A multicriteria evaluation approach to set forest restoration priorities based on water ecosystem services.
TL;DR: In this article, a decision-making support model for agricultural watersheds (in the Atlantic Forest region), based on mixed approaches, that were multicriteria evaluation (MCE) and participatory technique, was developed to help decision-makers and stakeholders to set priorities for payment for ecosystem services programs implementation.

Deciphering the many maps of the Xingu River Basin – an assessment of land cover classifications at multiple scales
Margaret Kalacska,J. Pablo Arroyo-Mora,Oliver Lucanus,Leandro M. Sousa,Tatiana da Silva Pereira,Thiago Bernardi Vieira +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compare forest cover and surface water estimates over four time periods spanning three decades (1989-2018) for ∼1.3 million km2 encompassing the Xingu River Basin, Brazil, from published, freely accessible remotely sensed land cover classifications.

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.
