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...
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.
Toward an integrated monitoring framework to assess the effects of tropical forest degradation and recovery on carbon stocks and biodiversity
Tropical forests harbor a significant portion of global biodiversity and are a critical component of the climate system. Reducing deforestation and forest degradation contributes to global climate-change mitigation efforts, yet emissions and removals from forest...
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...
