Calibration of the SMAP Soil Moisture Retrieval Algorithm to Reduce Bias Over the Amazon Rainforest
IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote SensingSoil moisture (SM) is crucial for the Earth's ecosystem, impacting climate and vegetation health. Obtaining in situ observations of SM is labor-intensive and complex, particularly in remote and densely vegetated regions like the Amazon rainforest.

Soil microbes under threat in the Amazon Rainforest
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2023 Soil microorganisms are sensitive indicators of land-use and climate change in the Amazon, revealing shifts in important processes such as greenhouse gas (GHG) production, but they have been overlooked in conservation and management initiatives. Integrating soil biodiversity with other disciplines while expanding sampling efforts and targeted microbial

Evidence of localised Amazon rainforest dieback in CMIP6 models [PDF]
Earth System Dynamics, 2022 . Amazon forest dieback is seen as a potential tipping point under climate change. These concerns are partly based on an early coupled climate–carbon cycle simulation that produced unusually strong drying and warming in Amazonia.

Pronounced loss of Amazon rainforest resilience since the early 2000s
Nature Climate Change, 2021 The resilience of the Amazon rainforest to climate and land-use change is crucial for biodiversity, regional climate and the global carbon cycle. Deforestation and climate change, via increasing dry-season length and drought frequency, may already have ...
