Köppen's climate classification map for Brazil
Clayton Alcarde Alvares,José Luiz Stape,Paulo Cesar Sentelhas,José Leonardo de Moraes Gonçalves,Gerd Sparovek +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a geographical information system to identify Koppen's climate types based on monthly temperature and rainfall data from 2,950 weather stations in Brazil, and the results are presented as maps, graphs, diagrams and tables, allowing users to interpret the occurrence of climate types in Brazil.

Changes in planted forests and future global implications
T. W. Payn,Jean-Michel Carnus,Peter Freer-Smith,Mark O. Kimberley,Walter Kollert,Shirong Liu,Christophe Orazio,Luiz Carlos Estraviz Rodriguez,Luis Neves Silva,Michael J. Wingfield +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on an analysis of planted forests data from the 2015 Forests Resources Assessment of the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization (FRA 2015) and suggest that climate impacts, especially from extreme climatic events will affect planted forests in the future and that forest health impacts can also be expected to increase.

TL;DR: The old‐growth grassland concept, the novel ecosystem concept, and theory regarding tree cover along resource gradients in savannas are drawn on to propose a conceptual framework that classifies tropical grasslands into three broad ecosystem states.

TL;DR: The use of crop residues as a bioenergy feedstock is considered a potential strategy to mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions However, indiscriminate harvesting of crop residue can induce deleterious effects on soil functioning, plant growth and other ecosystem services as discussed by the authors.

The interactions of climate, spacing and genetics on clonal Eucalyptus plantations across Brazil and Uruguay
Dan Binkley,Dan Binkley,Otávio Camargo Campoe,Otávio Camargo Campoe,Clayton Alcarde Alvares,Rafaela Lorenzato Carneiro,Ítalo Ramos Cegatta,José Luiz Stape,José Luiz Stape +8 more
TL;DR: The TECHS Project examines productivity at 36 locations across a 3500 km gradient from Brazil to Uruguay, testing the interacting influences of genetics, temperature and precipitation on stemwood production.

A generalised model of forest productivity using simplified concepts of radiation-use efficiency, carbon balance and partitioning
Joe Landsberg,Richard H. Waring +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a stand growth model, called 3-PG (Use of Physiological Principles in Predicting Growth), calculates total carbon fixed (gross primary production; PG) from utilizable, absorbed photosynthetically active radiation (φp.a.u.), obtained by correcting the photosyntically active radiation absorbed by the forest canopy for the effects of soil drought, atmospheric vapour pressure deficits and stand age.
