How these connect

Forest Degradation and what it relates to. Every line is an evidence-backed relation, and the arrangement is fixed — this address draws this picture, today and next year.

  1. Forest Degradation · comparable_to · Amazon Deforestation

    Degradation and clearance are separate processes of comparable cumulative extent, and the monitoring systems built for the second systematically under-count the first.

  2. Forest Degradation · affects · Amazon Basin

    Fire, selective logging, edge effects and drought mortality alter forest function across areas that satellite clear-cut mapping records as intact.

  3. The Southeastern Amazon as a Carbon Source · caused_by · Amazon Deforestation

    The eastern basin where the carbon balance has reversed is the part that has seen the greatest cumulative clearance.

  4. The Southeastern Amazon as a Carbon Source · caused_by · Forest Degradation

    Fire and edge-driven mortality in standing but degraded forest convert biomass to emissions without registering as clearance.
