Oportunidade para bolsa pós doutorado. Para quem tem experiência em sensoriamento remoto e ecologia de floresta e quer trabalhar na Amazônia.

Oportunidade para bolsa pós-doc na Amazônia Brasileira, ligada ao INCT NExus. Você pode ter a oportunidade de trabalhar com o excelente grupo do Dr. @dvSilverio Link para o edital: drive.google.com/file/d/16zzB8X…

@EQMarques Thank you Eduardo for collaboration on these projects.

November was busy! Meeting to discuss air quality in the Brazilian Amazon at the Ministry of the Environment and teaching R at the Federal Rural University of Amazonia. All these opportunities made possible by Dr. @dvSilverio research group.

Trabalho recente Liderado pelo @maracahipes que mostra como a variabilidade intraespecífica de traços funcionais das espécies arbóreas contribui para a persistência das espécies em ambientes fragmentados.

Excellent free book and code repository for doing meta-analisys in R Huge thanks to the authors! bookdown.org/MathiasHarrer/…

Santa Claus is using Base R! Lyrics by @kjhealy, requested by @bolkerb Happy Xmas all! #rstats #parody #SantaClaus

Great concept that every bbusiness owner or manager should learn

@michellewongca @yale_eeb @Yale Wonderful news! congratulations Michelle

Nesta comunicação, liderada pelo @HernaniFMO, alertamos para os possíveis efeitos negativos que a aprovação do Marco Temporal pode trazer para as populações indígenas e para a conservação da Amazônia. #MarcoTemporalNão

The Território Indígena do Xingu (TIX) has been cited for decades as a successful buffer against the environmental woes plaguing the rest of the Amazon. “Climate change has completely changed that story,” said Woodwell’s Dr. Marcia Macedo. woodwellclimate.org/xingu-fire-reg…

O desmatamento detectado pelo @inpe_mct em abril é desolador. Mais de 1000 km2 foi ao chão. Isso equivale a duas vezes a cidade de Porto Alegre. O ritmo do desmatamento em 2022 é quase 70% maior que em 2021, ano recorde desde inicio da série em 2016. @mapbiomas

@RicardoDalagnol Hi Ricardo, This is an important point Indigenous communities have been using the slash-and-burn system for centuries and forests were probably wet enough to prevent fire. In the last decades escaped fires have occurred more often and a large area of forest has been degraded.

@dvSilverio ps: i've read only the abstract so far suggesting droughts and change in regime of slash and burn, but what do you mean, the indigenous burned those by accident due to drought, intentionally or what?

Our new paper is out! We documented changes in the fire regime and forest loss in the Território Indígena do Xingu (TIX) for the last two decades. Results indicate that conditions to which the system has adapted may have been already exceeded. doi.org/10.1088/1748-9… 1/3

Artigo aceito! Secas recorrentes e frequência de incêndios intensificaram a perda florestal no Território Indígena do Xingu (TIX), cerca 189 mil hectares (aproximadamente 7% do TIX) foram degradados entre 2001 e 2020. #Amazon #Fires #Droughts #IPAM iopscience.iop.org/article/10.108…

The video below shows the Xingu River inside of PIX. The light green area on the right, which used to be forest, is now dominated by the native grass Imperata brasiliensis. @IPAM_Amazonia @socioambiental @WoodwellClimate @UfraOficial @UFRACP 3/3

Between 2001 and 2020, nearly 7% of the TIX became degraded by recurrent drought and fire. The reduction in the mature forest was accompanied by an increase in secondary forest and grasslands. @permanewt @AlmadaHK @pmbrando @deoliveira87 @AlmadaHK 2/3
