Cenários de perda da cobertura florestal na área de influência do Complexo Hidroelétrico do Tapajós

The major sources of fire regime alteration worldwide include climate change, agriculture and ranching, deforestation, rural and urban development, energy production, fire exclusion and suppression, invasive species, plantations, and arson. Integrated fire management (IFM) is an approach that considers both damaging and beneficial fires within the context of the natural environments and socio-economic systems in which they occur. IFM takes into account fire ecology, socio-economic issues, and fire management technology to generate practical solutions to fire-related threats to biodiversity.

Artigo do Center for International Climate and Environmental Research, Oslo, Norway, que discute as consequências da crise financeira nas políticas ambientais de 1997–1999 da Ásia, Brasil e Rússia, além de tratar da relação Estado / Organizações Não-Governamentais na Amazônia Brasileira.

Global changes and associated droughts, heat waves, logging activities, and forest fragmentation may intensify fires in Amazonia by altering forest microclimate and fuel dynamics. To isolate the effects of fuel loads on fire behavior and fire‐induced changes in forest carbon cycling, we manipulated fine fuel loads in a fire experiment located in southeast Amazonia.
