CO2 physiological effect can cause rainfall decrease as strong as large-scale deforestation in the Amazon.
The climate in the Amazon region is particularly sensitive to surface processes and properties such as heat fluxes and vegetation coverage. Rainfall is a key expression of the land surface atmosphere interactions in the region due to its strong dependence on forest transpiration. While a large numbe...

Disaster risk areas in Brazil: outcomes from an intra-urban scale analysis.
This study investigates the main threats related to environmental degradation that affect Amazonian Indigenous Lands (ILs). Through a cluster analysis, we group ILs according to the set of common environmental threats that occur within and outside their limits. The results show that most of the 383 ...

Understanding water and energy fluxes in the Amazonia: Lessons from an observation-model intercomparison.
Tropical forests are an important part of global water and energy cycles, but the mechanisms that drive seasonality of their land-atmosphere exchanges have proven challenging to capture in models. Here, we (1) report the seasonality of fluxes of latent heat (LE), sensible heat (H), and outgoing shor...

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 ...

A worldwide meta-analysis review of restriction criteria for landfill siting using geographic information systems.
One of the most crucial parts of solid waste management is determining landfill site location, since multiple factors must be considered and there is no universal formula. The main purpose of this study is to make a worldwide systematic review of restriction criteria used for landfill siting using g...

Carbon and Beyond: The Biogeochemistry of Climate in a Rapidly Changing Amazon.
The Amazon Basin is at the center of an intensifying discourse about deforestation, land-use, and global change. To date, climate research in the Basin has overwhelmingly focused on the cycling and storage of carbon (C) and its implications for global climate. Missing, however, is a more comprehensi...

Spatio-temporal variation of the phytoplankton community in a tropical estuarine gradient, under the influence of river damming.
The Paraguaçu River is one of the most important rivers in Bahia State, Brazil, and the main tributary of the Todos os Santos Bay, the second largest in that country. We evaluated the spatio-temporal variations in the composition and structure of the phytoplankton community in the Paraguaçu River ...

Land-use impacts of Brazilian wind power expansion.
While wind power is a low-carbon renewable energy technology with relatively little land footprint, the necessary infrastructure expansion still has land-related environmental impacts. Brazil has seen more than a ten-fold increase in wind power capacity in the last decade. However, little is known a...

How well does the HadGEM2-ES coupled model represent the Southern Hemisphere storm tracks?.
This study presents an assessment of the ability of the Hadley Centre Global Environment Model version 2-Earth system configuration (HadGEM2-ES)-in simulating the mid-latitude storm tracks over the Southern Hemisphere (SH). The storm tracks are primarily assessed using cyclone tracking using data fr...
