The Tanguro Project has begun in 2004 focusing on the development of innovative techniques for the recovery of degraded areas at the agricultural frontier. Since then, the goals have expanded. The interdisciplinary group of researchers is currently studying the processes that affect an ecosystem in order to outline an agricultural production model that is balanced with conservation of the Amazon and Cerrado.
Does the disturbance hypothesis explain the biomass increase in basin-wide Amazon forest plot data?

Positive aboveground biomass trends have been reported from old-growth forests across the Amazon basin and hypothesized to reflect a large-scale response to exterior forcing. The result could, however, be an artefact due to a sampling bias induced by the nature of...
