abstract = "Many Amazonian forest are spectacular in their capacity to resist
burning during the severe seasonal droughts that occur in nearly
half of the basin. Tree and liana root systems can expend more
than 10 m down into the region's cly soils, absorbing enough soil
water during periods of low rainfall to supply forest
transpiration and to prevent substantial leaf shedding (Nepstad et
al. 1994).",
