The Balbina hydropower dam in the Central Amazon basin, established in the Uatumã River
in the 1980s, is emblematic for its socio‐environmental disaster. Its environmental impacts …

Tropical, temperate, and boreal forests are critical components of the climate system, and
the ecosystem services they provide are essential for our society (Bona n et al., 1992, Bonan …

Smoke from vegetation fires affects air quality, atmospheric cycling, and the climate in the
Amazon rain forest. A major unknown has remained the quantity of long-range transported …

The tropical forests are Earth's largest source of biogenic volatile organic compounds
(BVOCs) and thus also the largest atmospheric sink region for the hydroxyl radical (OH) …

High‐quality atmospheric CO2 measurements are sparse in Amazonia, but can provide
critical insights into the spatial and temporal variability of sources and sinks of CO2. In this …

Brazil's CH 4 emissions over the period 2010–2018 were derived for the three main sectors
of activity: anthropogenic, wetland and biomass burning. Our inverse modelling estimates …

We investigated the role of turbulent coherent structures (CS), gravity waves (GW) and low-
level jet (LLJ) propagation in the flow dynamics of the Nocturnal Boundary Layer (NBL) …

Key challenges to regionalization of methane fluxes in the Amazon basin are the large
seasonal variation in inundated areas and habitats, the wide variety of aquatic ecosystems …

This study investigates the rain-initiated mixing and variability in the mixing ratio of selected
trace gases in the atmosphere over the central Amazon rain forest. It builds on …

Aquatic ecosystems such as shallow lakes and wetlands are important emitters of the
greenhouse gas methane (CH4). Increased phosphorus (P) loading is expected to increase …
