Tower, ground-based and satellite observations indicate that tropical deforestation results in
warmer, drier conditions at the local scale. Understanding the regional or global impacts of …

We synthesize findings from one of the world's largest and longest‐running experimental
investigations, the B iological D ynamics of F orest F ragments P roject (BDFFP). Spanning …

Abstract Version 5 of the Community Land Model (CLM5) introduces the plant hydraulic
stress (PHS) configuration of vegetation water use, which is described and compared with …

The Earth's climate is determined by a number of complex connected physical, chemical and
biological processes occurring in the atmosphere, land and ocean. The radiative properties …

Hydrological processes in the humid tropics differ from other regions in having greater
energy inputs and faster rates of change, including human-induced change. Human …

Field observations and numerical studies revealed that large scale deforestation in
Amazonia could alter the regional climate significantly, projecting a warmer and somewhat …

This review provides a comprehensive account of what is known presently about Amazonian
aerosol particles and concludes by formulating outlook and priorities for further research …

In the tropics, habitat fragmentation alters forest–climate interactions in diverse ways. On a
local scale (less than 1 km), elevated desiccation and wind disturbance near fragment …

Tropical forests dominate global terrestrial carbon (C) exchange, and recent droughts in the
Amazon Basin have contributed to short‐term declines in terrestrial carbon dioxide uptake …

The Amazon Basin is crucial to global circulatory and carbon patterns due to the large areal
extent and large flux magnitude. Biogeophysical models have had difficulty reproducing the …
