A new study by LCLUCers reveals that in the Brazilian Amazon, degradation has become more destructive than deforestation.  The researchers found that the total area where the biological function of the forest is degraded and has not been converted to another use is now greater than the amount of forest that has been completely cleared. The study is published in the journal Science. This research was also highlighted in Science Bulletin, Eureka alerts, AAAS, MSUToday, Folha de Sao Paulo, The Conversation, Earth.com News releases.
