Drought Spotlights Extent of Damage To Amazon Basin.Deals with the impact of selective logging on the Amazon rainforest and its possible role in the drought in the Amazon river.EBSCO_bspWall Street Journal - Eastern Edition
As part of JAXA's Kyoto & Carbon Initiative, wide-swath, multi-temporal coverage of the Amazon basin has been obtained using the ScanSAR mode of ALOS PALSAR. One of the largest limitations of radar automated classification is the occurrence of speckle noise. Furthermore, the dynamic nature of...
Our estimates show that riparian wetlands of low-order streams and other small associated wetlands cover at least 25% of the forested part of the Amazon basin and about 10% of the Cerrado region. Information on the semi-arid Caatinga is lacking, but ~ 3% of the area may be occupied ...
We map the extent, infer the life-cycle length and describe spatial and temporal patterns of flowering of sarmentose bamboos (Guadua spp) in upland forests of the southwest Amazon. We first examine the spectra and the spectral separation of forests with different bamboo life stages. False-color...
Chronological studies of tree-rings from the Amazon Basin using thick target PIXE and proton backscattering analysis A tree-core sample ( Aspidosperma obscurinervium , popular name: "pequi谩 marfim") about 161 years old (cut in 1990), from the Ducke Reserve at the Amazon ... JV Martins,P...
Surface freshwater storage and variability in the Amazon basin from multi-satellite observations, 1993-2007 [1] The amount of water stored and moving through the surface water bodies of large river basins (river, floodplains, wetlands) plays a major role in the g... F Papa,F Frappart,A G...
America, northern and western Europe, and some remote regions, such as the Amazon River and the Congo River basins (Fig.3, in green). Around 60% of the examined basins (n = 5290) show dominated signal of stable water extents (with the percentage of general stable class larger than ...

Seasonally varying inundation extent and duration are key properties of wetlands, but are poorly quantified, particularly in tropical, boreal, and coastal regions. Optical sensors such as Landsat are limited by cloud cover, although sensors such as MODIS, with high repeat frequency, partly compensate...
