Tropical Deforestation in the Amazon
Tropical forests are a unique environmental resource that provide numerous global benefits. Of the world's biomes, they provide the greatest biological diversity of plants and animals. It is estimated that these forests contain at least fifty percent of the world's animal species and almost seventy five percent of the world's plant species. Increased deforestation is likely to reduce this biodi...

متن کاملCarbon emissions from deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon Region
A simulation model based on satellite observations of monthly vegetation greenness from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) was used to estimate monthly carbon fluxes in terrestrial ecosystems of Brazilian Amazon and Cerrado regions over the period 2000–2002. The NASA-CASA (Carnegie Ames Stanford Approach) model estimates of annual forest production were used for the first...
متن کاملInfluence of Environmental Governance on Deforestation in Municipalities of the Brazilian Amazon
It has been argued that measuring governance at scales smaller than global could be an important management tool. However, current studies are conducted on a global scale and use expensive methods. In the present study, we assess whether the reported governance of Amazonian municipalities is related to reductions in deforestation. Economic activity (EA) affected general governance (G) positivel...

I derive a deforestation equation from this model and test a number of those factors using county-level data for the period 1978]1988. The data include a satellite deforestation measure which allows improv...
