Daytime turbulent exchange between the Amazon forest and the atmosphere [PDF]
Detailed observations of turbulence just above and below the crown of the Amazon rain forest during the wet season are presented. The forest canopy is shown to remove high frequency turbulent fluctuations while passing lower frequencies.

Soil–Atmosphere Exchange of Nitrous Oxide, Nitric Oxide, Methane, and Carbon Dioxide in Logged and Undisturbed Forest in the Tapajos National Forest, Brazil [PDF]
, 2009 Selective logging is an extensive land use in the Brazilian Amazon region. The soil–atmosphere fluxes of nitrous oxide (N2O), nitric oxide (NO), methane (CH4), and carbon dioxide (CO2) are studied on two soil types (clay Oxisol and sandy loam Ultisol ...

Is There a Classical Inertial Sublayer Over the Amazon Forest?
Geophysical Research Letters, 2019 AbstractOn the basis of measurements over different surfaces, an inertial sublayer (ISL), where Monin‐Obukhov Similarity Theory applies, exists above z=3h, where h is canopy height. The roughness sublayer is within h<z<3h. Most studies of the surface layer above forests, however, are able to probe only a narrow region above h.

Amazon Forest maintenance as a source of environmental services [PDF]
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2008 Amazonian forest produces environmental services such as maintenance of biodiversity, water cycling and carbon stocks. These services have a much greater value to human society than do the timber, beef and other products that are obtained by destroying the forest.
