Environmental Research LettersForest structure is key to understanding the resilience of tropical forests (their ability to recover from disturbance) and predicting how these ecosystems will respond to future environmental and climatic fluctuations.

WILLINGNESS TO PAY FOR ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES AMONG SLASH-AND-BURN FARMERS IN THE PERUVIAN AMAZON: IMPLICATIONS FOR DEFORESTATION AND GLOBAL ENVIRONMENTAL MARKETS [PDF]
A Contingent Valuation survey shows that the possibility of trade in carbon sequestration services exists between utility companies and slash-and-burn farmers in the Amazon and that farmers positively value the environmental services of the forest ...

Small-scale farms in the western Brazilian Amazon: can they benefit from carbon trade? [PDF]
Recently scientists have started to examine how land-uses and land-use technologies can help mitigate carbon emissions. The half million small-scale farmers inhabiting the Amazon frontier sequester large stocks of carbon in their forests and other land ...

Characterizing the vertical structure of forests in the Brazilian Amazon
Communications Earth & EnvironmentLittle is known about the structure of tropical forests despite its critical role in the provisioning of ecosystem services. Here we assess the vertical structure of forests in the Brazilian Amazon with a large-scale airborne LiDAR dataset. We show that fire has greater impact in the lowest forest strata, differently from selective logging and ...
