Future environmental and agricultural impacts of Brazil’s Forest Code.
The role of improving the enforcement of Brazil's Forest Code in reducing deforestation in the Amazon has been highlighted in many studies. However, in a context of strong political pressure for loosening environmental protections, the future impacts of a nationwide implementation of the Forest Code...

Changes in climate and land use over the Amazon region: current and future variability and trends.
This paper shows recent progress in our understanding of climate variability and trends in the Amazon region, and how these interact with land use change. The review includes an overview of up-to-date information on climate and hydrological variability, and on warming trends in Amazonia, which reach...

Effects of the surface heterogeneities on the local climate of a fragmented landscape in Amazonia using a tile approach in the Eta/Noah-MP model.
This study evaluates the use of tiles to estimate the effects of surface heterogeneities in simulations of local climate in a landscape-fragmented region of Amazonia. Three experiments using the Eta/Noah-MP model were designed as follows: two experiments with a spatial resolution of 5 km with and wi...

Analysis of biological and meteorological controls of evapotranspiration in pristine forests and a pasture site in Amazonia.
This work studied the behavior and seasonality of evapotranspiration influenced by biotic and abiotic factors through analysis of diurnal variation of aerodynamic resistance (ra), stomatal resistance (rs) and decoupling factor (Ω). This index was proposed by Jarvis and McNaughton (1986) as an indic...

Large emissions from floodplain trees close the Amazon methane budget.
Wetlands are the largest global source of atmospheric methane (CH4) 1 , a potent greenhouse gas. However, methane emission inventories from the Amazon floodplain2,3 , the largest natural geographic source of CH4 in the tropics, consistently underestimate the atmospheric burden of CH4 determined via ...

Natural disaster risk in municipal solid waste disposal sites using GIS: a case study in São Paulo state, Brazil.
Natural disasters and finding suitable areas to dispose of municipal solid waste (MSW) are two major global challenges, both of which have several influences in the water resources and are related to climatic change, especially in developing countries like Brazil. Currently the risk of natural disas...
