O impacto da regularização fundiária na economia verde
Estudo publicado pelo IPAM na revista Stanford Social Innovation Review Brasil, verificou a existência de 57 mil propriedades fora dos sistemas do INCRA, o que resulta em mais de 9,9 milhões de hectares de terras sem cadastro. Quando somadas às áreas já registradas...
Sustentabilidade da cadeia da soja: visões da sociedade civil, academia e consumidores
O relatório "Sustentabilidade da cadeia da soja: visões da sociedade civil, academia e consumidores" contextualiza o crescimento da soja no Brasil e debate as estratégias para garantir a sustentabilidade da soja na Amazônia e no cerrado. O documento conta com apoio editorial de Andrea Azevedo e Tiago Reis do IPAM.
The Susceptibility of Southeastern Amazon Forests to Fire: Insights from a Large-Scale Burn Experiment
The interaction between droughts and land-use fires threaten the carbon stocks, climate regulatory functions, and biodiversity of Amazon forests, particularly in the southeast, where deforestation and land-use ignitions are high. Repeated, severe, or combined fires...
Structure and composition of altered riparian forests in an agricultural Amazonian landscape
Deforestation and fragmentation influence the microclimate, vegetation structure, and composition of remaining patches of tropical forest. In the southern Amazon, at the frontier of cropland expansion, forests are converted and fragmented in a pattern that leaves...
Landscape fragmentation, severe drought, and the new Amazon forest fire regime
Changes in weather and land use are transforming the spatial and temporal characteristics of fire regimes in Amazonia, with important effects on the functioning of dense (i.e., closed‐canopy), open‐canopy, and transitional forests across the Basin.

Propostas para o desenvolvimento sustentável em assentamentos de reforma agrária da Amazônia brasileira elaborados por representantes dos principais movimentos sociais ligados a reforma agrária na Amazônia.
Threshold Responses to Soil Moisture Deficit by Trees and Soil in Tropical Rain Forests: Insights from Field Experiments
Many tropical rain forest regions are at risk of increased future drought. The net effects of drought on forest ecosystem functioning will be substantial if important ecological thresholds are passed. However, understanding and predicting these effects is challenging using observational studies alone. Field-based rainfall exclusion (canopy throughfall exclusion; TFE) experiments can offer mechanistic insight into the response to extended or severe drought and can be used to help improve model-based simulations, which are currently inadequate.
