Evapotranspiration Behavior of Eucalyptus Plantations Compared to Other Land Uses and Land Covers in the Semiarid Zone of Brazil – South America
Water consumption by evapotranspiration (ET) of eucalyptus plantations is a concern widely addressed worldwide. However, in the semiarid region of Brazil, a region characterized by recurring water deficit, there is a gap in the knowledge on the effects of eucalyptus plantations on ET dynamics. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the ET rates of eucalyptus to native forests, savannas (Cerrado), dry woodlands (caatingas), pastures, and croplands…
Land-cover changes and drivers of palm swamp degradation in southeastern Brazil from 1984 to 2018
Estimates of deforestation avoided by protected areas
The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of the creation of protected areas (PAs) to avoid deforestation using Matching methods, focusing on the north of the Minas Gerais state, Brazil. Using GIS (Geographic Information System) techniques, we randomly distributed several 3 ha plots across the study region. The deforestation rates in plots inside and outside PAs were compared using Matching analysis. Our results indicate that the PAs creat…
Land use policies and deforestation in Brazilian tropical dry forests between 2000 and 2015
Tropical Dry Forests (TDFs) have been broadly converted into pastures and crops, with direct consequences to biodiversity, ecosystem services, and social welfare. Such land use and cover changes (LUCC) usually are strongly influenced by government environmental and development policies. The present study aimed at analyzing LUCC in Brazilian TDFs between 2000 and 2015, using the north of Minas Gerais state (128 000 km ^2 ) as a case study. We eval…
Protected areas and territorial exclusion of traditional communities
Anaya, F. C., and M. M. Espírito-Santo. 2018. Protected areas and territorial exclusion of traditional communities: analyzing the social impacts of environmental compensation strategies in Brazil. Ecology and Society 23(1):8. https://doi.org/10.5751/ES-09850-230108
Comparing Modis and near-surface vegetation indexes for monitoring tropical dry forest phenology along a successional gradient using optical phenology towers
Tropical dry forests (TDFs) present strong seasonal greenness signals ideal for tracking phenology and primary productivity using remote sensing techniques. The tightly synchronized relationship these ecosystems have with water availability offer a valuable natural experiment for observing the complex interactions between the atmosphere and the biosphere in the tropics. To investigate how well the MODIS vegetation indices (normalized difference v…
Biomass resilience of Neotropical secondary forests
Carbon sequestration potential of second-growth forest regeneration in the Latin American tropics
Models reveal the high carbon mitigation potential of tropical forest regeneration.
