Isotopic composition of precipitation in a southeastern region of Brazil during the action of the south Atlantic convergence zone.
The use of stable isotopes of hydrogen and oxygen is a tool widely used to trace water paths along the hydrological cycle, providing support for understanding climatic conditions in different spatial scales. One of the main synoptic scale events acting in southeastern Brazil is the South Atlantic Co...

Reply to comment on “Comparison of cloud cover detection algorithms on sentinel-2 images of the Amazon tropical forest”.
In their comments about our paper, the authors remark on two issues regarding our results relating to the MACCS-ATCOR Joint Algorithm (MAJA). The first relates to the sub-optimal performance of this algorithm under the conditions of our tests, while the second corresponds to an error in our interpre...

Advancing a toolkit of diverse futures approaches for global environmental assessments.
Global Environmental Assessments (GEAs) are in a unique position to influence environmental decision-making in the context of sustainability challenges. To do this effectively, however, new methods are needed to respond to the needs of decision-makers for a more integrated, contextualized and goal-s...

Nutrient Balance and Use Efficiency in Agricultural Lands in the Vermelho River Watershed, Upper Pantanal, Brazil.
Agricultural systems play a key role in achieving many of the Sustainable Development Goals, established by the United Nations, given the current challenge of producing enough food to feed a global population that is expected to reach 10 billion people by 2050. More efficient and sustainable use of...

The climate change potential effects on the run-of-river plant and the environmental and economic dimensions of sustainability.
In this work, we evaluate the environmental and economic sustainability dimensions of a run-of-river hydroelectric plant operation regarding environmental impacts and potential direct and indirect effects of climate change. Results suggest the generation of a vicious cycle of clean generation and di...

Combining regional to local restoration goals in the Brazilian Atlantic forest
To achieve regional and international large-scale restoration goals with minimum costs, several restoration commitments rely on natural regeneration, a passive and inexpensive strategy. However, natural regeneration potential may vary within the landscape, mainly due to its historical context. In th...

Levers and leverage points for pathways to sustainability.
Humanity is on a deeply unsustainable trajectory. We are exceeding planetary boundaries and unlikely to meet many international sustainable development goals and global environmental targets. Until recently, there was no broadly accepted framework of interventions that could ignite the transformatio...

Land degradation mapping in the MATOPIBA region (Brazil) using remote sensing data and decision-tree analysis.
The expansion of agricultural activities in Brazil resulted in a loss of approximately 50% of the native vegetation of the Cerrado biome, mainly to the north of the biome in a region known as MATOPIBA. Besides contributing to accelerate climate change, the removal of native vegetation is associated ...

A multi-data assessment of land use and land cover emissions from Brazil during 2000-2019
Brazil is currently the largest contributor of land use and land cover change (LULCC) carbon dioxide net emissions worldwide, representing 17%-29% of the global total. There is, however, a lack of agreement among different methodologies on the magnitude and trends in LULCC emissions and their geogra...

Amazonia as a carbon source linked to deforestation and climate change.
Amazonia hosts the Earth's largest tropical forests and has been shown to be an important carbon sink over recent decades(1-3). This carbon sink seems to be in decline, however, as a result of factors such as deforestation and climate change(1-3). Here we investigate Amazonia's carbon budget and the...

. Non-structural carbohydrates mediate seasonal water stress across Amazon forests.
Non-structural carbohydrates (NSC) are major substrates for plant metabolism and have been implicated in mediating drought-induced tree mortality. Despite their significance, NSC dynamics in tropical forests remain little studied. We present leaf and branch NSC data for 82 Amazon canopy tree species...
