Economic Causes of Deforestation in the Brazil Amazon: A Panel Data Analysis for the 2000s [PDF]
We use under-explored municipality level datasets to assess the recent economic and policy determinants of deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon. We estimate yearly panel data models (from 2002 to 2009) for 457 municipalities in the region.

The modalities of REDD+ to encourage a sustainable transition of the small farmers in São Felix do Xingu (Pará, Brésil) : Towards a consideration of the actors' diversity [PDF]
, 2013 Although the Brazilian Federal regulation approach against deforestation has been effective with large landowners, it has little touched smallholders and may have aggravated their poverty conditions. In this context, REDD+ is seen by many institutions as

The Impact of Democratization and Globalization on Environmental Sustainability in Brazil
Geological Journal, EarlyView.Fossil fuel, economic globalisation, and economic growth drive environmental degradation while democratisation positively influences environmental quality. ABSTRACT Although Brazil still possesses significant ecological reserves, the surplus in its biocapacity has been rapidly declining in recent years.

Measuring the initial impacts on deforestation of Mato Grosso's program for environmental control [PDF]
Although private forest use in Brazil has been regulated at least since the Forest Code of 1965, cumulative deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon reached 653,000 km2 by 2003 (INPE 2004). Much of this deforestation is illegal.

Geological Journal, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Climate change represents the biggest current challenge for us and for future generations. Its impact on agriculture is undeniable, considering the food security goal. Thus, the cropland footprint has been distinguished as a comprehensive index for assessing the impact of environmental changes in agricultural areas determined by the increased ...

The relationship between cellular protein content and selenium accumulation in freshwater microalgae
Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management, EarlyView.Abstract Variability in the bioconcentration of selenium (Se) by primary producers at the base of the food web results in uncertainty in predictions of bioaccumulation and ecological risk to higher trophic level organisms. Water chemistry, speciation of Se, and periphyton community composition have all been suggested as factors that contribute to ...

Tropical Forest Protection, Uncertainty, and the Environmental Integrity of Carbon Mitigation Policies [PDF]
Tropical forests are estimated to release approximately 1.7 PgC per year as a result of deforestation. Avoiding tropical deforestation could potentially play a significant role in carbon mitigation over the next 50 years if not longer.

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Depletion of dissolved oxygen (DO; hypoxia) and its influence on sensitive fauna and vulnerable life stages is an emerging concern in lotic freshwater ecosystems. A species particularly vulnerable to hypoxia is the Eastern Hellbender—a large‐bodied, fully aquatic salamander which relies on cutaneous respiration and has evolved to thrive in ...
