Late Edition - Final , Section F , Page 1 , Column 2
ABSTRACT - "Brazilian scientists, along with American and European
researchers, are involved in Large-Scale Bio-Atmosphere Experiment in
Amazon or LBA; project is working to resolve differences in reported
carbon emissions in Brazilian Amazon region; National Institute for
Amazon Research estimates carbon emission in Brazil may have risen 50
percent over past 13 years and views deforestation as primary culprit
in increase; long-held belief that vast pristine area provides balance
to worldwide greenhouse gas emissions is challenged as Brazil has yet
to publish national inventory of carbon emissions; political issues of
Kyoto Protocal and awarding of carbon credits discussed."
