Modeling the impact of planned highways on deforestation and illegal land occupation in a critical area of Brazilian Amazonia: the Trans-Purus region.

Deforestation in Brazilian Amazon impacts ecosystem services, affects the Amazonian population, and contributes to global warming. Public policies promoting highway construction pose a major threat to a critical area of undesignated public forests in Brazilian Amazonia: the Trans-Purus region-a vast...

Atmospheric disconnection from the Amazon forests behind extreme droughts in a tropical savanna of the Orinoco basin.

In 2014, an extreme drought caused massive, unprecedented livestock and wildlife deaths in northwestern South Americas tropical savanna region. The causes of this drought remain unclear. Here, we present evidence that a weakening of the atmospheric teleconnection from the Amazon forests is a previou...

Eutrophication triggers diel and seasonal shifts of carbon dioxide and oxygen in tropical urban coastal waters.

Coastal waters play a pivotal role in the global carbon cycle, showing increased short-term variability of dissolved oxygen saturation (DOsat) and partial pressure of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide (pCO(2) ), especially in underrepresented tropical eutrophic environments. Here, we conducted h...
