Escalating Fire‐Driven Forest Loss in Protected Tropical Forests
Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.More than 4 million hectares of protected tropical forest have been lost to stand‐replacing fire since 2001, with annual losses increasing through time in both the Americas and Africa. Protection most commonly reduced the proportion of stand‐replacing fire, but could not decouple temporal fire trends inside PAs from those outside.

The Amazon basin in transition
Nature, 2012Agricultural expansion and climate variability have become important agents of disturbance in the Amazon basin. Recent studies have demonstrated considerable resilience of Amazonian forests to moderate annual drought, but they also show that interactions between deforestation, fire and drought potentially lead to losses of carbon storage and changes in

Modelling conservation in the Amazon basin
Nature, 2006Expansion of the cattle and soy industries in the Amazon basin has increased deforestation rates and will soon push all-weather highways into the region's core. In the face of this growing pressure, a comprehensive conservation strategy for the Amazon basin should protect its watersheds, the full range of species and ecosystem diversity, and the ...

Whether Amazonia is a carbon-dioxide source or sink has a significant effect on estimates of the global carbon budget. On an annual basis, El Nino, and its influence on precipitation in the region, seems to be a controlling factor.

Amazon Basin: A System in Equilibrium
Science, 1984Despite the very active deforestation of the last decade, the Amazon Basin is still primarily covered with trees and is a system in equilibrium. The Andes form a barrier at the western end of the basin and, coupled with the prevailing easterly winds, ensure an almost unique precipitation and water-recycling regime.

Ballast water: A threat to the Amazon Basin
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2014Ballast water exchange (BWE) is the most efficient measure to control the invasion of exotic species from ships. This procedure is being used for merchant ships in national and international voyages. The ballast water (BW) salinity is the main parameter to evaluate the efficacy of the mid-ocean ballast water exchange.

The Amazon Basin lies across the equator, so the climate is established by the motion of the equatorial low pressure region. The result is a very rainy wet season and a very dry dry season with two transitions. The wet season is characterized by short periods of rain several times each day, with time distribution of rainfall similar to that expected ...

Introduction Since the arrival of human beings about 12 000 years ago, wetlands have been favorite colonization areas because of their rich food resources. On Marajó Island at the mouth of the Amazon River and in its lower course, Amerindians built large chiefdoms on elevated places that provided protection against flooding (Roosevelt 1999).

Beriberi is, as yet, a very common disease in the Brazilian portion of the Amazon Basin, and that means nearly the whole of the greatest river basin in the world. The view of some foreign physicians in regard to this disease in Brazil is that perhaps beriberi here may be different from that met in other portions of the globe. After having seen beriberi
