| Site Name: | Santarem-Km67-Primary Forest |
| Description: | The LBA Tapajos KM67 Mature Forest site is located in the Tapajos National Forest, a 450,000 ha closed-canopy upland forest in Amazonian Brazil. Bounded by the Tapajos River in the west and highway BR-163 to the east, the tower is located on a flat plateau (or planalto) that extends up to 150 km to the north, south, and east. Within the confines of the National Forest, anthropogenic disturbances are limited to a few small hunting trails. The surrounding stand is classified as ‘primary’ or "old-growth" predominantly by its uneven age distribution, emergent trees, numerous epiphytes, and abundant large logs. In 2007, falling trees hit the tower guy wires rendering all instrumentation in-operational. After a complete restoration, tower measurements resumed in August of 2008.
