                         Experiment in Amazonia (LBA) has been studying surface fluxes 
                         between the atmosphere and the biosphere in the Amazon biome. A 
                         network of towers is used for micrometeorologicalmeasurements 
                         across climatic and ecological gradients. Observational data show 
                         different behaviors between the equatorial part of the Amazon in 
                         the North (wet) and the Southern part (seasonally dry). Mechanisms 
                         such as deep root systems and hydraulic redistribution are 
                         evolutionary strategies allowing vegetation to take advantage of 
                         increases in surface radiation during periods with lower 
                         precipitation. However, there seems to be a physiological limiting 
                         factor, given that in these drier periods there are parts of the 
                         Amazon where carbon assimilation and evapotranspiration increase, 
                         while in other parts this is not the case. Comparing and 
                         integrating observational results into modeling work, including 
                         some of these mechanisms, has improved the predictive capacity of 
                         the models. This poster will show some of these results and 
                         discuss ongoing and future work in the Amazon within the context 
                         of the LBA Program.",
