A agricultura é um dos setores mais vulneráveis às mudanças climáticas, devido à dependência intrínseca dos fatores climáticos e recursos naturais, principalmente os agricultores familiares. Os impactos das mudanças climáticas podem ser minimizados por meio de medidas de adaptação adotadas, que devem ser adequadas ao contexto da região. O objetivo ...
Forests function as carbon reservoirs since they act in its sequestration and storage, playing a fundamental role in global climate change mitigation. Payments for this kind of environmental service have emerged as an important means for combating deforestation. This study evaluated the potential of a Sedimentary Basin Humid Forest refuge in a Semi...
Risk analysis of climate change on the spatial distribution of sugarcane orange rust (Puccinia kuehnii) is a strategic study for plant protection tominimize future damages. The objective of this work was to evaluate the potential risk of the occurrence of orange rust in Argentina and Brazil under the climate change scenarios. A mapping methodology ...
Rising emissions of anthropogenic greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrous oxide (N2O) and methane (CH4) are a key driver of climate change, which is predicted to have myriad detrimental consequences in coming years if not kept in check. Given the potency of CH4 in terms of trapping heat in the atmosphere in the short term, as well as...
Climate change already challenges people?s livelihood globally and it also affects plant health. Rising temperatures facilitate the introduction and establishment of unwanted organisms, including arthropods, pathogens, and weeds (hereafter collectively called pests). For example, a single, unusually warm winter under temperate climatic conditions m...
Studies related to climate change and agricultural value chains have in common the growing concern on conserving water resources. Thus, the concept of the water footprint stands out, which measures the amount of water (in volume) necessary to produce a unit (in mass) of a given product. Among Brazilian agricultural activities, coffee farming emerge...
Resumo: As mudanças climáticas globais exercem diferentes efeitos negativos ao redor do mundo, e a seca extrema de 2019-2021 observada no Pantanal parece derivar desses efeitos. Espécies aquáticas e semiaquáticas ocorrem em abundância no Pantanal, devido à grande oferta de ambientes sazonalmente inundáveis. O jacaré-do-pantanal, Caiman yacare, que ...
ABSTRACT. Stryphnodendron pulcherrimum is a species used medicinally among traditional Amazonian communities for its bactericidal activity and anti-inflammatory properties. Despite being adapted to rustic environments, there is no information regarding how climate change might affect the species occurrence. The present study aimed to evaluate the n...
ABSTRACT. Urena lobata L. is a commercial species used for fiber extraction in the Brazilian states of Amazonas and Pará that presents relevant socioeconomic importance for the Amazon region. Despite its importance and wide distribution throughout Brazil, there are no data on the species response to global climate change. This study aimed to presen...
Soil salinization and sodification, caused by inadequate land management, is one of the main threats to the semiarid agroecosystems. It is essential to investigate saline levels under different land-use conditions to maintain the sustainability of agricultural production. The main objective of this study was to diagnose the salinity status of the s...
