Effects of Tropical Deforestation on Surface Energy Balance Partitioning in Southeastern Amazonia Estimated From Maximum Convective Power

Effects of Tropical Deforestation on Surface Energy Balance Partitioning in Southeastern Amazonia Estimated From Maximum Convective Power

To understand changes in land surface energy balance partitioning due to tropical deforestation, we use a physically based analytical formulation of the surface energy balance. Turbulent heat fluxes are constrained by the thermodynamic maximum power limit and a...

Effects of deforestation on headwater stream fish assemblages in the Upper Xingu River Basin, Southeastern Amazonia

The expansion of the Amazonian agricultural frontier represents the most extensive land cover change in the world, detrimentally affecting stream ecosystems which collectively harbor the greatest diversity of freshwater fish on the planet. Our goal was to test the...

Land tenure regularization in the brazilian amazon: perspectives on identifying social, economic and environmental variables for assessing its impacts

Historically the control of deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon has been related to several different drivers such as law enforcement (Assunção & Rocha 2014; Schwartzman, Moutinho & Hamburg 2012); social control of supply chains - soy moratorium (Gibbs et...
