Abstract

In western Amazonia, secondary forests are not important carbon sinks. • Official estimates of logging in Acre State differ 20-fold. Approximately 90% was illegal in the late 1990s. • Estimates of area deforested in Acre State by different institutions vary by 20 to 40+%. Consequently, uncertainty in rates of deforestation, a critical factor in carbon budgets, is probably greater than 40%. • Carbon stocks in forests of eastern Acre are comparable to those of central Amazonia. • Estimates of hot points (burning) differ 20-fold between those based on NOAA/AVHRR and those based on GOES-8. • Deforestation in Extractive Reserves tends to concentrate in specific areas that may generate conflicting land-uses in the coming decade.

Suomalaiset pelaajat arvostavat nykyään erityisesti turvallisuutta, nopeutta ja kattavaa pelivalikoimaa. Suositut online kasinot tarjoavat viihdettä jokaiseen makuun, aina perinteisistä kolikkopeleistä jännittäviin live-pöytiin saakka. Nykyaikaiset alustat on optimoitu toimimaan täydellisesti myös mobiililaitteilla, mikä mahdollistaa pelaamisen missä ja milloin tahansa. Valitsemalla luotettavan ja lisensoidun toimijan, varmistat samalla reilun pelin ja sen, että omat henkilötietosi pysyvät aina asianmukaisesti suojattuina.
