内容説明
This text describes the results from ABRACOS, the Anglo-Brazilian Amazonian Climate Observation Study. ABRACOS was a major collaboration between British and Brazilian scientists with the objective of quantifying the changes to the water and carbon cycles, and the interaction between the soil, vegetation and atmosphere which occur when the primary rainforest is removed and replaced with cattle ranchland. The book analyses the measurements taken in the pasture and rainforest at a series of sites across Amazonia. These measurements are entered into the Global Circulation Models which are used to predict the climate effects of large scale deforestation. Results are presented at all scales, from the centimeter scale of leaf and soil moisture measurements, to the field scale of micrometeorological flux measurements, through to the scale of meteorological models which predict the climate of the whole Amazonian Basin. This book provides information for all those interested in the environmental effects of Amazonian deforestation and how that deforestation will affect the climatology, hydrology and ecology of the region.
