Journal ArticleDOI
Positive feedbacks in the fire dynamic of closed canopy tropical forests
Mark A. Cochrane,Ane Alencar,Mark Schulze,Carlos Souza,Daniel C. Nepstad,Paul Lefebvre,Eric A. Davidson +6 more
TL;DR: The forest fire dynamics in two regions of the eastern Amazon were studied and found that forest fires create positive feedbacks in future fire susceptibility, fuel loading, and fire intensity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Road paving, fire regime feedbacks, and the future of Amazon forests
Daniel C. Nepstad,Georgia O. Carvalho,Ana Cristina Barros,Ane Alencar,João Paulo Capobianco,Josh Bishop,Paulo Moutinho,Paul Lefebvre,Urbano Lopes da Silva,E. M. Prins +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that paving, recuperate or constructing 6245 km of roads in the Amazon may have the opposite effect of increasing forest fire in the region, and that road paving will accelerate deforestation, logging, forest fire, smoke-related illness, and displacement of small-scale farmers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Abrupt increases in Amazonian tree mortality due to drought-fire interactions.
Paulo M. Brando,Paulo M. Brando,Jennifer K. Balch,Daniel C. Nepstad,Douglas C. Morton,Francis E. Putz,Michael T. Coe,Divino Silvério,Marcia N. Macedo,Eric A. Davidson,Caroline Corrêa Nóbrega,Ane Alencar,Britaldo Soares-Filho +12 more
TL;DR: The results show that a few extreme drought events, coupled with forest fragmentation and anthropogenic ignition sources, are already causing widespread fire-induced tree mortality and forest degradation across southeastern Amazon forests.
Journal ArticleDOI
The End of Deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon
Daniel C. Nepstad,Britaldo Soares-Filho,Frank Merry,André Lima,Paulo Moutinho,John Carter,Maria Bowman,Andrea Cattaneo,Hermann Rodrigues,Stephan Schwartzman,D. McGrath,D. McGrath,C. Stickler,C. Stickler,Ruben N. Lubowski,Pedro Piris-Cabezas,Pedro Piris-Cabezas,Sergio Rivero,Ane Alencar,Oriana Trindade de Almeida,Osvaldo Stella +20 more
TL;DR: According to this analysis, these recent developments finally make feasible the end of deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon, which could result in a 2 to 5% reduction in global carbon emissions.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A novel approach and the results achieved by a multi-disciplinary network called MapBiomas to reconstruct annual land use and land cover information between 1985 and 2017 for Brazil, based on random forest applied to Landsat archive using Google Earth Engine are described.
