Amazonia is the arena for an ongoing extraordinary transfonnation of nature and society. This process of change can be depicted in many ways and by various disciplines, with emphasis on the biosphere or the atmosphere, as demonstrated by the Large-Scale Biosphere-Atmosphere Experiment inAmazonia (LBA). However, the human factors behind environmental change should not be neglected. This chapter introduces the section on people and environment in the region proposing an examination of the human dimensions of land use and land cover change from the LBA experience and other perspectives. As a basis for this approach, we provide a brief review on related topics and insights about opportunities for integrative research. Selected findings produced by LBA projects are highlighted and a synthetic view on research gaps, analytical gaps, data gaps, and policy implications of human dimension research in Amazonia is [presented., isbn: 9780875904764 9781118670347, Pages: 1-9
