Comparisons of the Noah-MP land surface model simulations with measurements of forest and crop sites in Amazonia.

This study evaluates the simulations of the Noah-MP surface processes over a crop and a forest sites in Amazonia using tower observations. Soil moisture simulations agree with the observations in both land covers, mainly during the rainy season. However, simulations show cold biases in the soil temp...

Forest transitions in mosaic landscapes: smallholder’s flexibility in land-resource use decisions and livelihood strategies from World War II to the present in the Amazon estuary.

The question of how smallholders of the Amazon estuary, locally known as cabolcos, have adapted their land use systems to produce resources during booms and busts is analyzed in this article. We draw upon more than 50 years of census data and more than 30 years of remotely sensed land-cover data to ...

Development and challenges in Brazilian municipal solid waste management.

The generation of municipal solid waste (MSW) has increased over time in Brazil, along with changes in waste quality, which gives rise to discussions regarding the importance of properly managing and disposing of these wastes. Currently, issues involving the management of MSW have a central focus in...

Multi-scale participatory scenario methods and territorial planning in the Brazilian Amazon.

In recent years, discussions regarding scenarios methods for the Brazilian Amazon have been mostly explored from the sole perspective of deforestation concerns. This paper proposes an original approach using participatory scenarios as a method that may be able to put in perspective, at different lev...

Forest edge burning in the Brazilian Amazon promoted by escaping fires from managed pastures.

Understanding to what extent different land uses influence fire occurrence in the Amazonian forest is particularly relevant for its conservation. We evaluate the relationship between forest fires and different anthropogenic activities linked to a variety of land uses in the Brazilian states of Mato ...
