Forest systems are part of an important land-use strategy aimed at the maintenance of biodiversity, at the commercialization of wood products and other products, at quality of life and at environmental services such as carbon fixation. The greenhouse gas emission flows and the carbon stocked in the forests are indispensable information, and their estimation may support public policies on development and sustainability. Project GeoSaltus focuses on the use of geotechnologies for the developmen ...Status: Completed Start date: Fri Jun 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2012 |
| The project aims to estimate carbon balance in different grain production system scenarios in the major Brazilian biomes, ranking those that reduce the consequences of climate change, via computational simulators. The information generated in this project will be used in the project "Classification and spatialization of grain production systems with the use of remote sensing", aiming to produce regional estimates of the carbon balance and GHG emissions for Brazil's entire grain production area. ...

| There is currently a strong interest to comprehend, evaluate and minimize anthropic impacts on hydric resources. It has been particularly studied the effect of removing native vegetal covering over water availability and quality. In order to estimate the effects of changing vegetal covering over hydric resources, hydrologic modeling becomes an adequate tool. However, hydrologic models need great amounts of information, which in most times are unavailable. On the other hand, data obtained through Status: Completed Start date: Wed Sep 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2010 |
| The project aims at assessing methods and innovative techniques in the area of Remote Sensing and spatial data integration for detection in cultivation practices and production systems, especially integrated crop-livestock-forestry systems (ICLFs) and variations, which constitute one of the key points of the low carbon agriculture policy.

The intense world demand for food together with environmental issues related to the sustainable use of natural resources draw a picture of search for the maximum efficiency in agricultural productivity, which involves greater efficiency in monitoring crop areas. Analytical tools capable of encompassing sample variation and territorial reach demand high costs for their operation and for the replication of results. Remote sensing has proved a very efficient tool for mapping/monitoring agricultu ...Status: Completed Start date: Thu Sep 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2011 |
| Brazilian dairy farming is distributed throughout the national territory, generates thousands of direct and indirect jobs and has a significant participation in the gross domestic product (GDP). The annual national milk production is estimated at more than 30 billion liters, according to the IBGE (Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics), being concentrated in the Southeast, South and Midwest regions. The following mesoregions concentrate more than 40% of Brazilian milk production: Noroe Status: Completed Start date: Wed May 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2019 |
| The Extractive Reserve (Resex) "Forever Green" was created in 2004, in an area of 1,288,717 hectares in Porto de Moz- PA. The families that live in this reserve survive especially of artisan fishing, of subsistence agriculture and of raising domesticated buffalos. The region's income increase face the lack of technical knowledge and difficulty of direct access to the consumer market as main obstacles, point out locals. This project aims to organize and develop practices inside Resex with the int ... Status: Completed Start date: Thu Feb 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2007 |
| Soy is one of the main commodities in national agricultural production, with Brazil being the world's largest producer, with a production of 135.4 million tons, productivity 3,517 kg/ha. With a planted area of 38.5 million hectares, it is still the world's largest exporter of the grain. Among the main producing states, Mato Grosso stands out as the largest Brazilian producer of soy, with production of 35.9 million tons, planted area of 10,374,861 hectares and productivity of 3492 kg/ha.

| Eucalyptus cropping has been growing in Brazil in the last few years and has become an important alternative for rural areas. With expressive participation in the country's trade balance, it is moved by the demand for paper, cellulose, timber and evergy. Since 2009, Embrapa Satellite Monitoring has carried out research to define efficient sustainability indicators from the assessment of tree and bush flora biodiversity and faunal biodiversity, in addition to proposing forest management actions.

The Amapá state has extensive forests and savannas, which are important carbon stocks being negatively affected due to agricultural, forestry and industrial activities. Thus the project aims to develop a methodology applicable to the entire State of Amapá, aiming to reach all types of existing vegetation, being the basis for estimates of forest biomass and the quantification of carbon stocks, in addition to enabling the monitoring of changes caused on biomass due to the economic activities de ...Status: Completed Start date: Thu Dec 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2016 |
