  • Improving estimations of GHG emissions and removals from land use change and forests in Brazil

    Open AccessBarbara Zimbres, Julia Z Shimbo et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2024

    Brazil ranks fifth in greenhouse gas emissions globally due to land use change. As a signatory to the Paris Agreement, Brazil must periodically report its GHG emissions as well as present mitigation targets set in the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC). The SEEG Brazil Initiative (Greenhouse Gas Emission and Removal Estimating System) generates independent estimates of GHG emissions and removals since 2013, and in 2020, the estimation metho…

  • Far-right political forces in Brazil may push the Amazon to a tipping point

    Open AccessGustavo Rodrigues Canale, Marco Antonio Mitidiero Junior et al.ARTICLERevista Campo-Território2024Citada por: 1

    The spatial distribution of votes for the 2022's presidential election in Brazil overlaid with the range of the Brazilian biomes indicated a political division within these ecoregions. A high number of supporters to the far-right concentrated in the southern Amazon, while a concentration of votes for the center-left wing was observed in the most pristine region of the Brazilian Amazon and also in the Caatinga biome. In the Legal Amazon, there was…

  • Disentangling the numbers behind agriculture-driven tropical deforestation

    Open AccessFlorence Pendrill, Toby Gardner et al.ARTICLEScience2022

    Tropical deforestation continues at alarming rates with profound impacts on ecosystems, climate, and livelihoods, prompting renewed commitments to halt its continuation. Although it is well established that agriculture is a dominant driver of deforestation, rates and mechanisms remain disputed and often lack a clear evidence base. We synthesize the best available pantropical evidence to provide clarity on how agriculture drives deforestation. Alt…

  • Unmasking the impunity of illegal deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon

    Open AccessMarcondes Geraldo Coelho Junior, Marcondes G Coelho-Junior et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2022

    Amazon deforestation has been growing since 2012 and more recently under record rates. In fact, a new wave of rainforest destruction is on, challenging environmental agencies and policymakers. Political negligence has boosted deforestation in the Amazon, when coupled with deforestation drives that we already know about, as well as exempting environmental offenders and clearing the way to major infrastructure projects, in addition to weakening env…

  • Reconstructing Three Decades of Land Use and Land Cover Changes in Brazilian Biomes with Landsat Archive and Earth Engine

    Open AccessCarlos Moreira De Souza Júnior, Julia Z Shimbo et al.ARTICLERemote Sensing2020

    Brazil has a monitoring system to track annual forest conversion in the Amazon and most recently to monitor the Cerrado biome. However, there is still a gap of annual land use and land cover (LULC) information in all Brazilian biomes in the country. Existing countrywide efforts to map land use and land cover lack regularly updates and high spatial resolution time-series data to better understand historical land use and land cover dynamics, and th…
