Caminhos para a recuperação florestal
The future of tropical forests depends on their ability to resist and recover from multiple disturbances. Here, we evaluated how edge effects, experimental fires, extreme droughts, and blowdowns reshaped forest structure, composition, and functional traits over two...
Surprisingly Modest Water Quality Impacts From Expansion and Intensification of Large-Sscale Commercial Agriculture in the Brazilian Amazon-Cerrado Region
Large-scale commercial cropping of soybeans expanded in the tropical Amazon and Cerrado biomes of Brazil after 1990. More recently, cropping intensified from single-cropping of soybeans to double-cropping of soybeans with corn or cotton. Cropland expansion and...
The Forests of the Amazon and Cerrado Moderate Regional Climate and Are the Key to the Future
The role of tropical forests in climate is most often expressed in terms of the carbon they keep out of the atmosphere if deforestation is avoided or the carbon they remove from the atmosphere as they grow. The direct role of forests, particularly in the tropics,...
Cartilha – Plano Estadual da Agricultura Familiar de MT
A agricultura familiar é realizada em pequenas propriedades e representa uma atividade fundamental para a produção de alimentos, geração de renda e empregos, o crescimento econômico regional e a conservação ambiental em função da relação afetiva com a terra. O Plano Estadual da Agricultura Familiar de Mato Grosso, que você vai conhecer nesta cartilha, teve a participação de cerca de 880 pessoas, vindas de 99 cidades (ou seja, 70% dos municípios de Mato Grosso).
Using a Market-Based Instrument to Strategically Prevent Legal Deforestation in Mato Grosso
The research objective of this study was to model supply and demand for CRA, by accounting for priority areas defi ned in terms of deforestation risk, carbon stock, and biodiversity importance in the Amazon biome in Mato Grosso.
Strategic reforestation of private lands in the Brazilian Amazon
We propose a protocol for strategic decision-making in the implementation of reforestation requirements in the new Forest Code. We worked with the microregion of Colíder to identify priority levels for reforestation in private lands.
Utilizando um instrumento de mercado para prevenir o desmatamento legal em Mato Grosso
Este estudo tem como objetivo modelar a oferta e a demanda das cotas de reserva ambiental (CRA), respondendo por áreas prioritárias definidas em termos de risco de desmatamento, estoque de carbono e importância da biodiversidade no bioma Amazônia no estado do Mato Grosso.
