Biodiversity-mediated effects on ecosystem functioning depend on the type and intensity of environmental disturbances.
Environmental disturbances affect ecosystem functioning through changes in organisms' metabolism (direct effect) and biodiversity loss (indirect or biodiversity-mediated effect). It is still a challenge to separate direct and biodiversity-mediated effects of environmental changes on ecosystem functi...

Land-water-food nexus of biofuels: discourse and policy debates in Brazil.
Concerns regarding water scarcity, food security, and land/soil degradation are increasing, and these issues are far from being independent of bioenergy production. The competing need for land and water resources in food and bioenergy production have been at the forefront of policy debates. In this ...

Diversity of cattle raising systems and its effects over forest regrowth in a core region of cattle production in the Brazilian Amazon.
Roughly 60% of all deforested lands in the Brazilian Amazon are covered with pastures, putting cattle raising in evidence as a major driver of deforestation and also of forests' regrowth. Still, the role of cattle raising diversity in the landscape dynamics of this region remains poorly understood. ...

Erosion of the nocturnal boundary layer in the central Amazon during the dry season.
In this study, the erosion of the nocturnal boundary layer (NBL) was analyzed in the central Amazon during the dry season of 2014, using data from the GoAmazon 2014/5 Project and high-resolution model outputs (PArallelized Les Model PALM). The dataset consisted of in situ (radiosonde) and remote sen...

Assessing different flood risk and damage approaches: a case of study in progreso, Yucatan, Mexico.
This study applies three different methods to assess the flood risk and damage from the strongest high-pressure cold front (locally known as 'Norte') event in terms of the residual tide from 30 years (1979-2008) of data for Progreso, Yucatan. The most important difference between the three methods i...

The importance of forest extractive resources for income Generation and subsistence among caboclos and colonists in the brazilian Amazon.
We investigated the importance assigned to forest extractive resources (FR) for subsistence and income generation by colonist and Caboclos populations in the Brazilian Amazon. Key informants in 114 settlements (82 Caboclos and 32 colonists) in the southwest region of Pará classified on a four-level...

Ecology and signal structure drive the evolution of synchronous displays.
Animal synchrony is found in phylogenetically distant animal groups, indicating behavioral adaptations to different selective pressures and in different signaling modalities. A notable example of synchronous display is found in fiddler crabs in that males wave their single enlarged claw during court...

Impacts of public and private sector policies on soybean and pasture expansion in mato Grosso-Brazil from 2001 to 2017
Demand for agricultural exports in Brazil has stimulated the expansion of crop production and cattle raising, which has caused environmental impacts. In response, Brazil developed public policies such as the new Forest Code (FC) and supply chain arrangements such the Soy and the Cattle Moratoriums. ...

Analyzing the influence of the North Atlantic Ocean variability on the Atlantic meridional mode on decadal time scales.
Important features of the Atlantic meridional mode (AMM) are not fully understood. We still do not know what determines its dominant decadal variability or the complex physical processes that sustain it. Using reanalysis datasets, we investigated the influence of the North Atlantic Ocean variability...
