Biomass burning activities emit high concentra- tions of aerosol particles to the atmosphere. Such particles can interact with solar radiation, decreasing the amount of light reaching the surface and increasing the fraction of dif- fuse radiation through scattering processes, and thus has im- plications for photosynthesis within plant canopies. This work reports results from photosynthetically active radia- tion (PAR) and aerosol optical depth (AOD) measurements conducted simultaneously at Reserva Bioldo Jaru (Rondonia State, Brazil) during LBA/SMOCC (Large-Scale Biosphere-Atmosphere Experiment in Amazonia/ Smoke, Aerosols, Clouds, Rainfall, and Climate) and RaCCI (Radia- tion, Cloud, and Climate Interactions in the Amazon during the Dry-to-Wet Transition Season) field experiments from 15 September to 15 November 2002. AOD values were re- trieved from an AERONET (Aerosol Robotic Network) ra- diometer, MODIS (Moderate Resolution Spectroradiometer) and a portable sunphotometer from the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture - Forest Service. Significant reduction of PAR irradiance at the top of the canopy was observed due to the smoke aerosol particles layer. This radiation reduction affected turbulent fluxes of sensible and latent heats. The in- crease of AOD also enhanced the transmission of PAR inside the canopy. As a consequence, the availability of diffuse radi- ation was enhanced due to light scattering by the aerosol par- ticles. A complex relationship was identified between light availability inside the canopy and net ecosystem exchange (NEE). The results showed that the increase of aerosol op- tical depth corresponded to an increase of CO2 uptake by the vegetation. However, for even higher AOD values, the
