Baseline Surface Radiation Network (BSRN): structure and data description (1992-2017).
Small changes in the radiation budget at the earths surface can lead to large climatological responses when persistent over time. With the increasing debate on anthropogenic influences on climatic processes during the 1980s the need for accurate radiometric measurements with higher temporal resoluti...

Ecophysiological plasticity of Amazonian trees to long‑term drought.
Episodic multi-year droughts fundamentally alter the dynamics, functioning, and structure of Amazonian forests. However, the capacity of individual plant species to withstand intense drought regimes remains unclear. Here, we evaluated ecophysiological responses from a forest community where we sampl...

Photo-Fenton approach for the determination of organic nitrogen in rainwater.
The importance of taking the organic forms of nitrogen (ON) into account when estimating atmospheric nitrogen deposition has been known for a long time. However, there is still only a modest amount of data on organic nitrogen in rainwater worldwide, largely due to the difficulties and uncertainties ...

Coupling the terrestrial hydrology model with biogeochemistry to the integrated LAND surface model: Amazon Basin applications.
We coupled the hydrologic routing and flood dynamics model Terrestrial Hydrology Model with Biogeochemistry (THMB) to the Integrated LAND Surface Model (INLAND) and compared simulations of the discharge and flood extent area against gauge station and satellite-based information in the Amazon Basin. ...

Relationships between variability in precipitation, river levels, and beef cattle production in the Brazilian Pantanal.
The hydrology of the Brazilian Pantanal, part of the largest humid tropical area on the planet, follows the rhythm of seasonal floods. The traditional movement of cattle herds in the southern Pantanal is defined by these seasonal flooding patterns, which determine the availability and quality of nat...
