Abstract

The Brazilian–German project EcoRespira-Amazon currently conducts a study of soil respiration and soil chemistry in the Brazilian Amazon basin that comparatively examines forested land with post-forest land cover. The Amazon region, long recognized as a key component of the global carbon cycle and a tipping point in the global climate system, covers an area of 7 million km²; this study provides representative regional data that will help to fill existing knowledge gaps and to verify (or falsify) current assumptions on the role of humid tropical forest regions in the climate system.
