Rainfall Partitioning in Amazon Forest: Implications of Reduced Impact Logging on Litter Water Conservation

نویسندگان

چکیده

This study aimed to investigate how sustainable forest management can affect litter hydrological properties. We investigated the net precipitation, mass, water-holding capacity, effective and retention maximum water content in unlogged logged forests over 13 months Amazon Forest, where reduced-impact logging is allowed. The mean mass was similar for forests. capacity 220% 224% forests, fractions followed: unstructured > leaves seeds branches both 48.7% 49.3% logged, respectively, 10.3 t·ha−1 rainy dry seasons accounted 12.5 t ha−1 7.2 respectively. slightly greater (16.7 ha−1) than (16.3 ha−1). had 40% less season In general, there were no significant differences storage properties between stands. suggests that did not significantly dynamics of layer Amazonian studied.

Short-Term Effects of Reduced-Impact Logging on Copaifera spp. (Fabaceae) Regeneration in Eastern Amazon

Timber management directly influences the population dynamics of tree species, like Copaifera spp. (copaíba), which provide oil-resin with ecological and economic importance. The aim of this study was to evaluate the structure and population dynamics of Copaifera in unmanaged and managed stands by reduced-impact logging (RIL) in eastern Amazon in Pará state, Brazil. Based on a stem map of the s...

The impact of Amazonian deforestation on Amazon basin rainfall

We completed a meta-analysis of regional and global climate model simulations (n=96) of the impact of Amazonian deforestation on Amazon basin rainfall. Across all simulations, mean (±1σ) change in annual mean Amazon basin rainfall was 12 ± 11%. Variability in simulated rainfall was not explained by differences in model resolution or surface parameters. Across all simulations we find a negative ...
