Since Hg inputs from ASGM in the Peruvian Amazon are largely deposited to terrestrial ecosystems via interaction with the forest canopy, we tested whether higher canopy density (i.e., leaf area index) would lead to higher Hg inputs. Within the intact forest at Los Amigos Conservation Concession...
The Amazon Forest, the largest contiguous tropical forest in the world, stores a significant fraction of the carbon on land. Changes in climate and land use affect total carbon stocks, making it critical to continuously update and revise the best estimates for the region, particularly considering ...
Here we investigated the degree to which intensification could help Brazil produce more soybean without further encroachment on the Amazon forest. Our analysis shows that the continuation of current trends in soybean yield and area would lead to the conversion of an additional 5.7 Mha of forests...

Rather than thinking of the Amazon Rainforest as “one big tipping element that will vanish from Earth past a certain threshold,” it’s helpful to note that some regions are much more vulnerable to tipping than other regions, Nico Wunderling, a researcher at the Potsdam Institute...
Tree transpiration in the Amazon may enhance rainfall for downwind forests. Until now it has been unclear how this cascading effect plays out across the basin. Here, we calculate local forest transpiration and the subsequent trajectories of transpired wa
Google has taken its street-view cameras off the beaten path way off the beaten path. The panoramic-picture-taking technology will be going all the way to the jungles and rivers of the Amazon rain forest. The Internet giant this week began taking pictures of the rivers and villages of the...
