Journal ArticleDOI
Use of remote sensing indicators to assess effects of drought and human-induced land degradation on ecosystem health in Northeastern Brazil
Denis A. Mariano,Carlos Antonio Costa dos Santos,Brian D. Wardlow,Martha C. Anderson,Allie V. Schiltmeyer,Tsegaye Tadesse,Mark Svoboda +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the Theil-Sen slope analysis on time series of MODIS LAI, albedo and ET images to detect trends in biomass [leaf area index (LAI)] anomalies as indicators of land degradation in NEB.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trends in indices for extremes in daily temperature and precipitation over Utah, USA
Carlos Antonio Costa dos Santos,Christopher M. U. Neale,Tantravahi Venkata Ramana Rao,Bernardo Barbosa da Silva +3 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyse the trends in 20 annual extreme indices of temperature and precipitation for Utah, USA, during the period from 1930 to 2006, characterized by a long-term and high-quality dataset.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of temperature on the life cycle, expansion, and dispersion of Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) in three cities in Paraiba, Brazil.
Rafael A. Marinho,Eduardo B. Beserra,Maria Avany Bezerra-Gusmão,Valbia de S. Porto,Ricardo Alves de Olinda,Carlos Antonio Costa dos Santos +5 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that Campina Grande, João Pessoa, and Patos will experience temperatures favorable to the Ae.
Journal ArticleDOI
Análise dos índices de extremos para o semi-árido do Brasil e suas relações com TSM e IVDN
TL;DR: In this article, the authors verify the tendencies of indexes of detection of climate changes, dependent of the daily precipitation, in the states of RN and PB and analyze their relationships with NDVI and anomalies of SST in the areas of Nino 1+2, Nino 3, North Tropical Atlantic Ocean (TNA) and South Tropical Atlantic ocean (TSA).
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of the Urbanisation Process in the Availability of Ecosystem Services in a Tropical Ecotone Area
Lucianna Marques Rocha Ferreira,Luciana S. Esteves,Enio Pereira de Souza,Carlos Antonio Costa dos Santos +3 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used remote sensing techniques and a geographic information system to quantify changes in land use land cover (LULC) change worldwide, often with irreparable consequences to the provision of ecosystem services.
