Radiocarbon dating 14C was used to determine the age and the mean diameter growth increment of samples from individual trees in various diameter size classes.
Samples collected were either tree cores Manaus and Acre or a combination of tree cores and slabs cut from stems as part of the logging in the Tapajos forest Santarem. Site boundaries: All latitude and longitude given in degrees and fractions. Radiocarbon based measurements of diameter increment rates can be used to verify and extend short-term diameter increment measurements done with dendrometers. They can also be used to constrain models of tree demography. Radiocarbon methods typically use secondary standards with each batch of samples to assess overall accuracy.
We tested a variety of methods for extraction and characterization of cellulose before opting to use the Jayme-Wise method see Gaudinski et al. We processed Firi-J wood an IAEA standard for radiocarbon to holocellulose using his method and included it as a secondary standard to demonstrate on an ongoing basis that our method did not introduce any changes in radiocarbon signature. Overall accuracy based on our ability to reproduce radiocarbon standards over many different measurements and over a period of years is plus or minus 3 per mil one standard deviation for samples close to Modern values see Xu et al.
Radiocarbon 14C was used to determine age and mean diameter increment for a total of 97 individual trees. At the Manaus and Santarem sites tree disks were collected from ongoing harvests at or near the permanent plot sites.
At the Santarem site, most of the trees sampled fell into one diameter class due to the harvesting design. Holocellulose was purified from wood, combusted see Gaudinski et al. The purified holocellulose was combusted in quartz tubes with cupric oxide wire and the resulting CO2 purified cryogenically and then reduced to a graphite target for accelerator mass spectrometry measurement of 14C at the Keck Carbon Cycle Accelerator Mass Spectrometry facility at UC Irvine Xu et al.
An aliquot of the purified CO2 was sampled with a syringe, placed in a He-filled septum vial and analyzed for stable isotopes 13C using a Gase-Bench II coupled to a continuous flow stable isotope ratio mass spectrometer Xu et al. For each tree we measured the radiocarbon age of the center portion of the tree and used the program OXCAL 3. For calibrated ages that fell between approx.
For samples that fell into this age category we either reported the center of the calibrated age range and used the oldest and youngest calendar ages as the stated error or extrapolated tree age from the more recent rates of diameter increment determined by radiocarbon history since Cain and Suess , Levin and Hesshamer Six Mississippi's worth of cafe-au-lait-colored water converges here with two Mississippi's worth of black-tea-colored water to produce the greatest hydrologic spectacle on the planet. The black-tea water, of Rio Negro, colored by decaying leaves and plants, descends from the interior jungles and hills of Colombia and is nearly sediment-free.
Where the two rivers meet, they flow side by side within the same channel for several miles. Turbulent eddies driven by the faster-moving whitewater eventually mix the two, as they merge to become the Lower Amazon River. You then proceed downstream and deeper into the jungle. Here, at the frontier of the unknown, where undiscovered species and civilizations still beckon, you arrive at Juma Jungle Lodge, your jungle sanctuary for the next four days.
Early in the morning you will depart for a sunrise excursion witnessing the transformation of the sky and listening to the sounds of the waking birds.
Guides are equipped with binoculars to complement this experience with bird watching. Enjoy a breakfast with typical fruits and regional food. Depart for a jungle hike. In this educational jungle walk, your expert guide will introduce you to the wildlife of the Amazon.

They will show you plants and describe their uses, as many are edible or medicinal. The paths implemented in exploration walks are constantly changed to avoid damaging the forest with overuse. Return to the lodge for lunch with regional and international cuisine. This tour allows guests to experience Juma, built completely upon stilts, from a unique perspective: underneath.
This fascinating approach provides insight regarding the construction of Juma and the role of sustainability within the lodge. Dinner will be provided from the fish you caught earlier in the afternoon. Following dinner, one of our native guides will offer an informal lecture regarding everyday life in the Amazon, and the legends, traditions and culture of the region. After breakfast, depart the lodge for a hike, followed by a stop in a captivating area of the forest to eat lunch regional cuisine baked over a fire and subsequently rest in hammocks, as the natives do.
In the afternoon, we will visit a local native house and learn from the inhabitants about their fascinating culture.
Return to the lodge and enjoy a dinner featuring regional and international cuisine. Return to the lodge for lunch.
Later, after dinner, you will embark upon a jungle night walk, the time of day in which animals make the most sounds and the light of the forest is minimal, thus making the experience much more authentic and mysterious. Breakfast followed by departure from the lodge. On the way back to Manaus, you will stop at the Pirarucu Floating Dock to see the giant Pirarucu fish also known as Arapaima , reaching almost 10 feet 3 meters and lbs kg!
From the Floating Dock you can feed the fish and observe their impressive strength. From there you will return to Manaus, arriving around pm. Catch your flight to Rio de Janeiro. Rio de Janeiro is the cultural capital of Brazil. Upon arrival in Rio you will be met at the airport and escorted to your hotel on the famous Copacabana beach. Enjoy the afternoon to relax and explore the beach. This morning you depart Rio and catch your flight to Iguassu. Overnight Loi Suites.
After breakfast, depart on a half day tour at Iguassu Falls — Brazilian Side.
Arrive at the Visitors Center, located 12 km from the heart of the park. Transfer on specially conditioned buses to the catwalks for a short walking tour, where you will have the chance to admire the falls from different viewpoints. At the end of the catwalk you will find a fantastic close-up encounter with the Devil's Throat and main falls. Today enjoy a full day of exploring the tropical rain forests and multiple waterfalls of Iguassu National Park from the Argentine side.
