Beyond this conversion, around 8,000 km² of forests are affected yearly through wood exploitation. Inside this scenery, studies that look for the understanding of dynamics and mechanisms involved in regeneration of the original forest have great importance to assure maintenance and recovery of the biodiversity and ecological functions of the Amazon rain forest. Moreover, studies that objectify the creation or evaluation of alternatives to the sustainable use of deforested areas could contribute to reduce the deforestation pressure on untouched grounds. This book presents updated information about the actual stage of knowledge about the dynamics of Amazon forest and possibilities of handling its regeneration and recovery capacity of forest functions ("services"). We hope this book can help to look for solutions that promote the forest preservation with development of Amazon region.
