Investigating Changes Driving Cumulative Impacts on Native Vegetation in Mining Regions in the Northeastern Brazilian Amazon
TLDR
This research shows that the interplay of major mining and industrial investments can produce cumulative losses of native vegetation, depending on the associated industries and infrastructure required for the project development.

The role of forest conversion, degradation, and disturbance in the carbon dynamics of Amazon indigenous territories and protected areas
TLDR
A comprehensive accounting of aboveground carbon dynamics inside and outside Amazon protected lands is provided, finding that ITs and PNAs stored more than one-half of the region’s carbon in 2016 but were responsible for just 10% of the net change (−1,290 MtC).

Mining drives extensive deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon
TLDR
It is found that deforestation in 70-km buffer zones around mines has led to an estimated 9% of Brazilian Amazon deforestation since 2005, and the extent of effect could occur beyond areas of land explicitly permitted for mining.
