Dr. Marcos Longo is a research scientist in the Climate and Ecosystem Sciences Division of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. He holds a bachelor's degree (2000) and a master's degree (2003) in Atmospheric Sciences from the University of São Paulo, and a PhD (2014) in Earth and Planetary Sciences from Harvard University. His main areas of expertise include: (1) biosphere-atmosphere interactions, focusing on the dynamics of terrestrial ecosystems and ecosystem responses to climate variability and changes in land use and land cover; (2) carbon cycling of terrestrial ecosystems, focusing on the quantification of carbon stocks and fluxes at local and regional scales; (3) ecosystem ecology, focusing on the impact of natural and anthropogenic disturbances on the structure, composition, and function of ecosystems; (4) mesoscale meteorology, focusing on the dynamics of tropical convective systems and local circulations. He is an expert in the development and application of numerical models in ecology, carbon cycling, and atmospheric dynamics. He also has experience in remote sensing to detect changes in structure and carbon stocks in tropical and temperate forests. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)

Although deforestation in the Amazon have been decreasing during the last decade, processes associated with forest degradation such as logging, fragmentation, and understory fires still contribute significantly to the carbon cycle. However, the impact of forest degradation processes on carbon cycle remains very uncertain, and observation-based studies are often too short to characterize t…
