Our objectives were to develop a method that would be appropriate for long-term ecological studies, but that would permit rapid surveys to evaluate biotic complementarity and land-use planning in Amazonia. The Amazon basin covers about 7 million km2 . Therefore, even a sparse coverage, with one sample site per 10.000 km2 , would require about 700 sampling sites.
PPBio has been working in an integrated manner with several projects. New proposals were recently approved and will continue to operate in a coordinated manner with PPBio. Furthermore, new projects for the Regional Centers were approved in the PPBio/CNPq 2009 Notice. To find out more about each of these projects, click on the links below:
