Evaluating multiple causes of persistent low microwave backscatter from Amazon forests after the 2005 drought [PDF]
, 2017 Amazonia has experienced large-scale regional droughts that affect forest productivity and biomass stocks. Space-borne remote sensing provides basin-wide data on impacts of meteorological anomalies, an important complement to relatively limited ground ...

Multi-Label Remote Sensing Image Classification with Latent Semantic Dependencies
Remote Sensing, 2020 Deforestation in the Amazon rainforest results in reduced biodiversity, habitat loss, climate change, and other destructive impacts. Hence obtaining location information on human activities is essential for scientists and governments working to protect ...

Soluble iron nutrients in Saharan dust over the central Amazon rainforest [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2017 The intercontinental transport of aerosols from the Sahara desert plays a significant role in nutrient cycles in the Amazon rainforest, since it carries many types of minerals to these otherwise low-fertility lands.

Forest–Fruticulture Conversion Alters Soil Traits and Soil Organic Matter Compartments
Plants, 2022 Fruticulture in the Amazonian Rainforest is one of the main causes of deforestation, biodiversity loss, and soil erosion. Fruticulture plays a key role in the soil traits and soil organic matter (SOM) compartments by altering the soil ecosystem.

The onset of grasses in the Amazon drainage basin, evidence from the fossil record [PDF]
, 2020 Poaceae (the grass family) originated in the Cretaceous, but first dominate the palynological records of the Amazon drainage basin (ADB) in the Neogene (23 to 2.5 million years ago (Ma)).

Geochemical Signature of Amazon Tropical Rainforest Soils [PDF]
Revista Brasileira de Ciência do Solo, 2018 ABSTRACT: Evaluating soil geochemical diversity in the Amazon Basin has been a challenge largely because most study sites have been at the edge of the basin and it is difficult to get samples in such a region. Here we show that even among the most weathered soils, physicochemical soil properties express lithology.

Forest Change Detection in the Amazon Rainforest
International Journal of Next-Generation Computing, 2023 Remote sensing is widely used in the prediction of forest cover. Forest plays an important role in the balance of the ecosystem. It helps to maintain the balance between climate. We depend a lot on forests for wood, oxygen, and also for the control of soil erosion. Hence it is our duty to maintain the forest cover on earth.
