We investigated the seasonal patterns of Amazonian forest photosynthetic activity, and the effects thereon of variations in climate and land-use, by integrating data from a network of ground-based eddy flux… More
To predict forest response to long-term climate change with high confidence requires that dynamic global vegetation models (DGVMs) be successfully tested against ecosystem response to short-term variations in environmental drivers,… More
Tropical forests are an important part of global water and energy cycles, but the mechanisms that drive seasonality of their land-atmosphere exchanges have proven challenging to capture in models. Here,… More
The conversion of forests alters the microclimate. The entry of polar air masses occurs in South America, but in the Amazon, the effect is different, with temperature drops in winter… More
The expansion of the agricultural frontier driven by deforestation in the Amazon has promoted the increasing conversion of land use and land cover, where forests are being converted into pastures,… More
