Role of Remote Sensing in Large Field Experiments in Amazonia

G. T. Batista

Abstract


The Amazon Basin has an important role in the global climate due to its dimension. Change in forest cover impacts the hydrological and the biogeochemical cycles of the region. Deforestation with subsequent biomass burning and decomposition causes CO2 to be released to the atmosphere contributing to the greenhouse effect.
