests in Amazonia and elsewhere are subjected to increasingly severe drought episodes through the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and possibly through deforestation-driven reductions in rainfall. The effects of this trend on tropical forest...

Unexpected results of a pilot throughfall exclusion experiment on soil emissions of CO2, CH4, N2O, and NO in eastern Amazonia

The eastern Amazon Basin may become drier as a result of less regional recirculation of water in a largely deforested landscape and because of increased frequency and intensity of El Niño events induced by global warming. Drier conditions may affect several plant...

Impacto das políticas públicas sobre manejo comunitário de recursos naturais

Experimento de criação de um sistema formal de gestão participativa dos recursos naturais florestais e de várzea. O estudo demonstra que ocorreram grandes mudanças nas políticas e nas instituições de gestão de recursos naturais, aumentando de forma substancial o grau de participação dos usuários na gestão local.
