Expanding the Soy Moratorium to Brazil’s Cerrado [PDF]

Science Advances, 2019
Expanding the Soy Moratorium to the Cerrado biome would prevent the direct conversion of 3.6 million ha of intact Cerrado to soy. The Cerrado biome in Brazil is a tropical savanna and an important global biodiversity hot spot.

Soy expansion in Brazil's Cerrado [PDF]

Conservation Letters, 2019
The Cerrado biome is Brazil's breadbasket and a major provider of ecosystem services, though these dual roles are increasingly at odds, in part because there are few mechanisms to protect remaining vegetation from large‐scale agricultural expansion.

Increased climate pressure on the agricultural frontier in the Eastern Amazonia–Cerrado transition zone

Scientific Reports, 2022
Several large-scale drivers of both anthropogenic and natural environmental changes are interacting nonlinearly in the transition zone between eastern Amazonia and the adjacent Cerrado, considered to be another Brazilian agricultural frontier.

Perception of fungi by farmers in the Cerrado [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Biology, 2022
Abstract Fungi are important in several aspects of human life. In particular, to agriculture, pathogenic fungi are of great importance, as they are responsible for production losses of the most diverse types. Because of this, knowledge about pathogenic fungus is of extreme importance for farmers and professionals working in agricultural areas.

Fragmentation-Driven Divergent Trends in Burned Area in Amazonia and Cerrado

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2022
The two major Brazilian biomes, the Amazonia and the Cerrado (savanna), are increasingly exposed to fires. The Amazonian Forest is a fire sensitive ecosystem where fires are a typically rare disturbance while the Cerrado is naturally fire-dependent ...

Mapping Deforestation in Cerrado Based on Hybrid Deep Learning Architecture and Medium Spatial Resolution Satellite Time Series

Remote Sensing, 2022
Cerrado is the second largest biome in Brazil, covering about 2 million km2. This biome has experienced land use and land cover changes at high rates due to agricultural expansion so that more than 50% of its natural vegetation has already been removed ...

Changes in the Cerrado vegetation structure: insights from more than three decades of ecological succession

, 2021
. Changes in the vegetation of Brazilian Cerrado may occur over time. However, long-term dynamics are not fully understood yet, especially woody plant encroachment (WPE).

The diversity of post‐fire regeneration strategies in the cerrado ground layer

Journal of Ecology, 2020
Disentangling species strategies that confer resilience to natural disturbances is key to conserving and restoring savanna ecosystems. Fire is a recurrent disturbance in savannas, and savanna vegetation is highly adapted to and often dependent on fire ...

Agroecologia no Cerrado

Revista Brasileira de Agroecologia, 2021
A Agroecologia, a partir de princípios, conceitos e metodologias, permite estudos e desenhos de agroecossistemas para avançar em estilos de agriculturas de bases sustentáveis conforme nos ensinou Francisco Roberto Caporal (2008), um dos grandes estudiosos do tema no Brasil, que nos deixou recentemente.
