Recent extreme drought events in the Amazon rainforest: assessment of different precipitation and evapotranspiration datasets and drought indicators

open access: yesBiogeosciences, 2022
. Over the last decades, the Amazon rainforest has been hit by multiple severe drought events. Here, we assess the severity and spatial extent of the extreme drought years 2005, 2010 and 2015/16 in the Amazon region and their impacts on the regional ...

Fine roots stimulate nutrient release during early stages of leaf litter decomposition in a Central Amazon rainforest

open access: yesPlant and Soil, 2021
Large parts of the Amazon rainforest grow on weathered soils depleted in phosphorus and rock-derived cations. We tested the hypothesis that in this ecosystem, fine roots stimulate decomposition and nutrient release from leaf litter biochemically by ...

Spatial Interpolation of Air Pollutant and Meteorological Variables in Central Amazonia

open access: yesData, 2021
The Amazon Rainforest is highlighted by the global community both for its extensive vegetation cover that constantly suffers the effects of anthropic action and for its substantial biodiversity. This dataset presents data of meteorological variables from

Climatic legacy effects on the drought response of the Amazon rainforest

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, 2022
Extreme precipitation and drought events are predicted to become more intense and more frequent over the Amazon rainforest. Because changes in forest dynamics could prompt strong feedback loops to the global climate, it is of crucial importance to gain ...

Export of ice-nucleating particles from watersheds: results from the Amazon and Tocantins river plumes

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2023
We examined ice-nucleating particles (INPs) in the plumes of the Tocantins and Amazon rivers, which drain watersheds with different proportions of degraded land.

Acid rain in an Amazon rainforest [PDF]

open access: yesTellus B, 1983
Acid rain is reported from the Amazon territory of Venezuela. The volume weighted average pHwas 4.7 for 70 storms sampled from January 1979 through February 1980. At this location,remote from point sources of industrial pollution, acid rain might result from naturalbiogeochemical processes in the rainforest, from global atmospheric pollution, or from ...

Acanthosyris annonagustata C.Ulloa & P.Jørg. (Santalaceae), newly recorded for the flora of Peru [PDF]

open access: yesCheck List, 2021
We report Acanthosyris annonagustata (Santalaceae) for the flora of Peru, from an Amazon rainforest site in Madre de Dios Department. We describe the species using leaf and fruit morphological traits from field observations and botanical vouchers, and we
