Journal ArticleDOI
Cropland expansion changes deforestation dynamics in the southern Brazilian Amazon
Douglas C. Morton,Ruth DeFries,Yosio Edemir Shimabukuro,Liana O. Anderson,Egidio Arai,Fernando Del Bon Espírito-Santo,Ramon M. Freitas,Jeffrey T. Morisette +7 more
TL;DR: Pasture remains the dominant land use after forest clearing in Mato Grosso, but the growing importance of larger and faster conversion of forest to cropland defines a new paradigm of forest loss in Amazonia and refutes the claim that agricultural intensification does not lead to new deforestation.
Journal ArticleDOI
21st Century drought-related fires counteract the decline of Amazon deforestation carbon emissions

Domingues,Luciana V. Gatti,Luciana V. Gatti,Manuel Gloor,Yadvinder Malhi,José A. Marengo,John B. Miller,Oliver L. Phillips,Sassan Saatchi +26 more
TL;DR: It is shown that gross emissions from forest fires are more than half as great as those from deforestation during drought years, which means that carbon emission inventories intended for accounting and developing policies need to take account of substantial forest fire emissions not associated to the deforestation process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial patterns and fire response of recent Amazonian droughts
Luiz E. O. C. Aragão,Yadvinder Malhi,Rosa Maria Roman-Cuesta,Sassan Saatchi,Liana O. Anderson,Yosio Edemir Shimabukuro +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the spatial extent of these droughts and fire response to the 2005 Amazonian drought with TRMM and NOAA-12 data, respectively, and found that the area of leakage forest fires was more than five times greater than the area directly deforested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Drought sensitivity of Amazonian carbon balance revealed by atmospheric measurements
Luciana V. Gatti,Manuel Gloor,John B. Miller,Christopher E. Doughty,Yadvinder Malhi,Lucas G. Domingues,Luana S. Basso,A. Martinewski,Caio S. C. Correia,V.F. Borges,Saulo R. Freitas,R. Braz,Liana O. Anderson,Humberto Ribeiro da Rocha,John Grace,Oliver L. Phillips,Jon Lloyd +16 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that moisture has an important role in determining the Amazonian carbon balance, and the Amazon may become an increasing carbon source as a result of both emissions from fires and the suppression of net biome exchange by drought.
Journal ArticleDOI
Soils of Amazonia with particular reference to the RAINFOR sites
Carlos A. Quesada,Carlos A. Quesada,Jon Lloyd,Jon Lloyd,Liana O. Anderson,Nikolaos M. Fyllas,Michael P. Schwarz,Claudia I. Czimczik,Claudia I. Czimczik +8 more
TL;DR: A review of the existing literature about the main soil groups of Amazonia, describing their genesis, geographical patterns and principal chemical, physical and morphologic characteristics is presented in this paper.
