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, Agriculture--local and commercial (soybean) creates nurtrient poor forest soil means farmers must farm deeper into the forest, Cattle Ranching (accounts for 70% of deforestation) Release of Methane and CO2 Brazilian Deforestation is a Contributing Factor, Warm winds & Turbulence causes El Nino, Increased Levels of Greenhouse Gases contributes to Global Waming and Green House Effect, Highway & Road Building leads to Mining and Hydro dams, Soli depletion and land stripping toxic pollutants Flooding, water pollution and erosion Waste-holding pools causes damage ecosystem kills wildlife, Mining and Hydro dams causes Soli depletion and land stripping toxic pollutants Flooding, water pollution and erosion Waste-holding pools, Brazilian Deforestation is a Contributing Factor leads to Increased Levels of Greenhouse Gases, Instability in the Atmosphere causes Warm winds & Turbulence, Highway & Road Building causes Urbanization, Logging and clear cutting loss of vegetation decreases Carbon Sinks Brazilian Deforestation is a Contributing Factor, Mining and Hydro dams damages ecosystem, Increased Levels of Greenhouse Gases composed of CO2 Methane Water Vapour Nitrous Oxide HFC's & CFC's, Agriculture--local and commercial (soybean) leads to Logging and clear cutting, Urbanization Loss of Carbon sinks Brazilian Deforestation is a Contributing Factor, 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
