A quarter of the deforested Amazon has regrown as secondary tropical forest and yet the climatic importance of these complex regenerating landscapes is only beginning to be recognised. Advances in satellite remote-sensing have transformed our ability to detect and...
Artigo do Center for International Climate and Environmental Research, Oslo, Norway, que discute as consequências da crise financeira nas políticas ambientais de 1997–1999 da Ásia, Brasil e Rússia, além de tratar da relação Estado / Organizações Não-Governamentais na Amazônia Brasileira.
The objective of this study was to investigate the role of dissolved CO2 (H2CO3*) as a mechanism of cation removal from surface soils under secondary land uses in the tropics.
This paper describes the main socioeconomic groups involved in the BR-163 paving debate, as well as, documents the steps that were taken to design the regional planning process for building this major Amazon road corridor.
O artigo "Por que ignorar o desmatamento de Florestas Tropicais? Uma proposta para inclusão da conservação florestal no Protocolo de Quioto" apresenta o ponto de vista de profissionais da área sobre a conservação das florestas tropicais. O documento está em inglês.
Changes in precipitation in the Amazon Basin resulting from regional deforestation, global warming, and El Niño events may affect emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), and nitric oxide (NO) from soils. Changes in soil emissions of...
Forest understory fires are an increasingly important cause of forest impoverishment in Amazonia, but little is known of the landscape characteristics and climatic phenomena that determine their occurrence. We developed empirical functions relating the occurrence...
