Abstract

Twenty years ago a unique ecological experiment was set up, to monitor the effects of a rapid influx of people into one of the most sparsely populated areas in the world — the Amazon. Scientists have now met in Manau, Brazil, to discuss the results of this experiment. They conclude that of the two questions that caused controversy back in 1978, only one — that of forest edge effects — is still relevant.
