Impact of an AMOC weakening on the stability of the southern Amazon rainforest
The European Physical Journal Special Topics, 2021 The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) and the Amazon rainforest are potential tipping elements of the Earth system, i.e., they may respond with abrupt and potentially irreversible state transitions to a gradual change in forcing once a ...

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.

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.
