Modeling Amazonian transitional forest micrometeorology

(American Institute of Physics) What can mathematical modeling teach us about the micrometeorology of the southern Amazonian 'transitional' forest? Quite a lot, it turns out. This particular forest is located between the rain forest of the Amazon Basin and the tropical Brazilian Savanna, so it plays a crucial role in both regional and global biogeochemical cycling. Researchers have delved into how the transitional forest ensures a connection between the rain forest and the savanna, as reported i...
