             abstract = "Deforestation is the primary driver of carbon losses in tropical 
                         forests, but it does not operate alone. Forest fragmentation, a 
                         resulting feature of the deforestation process, promotes indirect 
                         carbon losses induced by edge effect. This process is not 
                         implicitly considered by policies for reducing carbon emissions in 
                         the tropics. Here, we used a remote sensing approach to estimate 
                         carbon losses driven by edge effect in Amazonia over the 2001 to 
                         2015 period. We found that carbon losses associated with edge 
                         effect (947 Tg C) corresponded to one-third of losses from 
                         deforestation (2592 Tg C). Despite a notable negative trend of 7 
                         Tg C year\−1 in carbon losses from deforestation, the 
                         carbon losses from edge effect remained unchanged, with an average 
                         of 63 ± 8 Tg C year\−1. Carbon losses caused by edge effect 
                         is thus an additional unquantified flux that can counteract carbon 
                         emissions avoided by reducing deforestation, compromising the 
                         Paris Agreement's bold targets.",
