Integrated Spatial Analysis of Land Degradation in Submedium São Francisco Basin, Brazil.
The São Francisco river Submiddle basin holds one of the highest concentrations of land degradation in the Brazilian Semi-arid region. The study analyzed land degradation in this basin using indices based on the DPSIR framework (Driver-Pressure-State-Impact-Response). Seventeen indicators were sele...

Landscape changes in the Cerrado: Challenges of land clearing, fragmentation and land tenure for biological conservation.
Land clearing, low levels of protection, and high biodiversity make the Brazilian Cerrado a hotspot for biological conservation. However, one of the most active agricultural frontiers in Brazil is located in this region. We thus aimed to evaluate the current trends of deforestation and fragmentation...

TOMASELLA, J. Inter-basin water transfers under changing climate and land use: Assessing water security and hydropower in the Paraíba do Sul River basin, Brazil.
The intensification of climate extremes and land uses poses a major challenge for water managers, especially in heavily populated basins with large reservoirs, multiple uses, and inter-basin transfers. In this study, we analyzed water security in the Paraíba do Sul River basin, responsible for supp...

Numerical assessment of tidal potential energy in the Brazilian Equatorial Shelf.
The Brazilian Equatorial Shelf (BES) is one among the macrotidal regions worldwide. This study used a high-resolution numerical configuration of the ocean model ROMS (Regional Ocean Modeling System) forced with realistic surface and lateral forcing, as well as with tides and river discharges. Tidal ...

A near real-time web-system for predicting fire spread across the Cerrado biome.
Wildfires are aggravating due to climate change. Public policies need territorial intelligence to prevent and promptly fight fires, especially in vast regions like Brazil. To this end, we have developed a fire-spread prediction system for the Brazilian Cerrado, the biome most affected by wildfires i...

Out of steady state: Tracking canopy gap dynamics across Brazilian Amazon.
Canopy gaps are evidence of disturbances on forest landscapes. A forest stand is in constant flux, with long stretches of biomass accumulation punctuated by episodic disturbances. We used multitemporal airborne laser scanning data to compare the gap dynamics of four Amazon forest sites. We assessed ...

Evaluating carbon and water fluxes and stocks in Brazil under changing climate and refined regional scenarios for changes in land use.
Climate change and land-use change can alter the role of natural vegetation as a sink or source of atmospheric carbon. In this work, we evaluate the response of water and carbon fluxes and stocks in Brazilian biomes as a proxy for ecosystem services of regional climate regulation under two contrasti...
