A criação, reconhecimento e manutenção de áreas protegidas atendem a compromissos internacionais no âmbito das convenções das Nações Unidas sobre Diversidade Biológica e do Clima, para deter a perda de biodiversidade no planeta e conter os efeitos do aquecimento global, além dos Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável. Um patrimônio de todos os brasileiros, construído em décadas – com benefícios tão tangíveis como a oferta de energia e água e com papel relevante nas condições de vida na Terra – nunca esteve tão ameaçado como agora.

Modeling the Opportunity Costs of Reducing Legal Deforestation and the Implications for Forest Policy in Mato Grosso, Brazil

In recent decades, global society has paid growing attention to tropical deforestation as it contributes significantly to global warming. One promising way of addressing the issue is to create economic incentives to protect forests. In this study, we estimate the...

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.
