Seasonal variation of surface radiation and energy balances over two contrasting areas of the seasonally dry tropical forest (Caatinga) in the Brazilian semi-arid.
Arid and semi-arid environments correspond to one-third of the Earths terrestrial surface. In these environments, precipitation is an essential and limiting element for vegetation growth and ecosystem biomass productivity. The semi-arid region of Brazil comprises around 11.5% of the national territo...

Exploring nasa’s harmonized landsat and sentinel-2 (HLS) dataset to monitor deforestation in the amazon rainforest. International Archives of the Photogrammetry
Deforestation is a threat to biodiversity and the worlds climate. As agriculture and mining areas grow, forest loss becomes unbearable for the environment. Consequently, monitoring deforestation is crucial for decision makers to create polices. The most reliable deforestation data about the Amazon f...

Evaluation of a field-deployable Nafion™-based air-drying system for collecting whole air samples and its application to stable isotope measurements of CO2.
Atmospheric flask samples are either collected at atmospheric pressure by opening a valve of a pre-evacuated flask or pressurized with the help of a pump to a few bar above ambient pressure. Under humid conditions, there is a risk that water vapor in the sample leads to condensation on the walls of ...

A new background method for greenhouse gases flux calculation based in back-trajectories over the Amazon
The large amount of carbon stored in trees and soils of the Amazon rain forest is under pressure from land use as well as climate change. Therefore, various efforts to monitor greenhouse gas exchange between the Amazon forest and the atmosphere are now ongoing, including regular vertical profile (su...

Use of forest fragments and agricultural matrices by small mammals in southeastern brazil.
The use of matrix by species that naturally inhabit forest fragments can be an important instrument to restore connectivity in fragmented landscapes. The type and structure of the matrix are determinant for this connectivity, however, few studies have explored this theme. In this study, we evaluated...

Precipitation diurnal cycle assessment of satellite-based estimates over Brazil
The main objective of this study is to assess the ability of several high-resolution satellite-based precipitation estimates to represent the Precipitation Diurnal Cycle (PDC) over Brazil during the 20142018 period, after the launch of the Global Precipitation Measurement satellite (GPM). The select...

The impact of climate change on Brazil’s agriculture.
Brazilian agricultural production provides a significant fraction of the food consumed globally, with the country among the top exporters of soybeans, sugar, and beef. However, current advances in Brazilian agriculture can be directly impacted by climate change and resulting biophysical effects. Her...

Analysis of areas undergoing desertification, using EVI2 multi-temporal data based on MODIS imagery as indicator.
Desertification is a global problem that impacts a significative part of the Earth's surface, which cause a large environmental and social losses in several regions of the world. The Brazilian semiarid region, located mainly in the northeast part of the country, includes areas of moderate to very hi...

Characterizing spatio-temporal patterns of social vulnerability to droughts, degradation and desertification in the Brazilian northeast.
Examples of how environmental susceptibility has a direct impact on the social vulnerability of a population, by affecting both the social and cultural life quality are discussed for the Northeast of Brazil, which is considered to be the poorest region of the country. Several direct and indirect mec...

Evaluation of surface fluxes using the WRF model – a case study to the Bananal wetlands? region.
The present work aimed to analyze the simulations of surface fluxes of sensible and latent heat, and global radiation using the mesoscale atmospheric model (WRF) for the Bananal Island (Tocantins state, Brazil) region during three distinct seasonal periods (flooded, dry, and wet) in 2004. The final ...

Interannual variability of carbon uptake of secondary forests in the Brazilian Amazon (2004-2014).
Tropical secondary forests (SF) play an important role in the global carbon cycle as a major terrestrial carbon sink. Here, we use high‐resolution TerraClass data set for tracking land use activities in the Brazilian Amazon from 20042014 to detect spatial patterns and carbon sequestration dynamics...
