%X The Amazonian carbon sink exerts a key influence on the global carbon cycle. Recent studies suggest that 0.4-1.0 Gt C yr-1 is sequestered by forests in this region. This value is similar to the total annual emissions of CO2 from fossil fuel burning in Western Europe (which were about 0.87 Gt C in 1996). Any changes in the Amazonian carbon sink strength resulting from changes in climate or land use will have a significant impact on global climate and are therefore of direct relevance to the formulation of global environmental and climate policies. One of the main objectives of the Large-scale Biosphere - Atmosphere Experiment in Amazonia (LBA) is to obtain and communicate a sound scientific understanding of this issue.
