We propose a protocol for strategic decision-making in the implementation of reforestation requirements in the new Forest Code. We worked with the microregion of Colíder to identify priority levels for reforestation in private lands. In addition, we estimated the investment levels required for three distinct reforestation scenarios. This work is part of ICC/University of Chicago and IPAM partnership.

Large-scale impoverishment of Amazonian forests by logging and fire

Amazonian deforestation rates are used to determine human effects on the global carbon cycle and to measure Brazil's progress in curbing forest impoverishment. But this widely used measure of tropical land use tells only part of the story. Here we present field surveys of wood mills and forest burning across Brazilian Amazonia which show that logging crews severely damage 10,000 to 15,000 km2 yr−1 of forest that are not included in deforestation mapping programmes.

Brazil's Forest Code – Assessment 2012-2016

After almost five years, the Forest Code brought about important progress to land use regulation in rural estate properties. But there is an infinity of challenges ahead for Brazil to actually advance in the implementation of the Code.

Nutrient loss and redistribution after forest clearing on a highly weathered soil in Amazonia

Over the past three decades, tropical forest clearing and burning have greatly altered the Amazonian landscape by increasing the cover of pastures and secondary forests. The alteration of biogeochemical processes on these lands is of particular interest on highly...
