Distribution of invasive exotic species Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam. in a fore...
Magalhães, Lana Cynthia Silva; Cabral, Ricardo Cesar Correa; Aguiar, Daniel Praia Portela de; Nunez, Cecilia Veronica; Maia, Jair Max FurtunatoArtocarpus heterophyllus is an invasive exotic species known for its negative impacts on Brazilian ecosystems. The aim of this study was to evaluate the distribution and population structure of A. heterophyllus in the plant community of a forest fragment in the Amazon. Individuals of this species were subject to active search at Sumaúma State Park, in Manaus, and two plots were delimited, where these individual...
Linking meteorology, turbulence, and air chemistry in the amazon rain forest
Fuentes, José D.; Chamecki, Marcelo; dos Santos, Rosa Maria Nascimento; Von Randow, Celso; Stoy, Paul C.; Katul, Gabriel George; Fitzjarrald, David RoyA field campaign reveals that the Amazon rain forest produces enough chemical species to undergo oxidation and generate aerosols, which can activate into cloud condensation nuclei and potentially influence cloud formation. © 2016 American Meteorological Society.
GNSS precipitable water vapor from an Amazonian rain forest flux tower
Adams, David K.; Silva Fernandes, Rui Manuel da; Maia, Jair Max FurtunatoUnderstanding the complex interactions between water vapor fields and deep convection on the mesoscale requires observational networks with high spatial (kilometers) and temporal (minutes) resolution. In the equatorial tropics, where deep convection dominates the vertical distribution of the most important greenhouse substance-water-these mesoscale networks are nonexistent.
