Genetic viability and habitat suitability of the critically endangered southern muriqui (Brachyteles arachnoides) in the Atlantic Forest’s fragmented landscapes under land use and climate change scenarios.
The joint effects of climate change and landscape fragmentation to the genetic viability of isolated populations has barely been addressed for the Atlantic Forest fauna. Therefore, this work explored the potential habitat suitability for the southern muriqui (Brachyteles arachnoides), by modeling cl...

Moisture origins of the Amazon carbon source region.
The southeastern Amazon has recently been shown to be a net carbon source, which is partly caused by drying conditions. Drying depends on a number of factors, one of which is the land cover at the locations where the moisture has originated as evaporation. Here we assess for the first time the origi...

A decentralized approach to model national and global food and land use systems.
The achievement of several sustainable development goals and the Paris Climate Agreement depends on rapid progress towards sustainable food and land systems in all countries. We have built a flexible, collaborative modeling framework to foster the development of national pathways by local research t...

The role of ecosystem transpiration in creating alternate moisture regimes by influencing atmospheric moisture convergence.
The terrestrial water cycle links the soil and atmosphere moisture reservoirs through four fluxes: precipitation, evaporation, runoff, and atmospheric moisture convergence (net import of water vapor to balance runoff). Each of these processes is essential for sustaining human and ecosystem well-bein...

Multiple controls on carbon dioxide sequestration in the beagle channel (Southern Patagonia) in early fall.
Subpolar coastal waters are key hotspots in the global carbon cycle. However, the small-scale distribution of partial pressure of carbon dioxide (pCO2) in these environments and the physical and biological controls underlying this variability are still poorly understood. Here, we examine simultaneou...

Land use and green crime: assessing the edge effect.
Green crimes are violations of environmental laws that aim to protect human well-being, natural resources, and ecosystems. Brazil has recorded an increase in green crimes in recent years. In this study, we used Spatial Durbin and other regression models to analyze the relationship between land use a...

Impacts of atmospheric CO2 increase and Amazon deforestation on the regional climate: A water budget modelling study.
Global air temperature increase has caused changes in the global climate such as droughts, floods and severe events. Land cover shifts and the increase in greenhouse gas emissions can intensify these impacts. Therefore, the application of Specific Warming Level 2 (SWL2) technique has been considered...

Earthworm species in native and planted forests in Brazil.
Over 150 species of earthworms are known from the Brazilian Atlantic rainforest, but many more are expected to live in this megadiverse biome. In the present study, we evaluated earthworm species occurrence and diversity in native and reforested areas in four National Forests in three Brazilian stat...

Earthworms in various agricultural and forest ecosystems in São Carlos-SP, Brazil.
Integrated agricultural systems have been greatly expanding in Brazil and currently cover over 30 million hectares. Although these land use systems help soil and environmental quality, little is known of their impacts on earthworm communities. In the present study we evaluated earthworm abundance, b...

Local climate zones to identify surface urban heat islands: a systematic review.
The Land Surface Temperature (LST) obtained by remote sensing data is an essential indicator for analyzing the Surface Urban Heat Island (SUHI). A factor contributing to its occurrence is the reflections of the different materials in urban and rural areas, which significantly affect the energy balan...
