Terrain descriptors for landscape synthesis, analysis and simulation

open access: yesComputer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Synthetic landscape generation is an active research area within Computer Graphics. Algorithms for terrain synthesis and ecosystem simulations often rely on simple descriptors such as slope, light accessibility, and drainage area. Typically, the results are assessed from a perceptual standpoint, focusing primarily on visual plausibility. Other

Modeling nature‐based restoration potential across aquatic–terrestrial boundaries

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Today, few watersheds remain untouched by global change processes arising from climate warming, impoundments, channelization, water extraction, pollution, and urbanization. The need for restoration has resulted in a myriad of interventions, generally performed at small scales, which have limited measurable impact in restoring biodiversity and

Expansion of fluvial transport of commodities through the Pantanal floodplains of Brazil: Potential impacts and interference by climate change

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Inland waterways have historically been viewed as a desirable means for transporting commodities. However, creating and maintaining navigable river channels can entail substantial geomorphological modifications, resulting in changes to the ecohydrology of a river and its adjacent floodplains.

Eight basic principles for the elaboration of public policies and development projects for the Pantanal

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
The Pantanal is facing the challenge of preparing public policies at federal and state levels, but there is the need of a conceptual basis to support this process. This article prepared a list of eight main principles to be considered by legislators and decision‐makers, aiming to ensure proper protection and management strategies provided by the public
