Tropical Deforestation and Habitat Fragmentation in the Amazon: Satellite Data from 1978 to 1988
David L. Skole,Compton J. Tucker +1 more
TL;DR: Although this rate of deforestation is lower than previous estimates, the effect on biological diversity is greater and tropical forest habitat, severely affected with respect to biological diversity, increased.

TL;DR: The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Special Report on Land Use, Land Use Change, and Forestry (SR-LULUCF) has been prepared in response to a request from the UNFCCC Subsidiary Body for Scientific and Technological Advice (SBSTA) as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Annual fluxes of carbon from deforestation and regrowth in the Brazilian Amazon
Richard A. Houghton,David L. Skole,Carlos A. Nobre,J. L. Hackler,Kira T Lawrence,Walter Chomentowski +5 more
TL;DR: The annual source of carbon from land-use change and fire approximately offsets the sink calculated for natural ecosystems in the region, so this large area of tropical forest is nearly balanced with respect to carbon, but has an interannual variability of ± 0.2 PgC yr-1.

Carbon emissions from tropical deforestation and regrowth based on satellite observations for the 1980s and 1990s.
Ruth DeFries,Richard A. Houghton,Matthew C. Hansen,Christopher B. Field,David L. Skole,John R. Townshend +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use satellite data to estimate carbon fluxes from tropical land-use change in the Northern Hemisphere and tropical Africa, based on the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and FAO Forest Resource Assessment (FRA).
