Abstract: Science has a critical role to play in guiding more sustainable development trajectories. Here, we present the Sustainable Amazon Network ( Rede Amazônia Sustentável , RAS): a multidisciplinary research initiative involving more than 30 partner organizations working to assess both social and ecological dimensions of land-use sustainability in eastern Brazilian Amazonia. The research approach adopted by RAS offers three advantages for addressing land-use sustainability problems: (i) the … Show more

“…Detailed gamma-diversity data will likely never exist for most of the globe, especially at regional scales and in understudied remote tropical regions. Therefore, we need to better understand processes and patterns in the maintenance 355 and loss of beta-diversity in order effectively conserve gamma-diversity [12]. We need to examine how beta-diversity responds during land-use change to understand when and how alpha-scale research can be scaled up to gamma-scale problems and how management interventions can improve gamma-diversity conservation.…”

“…Soils were sampled from seven different land uses, namely undisturbed forest (UF), logged forest (LF), burnt forest (BF), logged and burned forest (LBF), secondary forest (SF), pasture (PA), and cropland (CP). We classified areas of Primary forest (i.e., forest that has never been cleared) into Undisturbed, Logged, Burnt, or Logged and Burnt, based on evidence from either field observations (fire and logging scars) or the manual interpretation of satellite images, as described by [21,22].…”
