Caminhos para a recuperação florestal
The future of tropical forests depends on their ability to resist and recover from multiple disturbances. Here, we evaluated how edge effects, experimental fires, extreme droughts, and blowdowns reshaped forest structure, composition, and functional traits over two...
Community fisheries and co-management on the Lower Amazon floodplain of Brazil
In response to the growth of Amazon commercial fisheries, a loose regional network of communitymanaged lakes has proliferated throughout the Amazon floodplain system. This approach has been widely perceived as a promising alternative for the sustainable management...

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...
O Prejuízo Oculto do Fogo: Custos Econômicos das Queimadas e Incêndios Florestais na Amazônia
Relatório do Instituto de Pesquisa Ambiental da Amazônia (IPAM) em colaboração com o Instituto de Pesquisa Econômica Aplicada (IPEA) e o Centro de Pesquisa Woods Hole (WHRC) sobre os prejuízos dos incêndios e queimadas florestais....
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...
