The AGBC values in our map were generally lower than those reported in the 3NC from Brazil. This was especially true in riparian zones, the western portion of the basin, and areas affected by human influence. The 3rd National Communication estimated biomass using 1 × 1 km cells, an...
The lower panels show habitat change plotted through time (change from one time step to the next) and maps in the right panel (0 Ma) show cumulative habitat change over time per sub-basin. Absolute values are meaningless and are omitted. Full size image Changes in habitat resulting from ...

The extent of Brazilian surface mining was monitored systematically and continuously, producing maps and annual statistics from 1985 to 2022. Moreover, the data produced allow the classification of two distinct mining extraction patterns:garimpo(generally referred to as ASM) and industrial mining (Fig....
Land use change and deforestation can influence local temperature and climate. Here we use a coupled ocean-atmosphere model to assess the impact of savannization of the Amazon Basin on the wet-bulb globe temperature heat stress index under two climate ch

Peru's Loreto region, located in the Amazon basin, has historically experienced the highest malaria burden in the country [2]. Between 1995 and 1998, epidemics struck the region's capital city, Iquitos, following the abandonment of fumigation programmes in the 1980s [3] Despite ongoing efforts...
A large amount of dust from the Sahara reaches the Amazon Basin, as observed with satellite imagery. This dust is thought to carry micronutrients that could help fertilize the rainforest. However, considering different atmospheric transport conditions, d
