Abstract
To combine field inventories of soil and vegetation to quantify ecological thresholds driving structural and functional dynamics of secondary succession areas subjected to different land use histories across seven study regions. To develop models that incorporate socioeconomic, institutional, and demographic determinants of land use and cover change. To strengthen capacity of Amazonian institutions to carry out land use and land cover change and human dimensions research.
