In this publication, IPAM briefly presents two on-the-ground initiatives with potential for REDD in the Brazilian Amazon that could be useful to create the basis of a National REDD regime in Brazil and, perhaps, in other tropical countries.

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.

Manejo e Recuperação de Mata Ciliar em Regiões Florestais da Amazônia

O objetivo dessa publicação é a defesa do bem social comum na Amazônia, conciliando o desenvolvimento socioeconômico com a conservação da natureza, partindo do pressuposto de que grande parte da degradação ambiental advinda da expansão da agricultura e pecuária na região poderia ser evitada ou revertida com práticas baratas e fáceis de implementar.
