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.

Are we using the most appropriate methodologies to assess the sensitivity of rainforest biodiversity to habitat disturbance? [PDF]

, 2018
Accurately assessing how biodiversity responds in the Anthropocene is vital. To do so, a number of indicator taxa are commonly used to monitor human-impacted forests and the subsequent recovery of their biodiversity.

Quantifying Fire-Induced Surface Climate Changes in the Savanna and Rainforest Biomes of Brazil

Fire, 2023
This study uses a combined research approach based on remote-sensing and numerical modeling to quantify the effects of burned areas on the surface climate in the two Brazilian biomes most affected by fires: the tropical savanna and the Amazon rainforest.

Method for Lignin Analysis in Wood by Fluorescence Microscopy

Microscopy Research and Technique, EarlyView.
Autofluorescence in extractive‐free wood slides is a promising approach for investigating the relationship between fluorescence intensity and lignin content, particularly when combined with automated photomicrograph analysis using ImageJ. ABSTRACT Native Amazonian species present high anatomical variation which is reflected in their lignin content ...

Fungal spores as a source of sodium salt particles in the Amazon basin

Nature Communications, 2018
Salt particles in the Amazon basin are typically attributed to marine aerosols transported from the Atlantic Ocean. Here the authors show the potential importance of fungal spores as a source of sodium-salt particles in the Amazon rainforest.
