Assessing mammal exposure to climate change in the Brazilian Amazon
Human-induced climate change is considered a conspicuous threat to biodiversity in the 21st century. Species' response to climate change depends on their exposition, sensitivity and ability to adapt to novel climates. Exposure to climate change is however uneven within species' range, so that some p...

Assessment of two techniques to merge ground-based and TRMM rainfall measurements: a case study about Brazilian Amazon Rainforest
The availability of accurate rainfall data with high spatial resolution, especially in vast watersheds with low density of ground-measurements, is critical for planning and management of water resources and can increase the quality of the hydrological modeling predictions. In this study, we used two...

Mercury biomagnification and the trophic structure of the ichthyofauna from a remote lake in the Brazilian Amazon
The present study assesses mercury biomagnification and the trophic structure of the ichthyofauna from the Puruzinho Lake, Brazilian Amazon. In addition to mercury determination, the investigation comprised the calculation of Trophic Magnification Factor (TMF) and Trophic Magnification Slope (TMS), ...

Crescimento de cana-de-açúcar sob aplicação de biofertilizante da bovinocultura e ureia
Effluents from intensive cattle breeding and treated with anaerobic reactors are highly relevant for agricultural reuse. Current paper assesses the growth of sugarcane cultivars SP 803280 and RB 867515 for 220 days. Doses 0, 16, 48, 64, 80 and 96 kg ha-1 N were applied derived from biofertilizing so...

Canopy-scale biophysical controls of transpiration and evaporation in the Amazon Basin
Canopy and aerodynamic conductances (gC and gA) are two of the key land surface biophysical variables that control the land surface response of land surface schemes in climate models. Their representation is crucial for predicting transpiration (λET) and evaporation (λEE) flux components of the te...

Development and evaluation of species distribution models for five endangered elasmobranchs in southwestern Atlantic
Species distribution models (SDMs) are tools to obtain habitat suitability maps based on historical species occurrences and environmental variables. Those maps can be used to restrict fishing grounds or to assist in planning and reserve selection. This is especially important for species at risk of ...

Effects of particulate matter and its chemical constituents on elderly hospital admissions due to circulatory and respiratory diseases.
Various fractions of particulate matter have been associated with increased mortality and morbidity. The purpose of our study is to analyze the associations between concentrations of PM2.5, PM2.5-10, PM10 and their chemical constituents (soluble ions) with hospital admissions due to circulatory and ...

CH4 concentrations over the Amazon from GOSAT consistent with in situ vertical profile data
The Amazon Basin contains large wetland ecosystems which are important sources of methane (CH4). Spaceborne observations of atmospheric CH4 can provide constraints on emissions from these remote ecosystems, but lack of validation precludes robust estimates. We present the first validation of CH4 col...

Land-use and climate change risks in the Amazon and the need of a novel sustainable development paradigm
For half a century, the process of economic integration of the Amazon has been based on intensive use of renewable and nonrenewable natural resources, which has brought significant basin-wide environmental alterations. The rural development in the Amazonia pushed the agricultural frontier swiftly, r...
