Bioeconomia e sociobiodiversidade amazônica: um potencial de eixo de integração dos países da panamazônia
Este relatório pretende ser uma ferramenta de análise e reflexão acerca da bioeconomia e da sociobiodiversidade na PanAmazônia sob a perspectiva da construção de políticas públicas e estruturas de governança, bem como de iniciativas privadas e da sociedade civil,...
A better Amazon road network for people and the environment
In the next 5 y, more than 10 thousand kilometers of roads will be built or improved in the Amazon. Well-designed projects can increase employment opportunities, reduce transport costs, and support regional development. However, roads will also drive...
Mapping Three Decades of Changes in the Brazilian Savanna Native Vegetation Using Landsat Data Processed in the Google Earth Engine Platform
Widespread in the subtropics and tropics of the Southern Hemisphere, savannas are highly heterogeneous and seasonal natural vegetation types, which makes change detection (natural vs. anthropogenic) a challenging task. The Brazilian Cerrado represents the...
Potential shifts in the aboveground biomass and physiognomy of a seasonally dry tropical forest in a changing climate
Seasonally dry tropical forests (SDTFs) account for one-third of the interannual variability of global net primary productive (NPP). Large-scale shifts in dry tropical forest structure may thus significantly affect global CO2 fluxes in ways that are not fully...

The role of forest conversion, degradation, and disturbance in the carbon dynamics of Amazon indigenous territories and protected areas
Significance For decades, Amazon indigenous peoples and local communities (IPLCs) have impeded deforestation and associated greenhouse gas emissions. While emissions inside indigenous territories (ITs) and protected natural areas (PNAs) remain well below levels...
The gathering firestorm in southern Amazonia
Wildfires, exacerbated by extreme weather events and land use, threaten to change the Amazon from a net carbon sink to a net carbon source. Here, we develop and apply a coupled ecosystem-fire model to quantify how greenhouse gas–driven drying and warming would...
