Deforestation effects on Amazon forest resilience
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Geophysical Research Letters"
DOI: 10.1002/2017gl072955
Abstract: Through vegetation-atmosphere feedbacks, rainfall reductions as a result of Amazon deforestation could reduce the resilience on the remaining forest to perturbations and potentially lead to large-scale Amazon forest loss. We track observation-based water fluxes from… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.agrformet.2017.03.009
Abstract: Abstract The failure of the Monin–Obukhov Similarity Theory (MOST) in the roughness sublayer is a major problem for the estimation of fluxes over tall forests, whenever indirect methods that rely on MOST, such as flux-gradient… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.foreco.2021.119652
Abstract: Abstract Forest fires degrade Amazon forest and its natural functions. Logging, deforestation and the increased frequency of prolonged droughts have contributed to the high recurrence of forest fires in the Amazon. Fires have impacted areas… read more here.

DOI: 10.1590/1809-4392201603113
Abstract: Reduced-impact logging is a well known practice applied in most sustainable forest management plans in the Amazon. Nevertheless, there are still ways to improve the operational planning process. Therefore, the aim of this study was… read more here.

DOI: 10.1590/2179-8087.038416
Abstract: Buttresses and other natural structures modify the shape of stems in Amazonia and change the diameter at breast height (DBH) measured at 1.3 m at ground level. The lack of adequate measurement techniques affects negatively… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/land10020225
Abstract: The burning and the deforestation of the Brazilian Amazon forest, which has been recently highlighted by the international press and occurs mostly on public or undesignated land, calls for an in-depth examination. This has traditionally… read more here.

DOI: 10.5194/bg-15-4833-2018
Abstract: Abstract. In Amazon forests, the relative contributions of climate, phenology, and disturbance to net ecosystem exchange of carbon (NEE) are not well understood. To partition influences across various timescales, we use a statistical model to… read more here.

DOI: 10.7717/peerj.6208
Abstract: The relationships among the morphoclimatic domains of South America have been a major biogeographical issue of recent years. Palynological, geological and phytogeographical data suggest that the Amazon Forest and the Atlantic Forest were connected during… read more here.
