Resumo As áreas de reserva legal (ARLs) são parte fundamental da estratégia brasileira conservação, juntamente com as preservação permanente. ARLs destinadas à manutenção biodiversidade e podem ser manejadas forma sustentável. Quando essas abrigam ecossistemas dependentes fogo pastejo, como os campos nativos savanas, devem adotadas práticas manejo adequadas sua conservação ao enfrentamento dos efeitos das mudanças climáticas globais. No entanto, esse assunto ainda é pouco discutido no...
We monitored the number of caiman (Caiman crocodilus yacare) nests in two ranches Brazilian Pantanal that cover an area about 50.000 ha for 28 years (1987–2014). The was related to combinations rainfall, water level, and days with temperature below 20°C, depending on area. Most variation could not be predicted by environmental variables, but represented mathematically a sine wave. were able identify any external driver suspect regular fluctuations may have resulted from intrinsic population...
Abstract Legal reserve areas (LRAs) are a fundamental part of the Brazilian conservation strategy, together with permanent preservation areas. The LRAs intended to maintain biodiversity and can be managed sustainably. When these home ecosystems that depend on fire grazing, such as native grasslands savannas, management practices suitable for their dealing effects global climate change should adopted. However, this subject is still poorly discussed in Brazil, public policies not clear matter....
http://dx.doi.org/10.5902/1980509820231O objetivo deste trabalho foi comparar os índices de risco incêndios a partir focos calor e definiro mais eficiente para as condições do Pantanal Sul-mato-grossense, com base em dados meteorológicos enúmero calor. O consistiu na análise correlação entre variáveis meteorológicas ea ocorrência dos calor, bem como comparação incêndios: Angströn(B), Telicyn (I), Nesterov (G), Monte Alegre (FMA) Modificada (FMA+).

Abstract The Pantanal is considered the largest continuous freshwater wetland in world, and its sustainable use requires a unified conceptual framework. lengthy process to establish public policies has contributed increasing vulnerability of Pantanal. Given need for basis help this process, we elaborate list eight basic principles based on accumulated scientific evidence: (i) Consider Paraguay River Basin management unity; (ii) Establish rules that follow concept restricted approach; (iii)...
ABSTRACT: Beef cattle ranching is the main economic activity in Brazilian Pantanal, undertaken an extensive manner, mostly natural environments and dynamic space time. The ongoing monitoring, assessment, performance improvement are key aspects of search for sustainable use resources beef ranches, as these ranches management units Pantanal. In this paper we proposed a data envelopment analysis (DEA) approach to assess fourteen Pantanal wetland case study, considering financial, productive,...
The resurgent navigation project is known as the Hidrovia Paraguay-Paraná threatens integrity of Pantanal, world's largest wetland, which considered a biome its own. Intensive barge intended to transport crops (soybean, sugar, corn) and cement, iron manganese from areas production in Brazil, Paraguay Bolivia oceanic ports Plata River. This short communication assembles information available on potential impacts planned deepening natural channel River ~700 km-long upper section. These river...
