Hydrological connectivity regulates the structure and function of Amazonian freshwater
ecosystems and the provisioning of services that sustain local populations. This connectivity …

We highlight the complexity of land-use/cover change and propose a framework for a more
general understanding of the issue, with emphasis on tropical regions. The review …

In the increasingly polarized international political arena, it has become difficult to find
common ground to solve Brazil's ongoing environmental crisis, which has global as well as …

The land-use and cover change (LUCC) is a major factor in the terrestrial carbon cycle.

Although deforestation rates in the Brazilian Amazon are well known, the extent of the area
affected by forest degradation is a notable data gap, with implications for conservation …

Roughly 53% of Brazil's native vegetation occurs on private properties. Native forests and
savannahs on these lands store 105±21 GtCO2e (billion tons of CO2 equivalents) and play …

Abstract Deforestation contributes 6–17% of global anthropogenic CO2 emissions to the
atmosphere. Large uncertainties in emission estimates arise from inadequate data on the …

The terrestrial carbon sink has been large in recent decades, but its size and location remain
uncertain. Using forest inventory data and long-term ecosystem carbon studies, we estimate …
