System complexity and policy integration challenges: The Brazilian Energy- Water-Food Nexus (2019, background): “Climate change is modifying rainfall patterns in Brazil [14,32].”
Reconstructing Three Decades of Land Use and Land Cover Changes in Brazilian Biomes with Landsat Archive and Earth Engine (2020, background): “Deforestation for pasture and agriculture expansion, infrastructure development, cities, and political and financial incentives to land occupation are the main drivers of LULC changes in the Brazilian biomes, affecting biodiversity, water resources, carbon emissions, regional and local climate [13].”
Land-use and climate change risks in the Amazon and the need of a novel sustainable development paradigm (2016, background): “Lakes Reservoirs Res Manage 8(3-4): 201–216.”
Global change effects on humid tropical forests: Evidence for biogeochemical and biodiversity shifts at an ecosystem scale (2016, background): “In the Brazilian Amazon, for example, the population increased from 6 million in 1960 to 25 million in 2010, and forest cover declined about 80% [Davidson et al., 2012].”
Evidence for arrested succession in a liana‐infested Amazonian forest (2016, neutral): “Lianas may also be expected to benefit in coming decades, if tree mortality rates continue to rise (Brienen et al. 2015), and/or if disturbances at regional scale become more frequent because of warming, leading potentially to more frequent extreme events (Davidson et al. 2012).”
Large‐scale DNA‐based survey of frogs in Amazonia suggests a vast underestimation of species richness and endemism (2020, background): “However, it is exposed to multiple threats, notably climatic (Brienen et al., 2015; Malhi et al., 2008; Saatchi et al., 2013) and land use changes (Davidson et al., 2012; Lambin & Meyfroidt, 2011).”
Abrupt increases in Amazonian tree mortality due to drought–fire interactions (2014, background): “1 and 2)—a region that is highly vulnerable to changes in fire regime, climate change, and their interactions (2).”
Focus on changing fire regimes: interactions with climate, ecosystems, and society (2020, background): “Finally, the Amazon is one of Earth’s most critical biomes in terms of carbon storage, biodiversity, and planetary stability (Cox et al 2000, Foley et al 2007, Davidson et al 2012).”
