The eastern Amazon Basin may become drier as a result of less regional recirculation of water in a largely deforested landscape and because of increased frequency and intensity of El Niño events induced by global warming. Drier conditions may affect several plant and soil microbial processes, including soil emissions of CO2, CH4, NO, and N2O. We report here unanticipated results of a pilot study that was initiated to test the feasibility of a larger-scale throughfall exclusion experiment. In particular, soil drying caused a switch from net consumption of atmospheric CH4 by soils in the control plot to net CH4 emission from soils in the experimentally dried plot.

Indicar Estados – Monitoramento de Impacto das Políticas de Prevenção e Controle do Desmatamento na Amazônia Brasileira
Com o intuito de preencher essa lacuna de informações sobre os impactos das políticas prioritárias para prevenção e controle do desmatamento na Amazônia Brasileira o Projeto Indicar Estados foi criado. A iniciativa inclui a criação de indicadores de impacto de...
