Evaluating spatial coverage of data on the aboveground biomass in undisturbed forests in the Brazilian Amazon

Carbon Balance and Management, 2019
Background Brazilian Amazon forests contain a large stock of carbon that could be released into the atmosphere as a result of land use and cover change. To quantify the carbon stocks, Brazil has forest inventory plots from different sources, but they are

Effects of habitat loss on Brazilian primates: assessing extinction thresholds in the Amazon and Atlantic Forest

Perspectives in Ecology and Conservation, 2023
Habitat loss has major impacts on biodiversity. Yet, such impacts are not always linear, as there can be threshold values of habitat amount below which species become extirpated from human-modified landscapes (extinction thresholds).

Height-diameter allometry of tropical forest trees [PDF]

, 2010
Tropical tree height-diameter (H:D) relationships may vary by forest type and region making large-scale estimates of above-ground biomass subject to bias if they ignore these differences in stem allometry.

Migration and forests in the Peruvian Amazon: A review [PDF]

, 2019
This paper reviews the literature on the links between migration and forests in the Peruvian Amazon. It highlights\ud not only the complexity of the migrant–forest interface in Peru but also the relative lack of research on these\ud dynamics. Historically, official narratives point to migrants as both the culprits of, and solutions to, the Amazon’s ...
