Carbon loss from forest degradation exceeds that from deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon [PDF]
Nature Climate Change, 2021 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 changes in AGB and forest area by analysing satellite-based annual AGB and ...

The drivers and impacts of Amazon forest degradation
Science, 2023 Approximately 2.5 × 106 square kilometers of the Amazon forest are currently degraded by fire, edge effects, timber extraction, and/or extreme drought, representing 38% of all remaining forests in the region.

Critical transitions in the Amazon forest system
NatureThe possibility that the Amazon forest system could soon reach a tipping point, inducing large-scale collapse, has raised global concern1–3. For 65 million years, Amazonian forests remained relatively resilient to climatic variability. Now, the region is

21st Century drought-related fires counteract the decline of Amazon deforestation carbon emissions
Nature Communications, 2018 Tropical carbon emissions are largely derived from direct forest clearing processes. Yet, emissions from drought-induced forest fires are, usually, not included in national-level carbon emission inventories.

Density-Aware Differentially Private Textual Perturbations Using Truncated Gumbel Noise
Proceedings of the International Florida Artificial Intelligence Research Society Conference, 2021 Deep Neural Networks, despite their success in diverse domains, are provably sensitive to small perturbations which cause the models to return erroneous predictions to minor transformations.
