Expanding the Soy Moratorium to Cerrado biome would prevent direct conversion of 3.6 million ha intact soy.
The role of improving the enforcement Brazil's Forest Code in reducing deforestation Amazon has been highlighted many studies. However, a context strong political pressure for loosening environmental protections, future impacts nationwide implementation on both environment and agriculture remain poorly understood. Here, we present spatially explicit assessment 2012 through year 2050; specifically, use partial equilibrium economic model that provides globally consistent national modeling...
The development of analytical software for big Earth observation data faces several challenges. Designers need to balance between conflicting factors. Solutions that are efficient specific hardware architectures can not be used in other environments. Packages work on generic and open standards will have the same performance as dedicated solutions. Software assumes its users computer programmers flexible but may difficult learn a wide audience. This paper describes sits, an open-source R...
Tropical forests regulate the global water and carbon cycles also host most of world’s biodiversity. Despite their importance, they are hard to survey due location, extent, particularly, cloud coverage. Clouds hinder spatial radiometric correction satellite imagery diminishing useful area on each image, making it difficult monitor land change. For this reason, our purpose is identify detection algorithm best suited for Amazon rainforest Sentinel–2 images. To achieve this, we tested four...
Abstract This study examines how land tenure constrains Brazil’s ability to meet its deforestation control and forest restoration goals in Amazonia biome. Our findings are based on an updated assessment of use the region. Between 2019 2021, 44% occurred private lands, while removal settlements ranged from 31% 27% total. Deforestation undesignated public lands increased 11% 2008 18% 2021. is highly concentrated, with 1% properties accounting for 82.5% cuts In Amazonia, there considerable...
Abstract This paper presents a dataset of yearly land use and cover classification maps for Mato Grosso State, Brazil, from 2001 to 2017. is one the world’s fast moving agricultural frontiers. To ensure multi-year compatibility, work uses MODIS sensor analysis-ready products an innovative method that applies machine learning techniques classify satellite image time series. The provide information about crop pasture expansion over natural vegetation, as well spatially explicit estimates...
Most of the world's nations (around 130) have committed to reaching net-zero carbon dioxide or greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050, yet robust policies rarely underpin these ambitions. To investigate whether existing and expected national will allow Brazil meet its GHG pledge we applied a detailed regional integrated assessment modelling approach. This included quantifying role nature-based solutions, such as protection restoration ecosystems, engineered bioenergy with capture storage....
In 2019, the official delimitation of Brazilian biomes was updated to a considerably more detailed description compared previous definition that lasted 15 years. This work investigates possible effects such changes in different political-administrative scales, ranging from municipality level. We define effect levels according between each scale, indicating areas subject newest version biomes. Depending on scale study, might have significant effects, mainly Pampa biome, Piauí, São Paulo,...
Land use and land cover maps (LULC) are abstractions of the physical space a chosen region. Comparison LULC is essential to understand landscape dynamics, alteration patterns, environmental implications. This article has objective propose an algorithm for harmonizing based on spatial distribution their classes applies it in case study harmonize Brazil’s National Inventory Anthropogenic Emissions by Sources Removals Greenhouse Gases (Fourth Version) MapBiomas (Collection 7) classes.

Understanding the cost-effectiveness of restoration initiatives is critical for their successful implementation. In this context, study presents a new approach to investigating different forest landscape strategies achieving multiple goals. The based on an optimization model that allocates maximize three environmental benefits (biodiversity conservation, carbon stock increase, and soil loss reduction) while minimizing cost. We explore scenarios Brazilian Forest Code National Policy Payment...
A geração dos resíduos sólidos urbanos (RSU) no Brasil vem aumentando ao longo do tempo, com alterações na qualidade resíduo, o que levanta discussões a respeito gerenciamento e da importância em se destinar estes adequadamente. Atualmente as questões envolvem gestão RSU têm enfoque central cumprimento de políticas públicas. partir implementação efetiva Política Nacional Resíduos Sólidos (PNRS) - lei nº 12.305/2010 é esperam mudanças panorama Brasil. Por conta disso, este trabalho faz um...
The 2030 Agenda framework represents an opportunity for the co-development of local indicators and shares same principles cross-sectoral integration universality as water–energy–food nexus. This research aimed to develop a quantitative-collaborative methodology constructing indexes sustainability Cerrado Caatinga Brazilian biomes, considering connection synergies between Nexus perspective Agenda’s SDG–target framework. study was applied in 2,512 municipalities that make up total mentioned...
The proper management of solid waste (SW) is a global environmental challenge. A major issue the disposal SW while balancing wide range criteria and working with different spatial data. In this study, we used geographic information system as tool to perform multi-criteria decision analysis an analytical hierarchy process develop impact susceptibility model (EISM) for landfills. The was applied state California, USA results are presented herein. particular, EISM considers factors such...
The proper disposal of municipal solid waste (MSW) is a global challenge, mainly in developing countries. objective this paper to review recent improvements and remaining challenges (MSWD) Brazil focusing on the environmental impacts caused by inappropriate MSW. Before implementation Brazilian Solid Waste Policy (BSWP), 2008, 72.3% all municipalities disposed their MSW open dumps uncontrolled landfills. In 2015, after deadline given BSWP close landfills had expired, 60% still dispose...
The large excess of solid waste generated in cities is a result population growth and economic development. Properly managing this municipal (MSW) challenge, mainly underdeveloped developing countries where financial concerns are an added problem. From the environmental point view, major issue properly disposing MSW taking into consideration wide range factors, working with different spatial data. In study, we used geographic information system (GIS) to perform multi-criteria decision...

Abstract In Brazil, conservation priority zones, in spite of their key role preserving natural vegetation and its environmental resources are frequently located outside the country’s public network protected areas (PAs). Here we present first study on land-use impacts inside Brazil’s unprotected (i.e. PAs) Cost-Effective Zones (CEZs), for period 2020–2050. CEZs zones that had experienced low levels human impact 2020. this study, consider various governance scenarios, including different...
