Abstract The Brazilian Cerrado, one of the most threatened biomes our planet, illustrates challenges and opportunities reconciling economic development with conservation land water ecosystems. Here, we assess state art present new information on impacts agricultural expansion, dams, use, make recommendations for basin management, conservation, restoration water‐related Cerrado ecosystems rivers. requires not only preservation remnants its vegetation but also ability to keep...
Hydropower dams are touted as one of the cleanest forms energy production, yet they associated with severe environmental impacts on both physical structure and functioning river ecosystems. The threat is particularly acute in Brazilian Cerrado—a biodiverse savanna region, spanning over 2 million km2, that concentrates headwaters several critical South American watersheds. Our study analyzed current distribution large small hydroelectric plants Cerrado focused understanding their effect land...
Considered a conservation hotspot of the world biodiversity and key region for agriculture production in Brazil, Cerrado biome has only 7.5% its native vegetation as fully protected areas. Given this, 2016 Brazilian government started an official project to monitoring deforestation biome, through so-called PRODES-Cerrado, responsible mapping deforested areas from 2000 on, DETER-Cerrado, generate alerts. Seeking contribute with both context information confidence levels polygons produced by...
Abstract Brazil is one of the largest food producers in world, a leading role that prompted profound process anthropization itslandscapes. Knowing dynamics and dimension these transformations essential for more efficient sustainable useof country’s natural resources. Thus, this study we present, based on an unprecedented sample design interpretationof 85,152 points Landsat images, area estimates main land cover use classes Brazil, as wellas their annual transitions, from 1985 to 2018.
