Unfolding long-term late pleistocene–holocene disturbances of forest communities in the southwestern Amazonian lowlands.
Linking the distribution of plant species to geology has generally been biased by the over-simplification of landscape evolution and the lack of understanding of complex geological processes. The Amazonian lowlands have forests in different successional stages, and a growing perception is that such ...

Calibration and combination of monthly near-surface temperature and precipitation predictions over Europe.
A Bayesian method known as the Forecast Assimilation (FA) was used to calibrate and combine monthly near-surface temperature and precipitation outputs from seasonal dynamical forecast systems. The simple multimodel (SMM), a method that combines predictions with equal weights, was used as a benchmark...

Spatial and temporal changes in the land use and cover of the Paraíba Valley in São Paulo, Brazil: development of future scenarios.
The Paraíba Valley in São Paulo, Brazil, is marked by great transformations. The Brazilian economic cycles changed this region and transformed it into a great mosaic of pastures, forest fragments, and urban areas. Temporal studies on land use and cover have given information on these changes and e...

Towards a reproducible LULC hierarchical class legend for use in the southwest of Pará State, Brazil: a comparison with remote sensing data-driven hierarchies.
Land Use and Land Cover (LULC) classes defined by subjective criteria can diminish the significance of a study, hindering the reproducibility and the comparison of results with other studies. Having a standard legend for a given study area and objective could benefit a group of researchers focused o...

A generic pixel-to-point comparison for simulated large-scale ecosystem properties and ground-based observations: an example from the Amazon region.
Comparing model output and observed data is an important step for assessing model performance and quality of simulation results. However, such comparisons are often hampered by differences in spatial scales between local point observations and large-scale simulations of grid cells or pixels. In this...

Development of an automated GIS tool for reproducing the HAND terrain model.
Height Above the Nearest Drainage (HAND), a state-of-the-art topo-hydrological index, has been increasingly used in geo-environmental studies. It describes the local normalized drainage potential of a large region. To date, a trial and error and cumbersome multistep process has been used to obtain t...

Interactive effects of climate change and biodiversity loss on ecosystem functioning.
Climate change and biodiversity loss are expected to simultaneously affect ecosystems, however research on how each driver mediates the effect of the other has been limited in scope. The multiple stressor framework emphasizes non-additive effects, but biodiversity may also buffer the effects of clim...

Biodiversity research still falls short of creating links with ecosystem services and human well-being in a global hotspot.
Understanding the links between biodiversity, ecosystem services (ES) and human well-being (HWB) is a prerequisite for furthering the agenda of several multilateral environmental agreements and global goals. We performed a systematic review to discuss the extent to which biodiversity research has ad...
