Eco-morphodynamic carbon pumping by the largest rivers in the neotropics

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

    Through remote sensing analysis of satellite datasets developed on the cloud computing platform Google Earth Engine (Supplementary Table S2) the authors focused on the area in the river corridor that had a vegetation loss due to river dynamics. With a probabilistic classification mapping ("Methods"), starting from a 30m resolution Landsat-based ­product35, this area was estimated to be 12,125 ± 286 km2 in the period 2000-2019, which corresponds to an average annual forest loss of 638 ± 15 km2/year. The authors estimated that large tropical rivers in the Neotropics export 8.90 ± 0 . . .
