abstract = "In the last years, global CO2 concentrations have reach levels
never seen before reaching more than 400 ppm. Among the main
causes of these emissions are the burning of fossil fuels and the
land use and cover change (LUCC) related emissions. In the Amazon
region, the main CO2 emissions are related to deforestation.
Multitemporal LUCC datasets have been restrict to Brazil, but now
has been released a pan-Amazon dataset for all the countries
sharing the Amazon, opening the possibility of studying the Amazon
forests as a whole. On the other hand, the lower-troposphere
greenhouse gas (GHG) monitoring program Carbam project, has been
collecting biweekly GHGs vertical profiles in four sites of the
Amazon since 2010, filling a very important gap in regional GHGs
measurements. Our purpose is to understand the relationships
between regional LUCC and CO2 aircraft measurements in the Amazon.
Here we present the relationships between annual LUCC data from
2010 to 2017 in the Amazon forest and in each mean influence area
of Carbam sites comparing them with mean annual CO2 fluxes.
Considering the whole Amazon forests and the mean annual CO2
fluxes, the years with more forest loss and agriculture increase
are 2010 and 2016, showing relation with CO2 fluxes. On the other
hand, 2011 and 2017 also have deforestation (less than 2010 and
2016), but the CO2 fluxes are lower, showing that droughts could
also influence the CO2 concentrations. Looking at each influence
area, total carbon flux of Alta Floresta and Rio Branco have the
same tendency as the forest loss from 2013 to 2017, but no in 2010
and 2012. In Tabantinga, Tef{\'e} and Santarem there is no a
direct relationship between the carbon fluxes and the forest loss.
To understand better the relationships at each site, we have to
consider the years of measurements. Also, the temporal scale,
carbon fluxes are measure biweekly and the LUCC data is annual.
Looking at the potentialities and limitations of this
relationship, it will be possible to improve the methodology to
better understand the interaction of human activities and CO2
emissions on the carbon balance.",
