Patterns of land use, extensification, and intensification of Brazilian agriculture.
Lívia Cristina Pinto Dias,Fernando Martins Pimenta,Ana Terra Bravim dos Santos,Marcos Heil Costa,Richard J. Ladle,Richard J. Ladle +5 more
TL;DR: The results provide the first comprehensive historical overview of agricultural land use and productivity in Brazil, providing clear insights to guide future territorial planning, sustainable agriculture, policy, and decision-making.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dependence of hydropower energy generation on forests in the Amazon Basin at local and regional scales.
C. Stickler,Michael T. Coe,Marcos Heil Costa,Daniel C. Nepstad,David G. McGrath,David G. McGrath,Lívia Cristina Pinto Dias,Hermann Rodrigues,Britaldo Soares-Filho +8 more
TL;DR: Deforestation of the Amazon region inhibited rainfall within the Xingu Basin, counterbalancing declines in ET and decreasing discharge, and under business-as-usual projections of forest loss for 2050, simulated power generation declined to only 25% of maximum plant output and 60% of the industry’s own projections.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of land cover change on evapotranspiration and streamflow of small catchments in the Upper Xingu River Basin, Central Brazil
Lívia Cristina Pinto Dias,Marcia N. Macedo,Marcos Heil Costa,Michael T. Coe,Christopher Neill +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of land cover changes on evapotranspiration and streamflow in small catchments in the Upper Xingu River Basin (Mato Grosso state, Brazil).
Journal ArticleDOI
Feedbacks between deforestation, climate, and hydrology in the Southwestern Amazon: implications for the provision of ecosystem services
Letícia Santos de Lima,B. S. Soares Filho,Hermann Rodrigues,Michael T. Coe,Santiago Vianna Cuadra,Lívia Cristina Pinto Dias,Marcos Heil Costa,P. H. Rolfs +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the potential impacts of deforestation throughout the Amazon on the seasonal and annual water balances of these river basins using coupled climatic and hydrologic models under several deforestation scenarios.
Journal ArticleDOI
Valores de referência de qualidade para metais pesados em solos no Estado do Espírito Santo
Henrique de Sá Paye,Jaime Wilson Vargas de Mello,Walter Antônio Pereira Abrahão,Elpídio Inácio Fernandes Filho,Lívia Cristina Pinto Dias,Maria Luisa Oliveira Castro,Stefeson Bezerra de Melo,Michele Milanez França +7 more
TL;DR: The Reference Quality Values (RQV) for heavy metals in soils are quite heterogeneous around the world as discussed by the authors and the use of these values can lead to erroneous assessments, due to the regional differences in technical and environmental variables, particularly in terms of geological, water and soil conditions.
