Linkages between soybean and neotropical deforestation: Coupling and transient decoupling dynamics in a multi-decadal analysis
(Elsevier, 2013-12)
Soybean expansion, driven by growing global meat demand, has accompanied neotropical deforestation in past decades. A recent decoupling between soybean production and deforestation in Brazil is taken as evidence of efficient ...
Impacts of the deforestation driven by agribusiness on urban population and economic activity in the Dry Chaco of Argentina
(Taylor & Francis, 2016-09)
Agriculture expansion oriented to global market has changed the relation between population and deforestation in South America. Actually, the population dynamic in an agricultural frontier turned into a consequence of ...
Using indicators of deforestation and land-use dynamics to support conservation strategies: A case study of central Rondonia, Brazil
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2009)
In Rondonia State, Brazil, settlement processes have cleared 68,000 km 2 of tropical forests since the 1970s. The intensity of deforestation has differed by region depending on driving factors like roads and economic ...
Functional differentiation between fish assemblages from forested and deforested streams
(2015-01-01)
We tested the hypothesis that streams in deforested areas shelter different fish communities to nearby forested areas, and that these disparities are due to environmental parameters that limit or benefit different species ...
Is aridity restricting deforestation and land uses in the South American Dry Chaco?
(Taylor & Francis, 2016-07)
In this paper, we explored how aridity influences the regional deforestation and land-use patterns (i.e. crops/pastures) in South American Dry Chaco. To do this, we contrasted land use during last decade (2001–2012) with ...
Deforestation Induced Climate Change: Effects of Spatial Scale
(Public Library Science, 2016-04-21)
Deforestation is associated with increased atmospheric CO2 and alterations to the surface energy and mass balances that can lead to local and global climate changes. Previous modelling studies show that the global surface ...
Modeling the spatial and temporal heterogeneity of deforestation-driven carbon emissions: the INPE-EM framework applied to the Brazilian Amazon
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2012-11-01)
We present a generic spatially explicit modeling framework to estimate carbon emissions from deforestation (INPE-EM). The framework incorporates the temporal dynamics related to the deforestation process and accounts for ...
Can the Deforestation Breeze Change the Rainfall in Amazonia? A Case Study for the BR-163 Highway Region
(AMER METEOROLOGICAL SOC, 2010)
The authors simulated the effects of Amazonian mesoscale deforestation in the boundary layer and in rainfall with the Brazilian Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (BRAMS) model. They found that both the area and shape ...
Stream fish from recently deforested basins in the Meridional Amazon, Mato Grosso, Brazil
(Revista Biota Neotropica, 2020-01-01)
The replacement of tropical forests to production systems is one of the leading causes of riverine ecosystem alterations. However, current assemblages' composition may also result from the time since these transformations ...
