Projections of future meteorological drought and wet periods in the Amazon
Future intensification of Amazon drought resulting from climate change may cause increased fire activity, tree mortality, and emissions of carbon to the atmosphere across large areas of Amazonia. To provide a basis for addressing these issues, we examine properties of recent and future meteorological droughts in the Amazon in 35 climate models.
Instrumentos econômicos de apoio à implementação do novo Código Florestal

Agricultural expansion dominates climate changes in southeastern Amazonia: the overlooked non-GHG forcing
Land use transitions during the 2000s reduced contemporaneous evapotranspiration (ET) in the Xingu region by 35 km3 and warmed the land surface temperature (LST) by 0.3 °C.
The role of leaf traits in determining litter flammability of south-eastern Amazon tree species
Leaf traits can limit or promote flammability, but how these traits vary and influence forest flammability in humid tropical forests is unknown. Species within the south-eastern transitional forests of the Brazilian Amazon are experiencing fire, particularly...
Terras indígenas na Amazônia brasileira: do orçamento à mitigação da mudança climática
Na Amazônia brasileira, os povos indígenas detêm uma parcela significativa das florestas da região. O conjunto de suas Terras cobre cerca de 110 milhões de hectares e agrega aproximadamente 30% do carbono florestal da região, o que corresponde a algo por volta de...
Indigenous Lands in the Brazilian Amazon: from budgeting to climate change mitigation
Despite the obvious and proven importance of Indigenous Lands (ILs) to mitigate climate change effects, funds allocated by the government for the management and development in ILs still fall very short of the necessary level.
