          Abstract

          Resumo O objetivo do estudo foi identificar o panorama da Sustentabilidade na Região Metropolitana de Santarém, estado do Pará, Brasil, para os anos de 2000 e 2010, a partir do Sistema de Índices de Sustentabilidade Urbana, composto por três índices, 10 indicadores e 19 variáveis. Foram identificados avanços no desempenho dos municípios que compõem esta região, em relação aos Índice de Capacidade Político-institucional e Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano Municipal, não havendo melhoria para o Índice de Qualidade Ambiental. Investimentos na qualidade de serviços, cadeias produtivas, ordenamento territorial e gestão ambiental, fazem-se necessários para melhoria dos níveis de sustentabilidade nesta região.

          Abstract The objective of the study was to identify the sustainability scenario in the metropolitan region of Santarém, state of Pará, Brazil, for the years 2000 and 2010, based on the Urban Sustainability Indices System by three indices, 10 indicators, and 19 variables. Progress was made in the performance of the municipalities that compose this region in relation to the Political-Institutional Capacity Index and the Municipal Human Development Index. There was no improvement for the Environmental Quality Index. Investments in the quality of services, productive chains, spatial planning, and environmental management are necessary to improve sustainability levels in this region.

          A large-scale field assessment of carbon stocks in human-modified tropical forests.

          Tropical rainforests store enormous amounts of carbon, the protection of which represents a vital component of efforts to mitigate global climate change. Currently, tropical forest conservation, science, policies, and climate mitigation actions focus predominantly on reducing carbon emissions from deforestation alone. However, every year vast areas of the humid tropics are disturbed by selective logging, understory fires, and habitat fragmentation. There is an urgent need to understand the effect of such disturbances on carbon stocks, and how stocks in disturbed forests compare to those found in undisturbed primary forests as well as in regenerating secondary forests. Here, we present the results of the largest field study to date on the impacts of human disturbances on above and belowground carbon stocks in tropical forests. Live vegetation, the largest carbon pool, was extremely sensitive to disturbance: forests that experienced both selective logging and understory fires stored, on average, 40% less aboveground carbon than undisturbed forests and were structurally similar to secondary forests. Edge effects also played an important role in explaining variability in aboveground carbon stocks of disturbed forests. Results indicate a potential rapid recovery of the dead wood and litter carbon pools, while soil stocks (0-30 cm) appeared to be resistant to the effects of logging and fire. Carbon loss and subsequent emissions due to human disturbances remain largely unaccounted for in greenhouse gas inventories, but by comparing our estimates of depleted carbon stocks in disturbed forests with Brazilian government assessments of the total forest area annually disturbed in the Amazon, we show that these emissions could represent up to 40% of the carbon loss from deforestation in the region. We conclude that conservation programs aiming to ensure the long-term permanence of forest carbon stocks, such as REDD+, will remain limited in their success unless they effectively avoid degradation as well as deforestation.

            Desmatamento na Amazônia: dinâmica, impactos e controle

            O desmatamento na Amazônia procede a um alto ritmo por várias razões, muitas das quais dependem de decisões do governo. O desmatamento leva à perda de serviços ambientais, que têm um valor maior que os usos pouco sustentáveis que substituem a floresta. Estes serviços incluem a manutenção da biodiversidade, da ciclagem de água e dos estoques de carbono que evitam o agravamento do efeito estufa. Retroalimentações entre as mudanças climáticas e a floresta, por meio de processos tais como os incêndios florestais, a mortalidade de árvores por seca e calor e a liberação de estoques de carbono no solo, representam ameaças para o clima, a floresta e a população brasileira. Eventos recentes indicam que o desmatamento pode ser controlado, tendo a vontade política, pois os processos subjacentes dependem de decisões humanas.
