Most of the world’s tropical forests and carbon emissions from deforestation are in nations or states that are developing REDD+ programs to slow deforestation as their farmers prepare to certify their farms under one of the agricultural commodity roundtables.
These parallel processes could become self‐reinforcing, slowing deforestation, lowering greenhouse gas emissions, while improving the sustainability and social benefits of agricultural systems. But they are currently disconnected.

Severe droughts may alter the reproductive phenology of tropical tree species, but our understanding of these effects has been hampered by confounded variation in drought, light and other factors during natural drought events. We used a large-scale experimental reduction of throughfall in an easterncentral Amazon forest to study the phenological response to drought of an abundant subcanopy tree, Coussarea racemosa. We hypothesized that drought would alter the production and the timing of reproduction, as well as the number of viable fruits.
This report briefly describes the activities performed by the Amazon Environmental Research Institute (IPAM), during the 15th Conference of the Parties (COP) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), occurred between the 7th and 19th of December 2009, in Copenhagen, Denmark.
O bioma Cerrado desempenha um importante papel no perfil de emissões do Brasil: devido à sua extensa área, à crescente tendência da expansão agrícola e à baixa quantidade de áreas protegidas, o Cerrado é a segunda maior fonte de emissões de GEE no setor de mudança...
