Ecological restoration as a strategy for mitigating and adapting to climate change: lessons and challenges from Brazil
Climate change is a global phenomenon that affects biophysical systems and human well-being. The Paris Agreement of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change entered into force in 2016 with the objective of strengthening the global response to...
Effects of geomorphology and land use on stream water quality in southeastern Amazonia
Water quality in streams is determined by several factors, including geology, topography, climate, and anthropogenic changes. This study aimed to assess the effects of watershed physical, morphology, and precipitation seasonality on the water quality of two streams...
Why ‘blended finance’ could help transitions to sustainable landscapes: Lessons from the Unlocking Forest Finance project
International policy commitments highlight the importance of balancing agricultural development with conservation of tropical forest landscapes for climate change mitigation (UNFCCC, 2015), biodiversity conservation (CBD, 2010), and generally sustainable...
Effects of Tropical Deforestation on Surface Energy Balance Partitioning in Southeastern Amazonia Estimated From Maximum Convective Power
To understand changes in land surface energy balance partitioning due to tropical deforestation, we use a physically based analytical formulation of the surface energy balance. Turbulent heat fluxes are constrained by the thermodynamic maximum power limit and a...
Effects of deforestation on headwater stream fish assemblages in the Upper Xingu River Basin, Southeastern Amazonia
The expansion of the Amazonian agricultural frontier represents the most extensive land cover change in the world, detrimentally affecting stream ecosystems which collectively harbor the greatest diversity of freshwater fish on the planet. Our goal was to test the...
Land tenure regularization in the brazilian amazon: perspectives on identifying social, economic and environmental variables for assessing its impacts
Historically the control of deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon has been related to several different drivers such as law enforcement (Assunção & Rocha 2014; Schwartzman, Moutinho & Hamburg 2012); social control of supply chains - soy moratorium (Gibbs et...
