This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Brazilian_Deforest_TB, Logging and clear cutting clears the way for Urbanization, Agriculture--local and commercial (soybean) slash and burn releases CO2 Brazilian Deforestation is a Contributing Factor, Logging and clear cutting creates Erosion of soil, Cattle Ranching (accounts for 70% of deforestation) Destroys Carbon Sinks Release of Methane and CO2 Brazilian Deforestation is a Contributing Factor, Agriculture--local and commercial (soybean) creates nurtrient poor forest soil means farmers must farm deeper into the forest, Increased Levels of Greenhouse Gases contributes to Global Waming and Green House Effect, Warm winds & Turbulence causes El Nino, Mining and Hydro dams causes Soli depletion and land stripping toxic pollutants Flooding, water pollution and erosion Waste-holding pools, Soli depletion and land stripping toxic pollutants Flooding, water pollution and erosion Waste-holding pools causes damage ecosystem kills wildlife, Highway & Road Building leads to Mining and Hydro dams, Instability in the Atmosphere causes Warm winds & Turbulence, Brazilian Deforestation is a Contributing Factor leads to Increased Levels of Greenhouse Gases, Mining and Hydro dams damages ecosystem, Logging and clear cutting loss of vegation decreases Carbon Sinks Brazilian Deforestation is a Contributing Factor, Highway & Road Building causes Urbanization, Increased Levels of Greenhouse Gases composed of CO2 Methane Water Vapour Nitrous Oxide HFC's & CFC's, Urbanization Loss of Carbon sinks Brazilian Deforestation is a Contributing Factor, Agriculture--local and commercial (soybean) leads to Logging and clear cutting, Increased Levels of Greenhouse Gases causes Instability in the Atmosphere, Highway & Road Building brings transient settlers, land speculators, and small-scale miners Diseases to Indigenous People Conflicts over land rights crime
