Agent-based model implemented using the TerraME framework to simulate the dynamic transmission of dengue fever.
The aim of this paper is using TerraME framework to develop a model that contributes in understanding the spatiotemporal behaviour of dengue transmission and the strength of control strategies. During the implementation of our model, it was necessary to adopt rules and input parameters, which repres...

On the opposite relation between extreme precipitation over west Amazon and southeastern Brazil: observations and model simulations.
During the austral summer of 2014 and 2015, a severe drought occurred in southeastern Brazil at the same time when flooding conditions were registered in the state of Acre in the western Amazonia of Brazil. This study aimed the identification of the atmospheric and oceanic large-scale characteristic...

Climate drivers of the Amazon forest greening.
Our limited understanding of the climate controls on tropical forest seasonality is one of the biggest sources of uncertainty in modeling climate change impacts on terrestrial ecosystems. Combining leaf production, litterfall and climate observations from satellite and ground data in the Amazon fore...

Litterfall mass and nutrient fluxes over an altitudinal gradient in the coastal Atlantic Forest, Brazil.
Litterfall is one of the most important pathways through which nutrients are recycled in the terrestrial biosphere. In tropical soils, which are generally low in essential nutrients such as phosphorus and cations, the flux of nutrients through litterfall is particularly important to sustaining CO2-u...

Meteorological context of the onset and end of the rainy season in Central Amazonia during the GoAmazon 2014/5
The onset and demise of the rainy season in Amazonia are assessed in this study using meteorological data from the GoAmazon experiment, with a focus on the 2014 2015 rainy season. In addition, global reanalyses are also used to identify changes in circulation leading to the establishment of the rain...

Development paradigms contributing to the transformation of the Brazilian Amazon: do people matter?
The Brazilian Amazon is being affected by the new worldwide geopolitical transformation that is tending towards an integrated global economy. In the region environmental considerations have not been adequately incorporated into long-term land use planning and this failure has partly been due to the ...

Droughts in the Amazon: identification, characterization and dynamical mechanisms associated.
In this study, we used the Standard Precipitation Index (SPI) to identify and to characterize the dry extreme events in the Amazon region. The results showed that the drought of 1998 was the most intense (SPI average equal to −1.69) in the period from 1979 to 2014. However, some papers have charac...
