How these connect

Amazon Basin 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. Amazon River · located_in · Amazon Basin

    The river drains the basin and gives it its name.

  2. Manaus · located_in · Amazon Basin

    Manaus is the largest city inside the basin and holds its longest continuous river-level record.

  3. Moisture Recycling · located_in · Amazon Basin

    Recycling is a property of the basin as a coupled land-atmosphere system rather than of any point within it.

  4. Amazon Tall Tower Observatory (ATTO) · assesses · Moisture Recycling

    The tower measures atmospheric composition and structure over a large footprint of undisturbed forest, providing the reference condition for the coupled forest-atmosphere system.

  5. Amazon Tall Tower Observatory (ATTO) · located_in · Amazon Basin

    The tower stands in the Uatuma reserve northeast of Manaus, within the central basin.

  6. Brazil Nut Tree (Bertholletia excelsa) · located_in · Amazon Basin

    The species is endemic to the Amazon and its adjacent forests, with the densest stands in the southwestern basin.

  7. Jaguar (Panthera onca) · located_in · Amazon Basin

    The Amazon holds the largest remaining contiguous jaguar population.

  8. Arc of Deforestation (Arco do Desmatamento) · part_of · Amazon Basin

    The arc is the southern and eastern margin of the basin where clearance is concentrated.

  9. BR-319 (Manaus-Porto Velho Highway) · passes_through · Amazon Basin

    The Manaus-Porto Velho corridor crosses the Purus-Madeira interfluve, one of the largest remaining blocks of intact forest in the basin.

  10. 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.

  11. The 2005 Amazon Drought · affects · Amazon Basin

    The drought reversed the measured carbon balance of the western and southwestern basin.
