%X The Large Scale Biosphere-Atmosphere Experiment in Amazonia (LBA) has pioneered a novel approach in environmental sciences. It is an integrated, regional study aimed at providing key new knowledge on tropical ecosystems to guide sustainable development policies and practices. To do that, a number of challenging scientific questions must be tackled. What are the mechanisms controlling changes in the surface fluxes of water, heat, momentum and carbon dioxide for different land covers in Amazonia? How will deforestation affect local, regional and global climate? Does future climate change arising from global warming present a danger for the maintenance of the tropical forests of Amazonia and, thus, a threat to the planets species diversity? This Special Edition of Theoretical and Applied Climatology deals with many of these questions. It should be of great interested to a readership consisting of meteorologists, climatologists, geographers, Earth system modellers, ecologists, graduate students and anyone wishing to learn more about biosphere-atmosphere interactions in Amazonia, particularly the interactions of the physical climate with the carbon cycle.
