1. Brazil's PRODES system provides:

  1. Annual clear-cut deforestation maps for the Amazon
  2. Hourly fire alerts from geostationary satellites
  3. LiDAR inventories of each municipality
  4. Timber price indices
Answer and working

A. Annual clear-cut deforestation maps for the Amazon

PRODES has mapped annual clear-cut deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon since 1988 from Landsat-class images; its companion DETER gives near-real-time alerts. It is not a fire-alert, LiDAR or price system.

3. A timber sale removes 1,200 m³ at a stumpage of 25 currency units per m³. The stumpage revenue is:

  1. 48 currency units
  2. 3,000 currency units
  3. 30,000 currency units
  4. 1,225 currency units
Answer and working

C. 30,000 currency units

1,200 × 25 = 30,000. 48 divides instead of multiplying; 1,225 adds.

4. Brazil's Forest Code allows a deficit in a rural property's legal reserve to be compensated by:

  1. Paying a fine to the state with no further obligation
  2. Protecting equivalent forest in the same biome

  4. Clearing a different property
Answer and working
