abstract = "It is known that the Amazon region plays an important role in the
global energy, hydrological cycle and carbon balance. This region
has been suffering from the course of the past 40 years intense
land use and land cover changes. With this in mind, this study has
examined possible associations between change in spatial and
temporal rainfall variability and land cover change in the Amazon,
using the PRECIS regional modelling system. It has been found that
the impacts of land cover change by forest removal are more
intense in the so-called Arc of deforestation over central and
southern Amazonia. However, the relative impact of the simulated
rainfall changes seems to be more important in the JJA dry season.
In addition, the simulations under the deforestation scenarios
also show the occurrence of extreme rainfall events as well as
more frequent dry periods. Therefore, the results found show to be
potentially important in the modulation of regional climate
variations which have several environmental and socio-economic
impacts.",
