Can the Deforestation Breeze Change the Rainfall in Amazonia? A Case Study for the BR-163 Highway Region
(AMER METEOROLOGICAL SOC, 2010)
The authors simulated the effects of Amazonian mesoscale deforestation in the boundary layer and in rainfall with the Brazilian Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (BRAMS) model. They found that both the area and shape ...
Log smoldering after an Amazonian deforestation fire
(Elsevier B.V., 2004-01-01)
The characteristics of log smoldering after an Amazonian deforestation fire are described. The experiment was carried out in 2001 at the Caiabi farm, near the city of Alta Floresta, state of Mato Grosso, Brazil, as part ...
Biomass burning in Brazil`s Amazonian ""arc of deforestation"": Burning efficiency and charcoal formation in a fire after mechanized clearing at Feliz Natal, Mato Grosso
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2009)
Estimates of greenhouse-gas emissions from deforestation are highly uncertain because of high variability in key parameters and because of the limited number of studies providing field measurements of these parameters. One ...
Threshold responses of Amazonian stream fishes to timing and extent of deforestation
(2018-08-01)
Deforestation is a primary driver of biodiversity change through habitat loss and fragmentation. Stream biodiversity may not respond to deforestation in a simple linear relationship. Rather, threshold responses to extent ...
Mercury fluxes in a natural forested Amazonian catchment (Serra do Navio, Amapa State, Brazil)
(Elsevier Science BvAmsterdamHolanda, 2000)
Taxonomic and functional turnover of amazonian stream fish assemblages is determined by deforestation history and environmental variables at multiple scales
(2021-01-01)
High rates of deforestation, either in the past or the present, affect many of the ecological processes in streams. Integrating deforestation history and the current landscape structure enhances the evaluation of ecological ...
Forest Fires in the Brazilian Amazon and their Effects on Particulate Matter Concentration, Size Distribution, and Chemical Composition
(2022-01-01)
The number of fires in the Brazilian Amazon rainforest has increased in recent years. Particulate matter emitted from these fires can affect different locations, depending on air mass trajectories. Characterization of such ...
When roads cross streams: fish assemblage responses to fluvial fragmentation in lowland Amazonian streams
(Soc Brasileira Ictiologia, 2020-01-01)
Roads affect biodiversity by increasing mortality rates, habitat loss, and natural landscape fragmentation. Poorly installed culverts can impound streams, changing the environmental conditions, and affecting aquatic ...
Habitat use, trophic, and occurrence patterns of inpaichthys kerri and hyphessobrycon vilmae (Pisces: Characidae) in amazonian streams
(2020-01-01)
Fish ecomorphology and diet can help us to understand species response to impacts and coexistence patterns. Thus, we developed a comparative analysis of ecomorphology and diet of Inpaichthys kerri and Hyphessobrycon vilmae ...
