Spatial–temporal dynamics of aboveground biomass (AGB) and forest area affect the carbon
cycle, climate and biodiversity in the Brazilian Amazon. Here we investigate interannual …

Anthropogenic and natural forest disturbance cause ecological damage and carbon
emissions. Forest disturbance in the Amazon occurs in the form of deforestation (conversion …

In recent years, the area affected by forest degradation in the Brazilian Amazon has
frequently been higher than deforestation. From August 2006 to July 2019, the degraded …

There is growing recognition of the potential of large-scale forest restoration in the Amazon
as a'nature-based solution'to climate change. However, our knowledge of forest loss and …

Secondary forests are increasing in the Brazilian Amazon and have been cited as an
important mechanism for reducing net carbon emissions. However, our understanding of the …

The largest carbon stock in tropical vegetation is in Brazilian Amazonia. In this~ 5 million
km2 area, over 750 000 km2 of forest and~ 240 000 km2 of nonforest vegetation types had …

Following an intense occupation process that was initiated in the 1960s, deforestation rates
in the Brazilian Amazon have decreased significantly since 2004, stabilizing around 6000 …

Maintaining the abundance of carbon stored aboveground in Amazon forests is central to
any comprehensive climate stabilization strategy. Growing evidence points to indigenous …

The data, information and knowledge on the tropical forest area and its dynamics in the
Brazilian Amazon remain contentious. We use time-series satellite images to quantify …

Fragmented tropical forest landscapes preserve much of the remaining biodiversity and
carbon stocks. Climate change is expected to intensify droughts and increase fire hazard …
