Eucalyptus production at the Paraíba do Sul river basin, in the Southern region of Brazil, is becoming an alternative for smallholders and medium farmers which aim to provide raw materials to paper and cellulose-industry companies. The land use and land cover pattern at the Vale do Paraíba region is undergoing changes, and the eucalyptus silviculture occupies an ever-increasing space over other agro-ecosystems, especially over pastures. GeoVale proposes a technical and scientific assessment o ...Status: Completed Start date: Wed Jan 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2014 |
| This component project Is linked to the project "Simulation of Agricultural Future Scenarios from the Regional Climate Change Projections" and uses a transversal and complimentary approach to other component projects, developing economic analysis for current and future sceneries of grain, oilseed, root, fruit, forest and forage cultures. The economic impacts will be evaluated in sector levels, regarding the primary production of various cultures, and detecting the vulnerabilities and necessities ...

| The changes in climate behavior will probably bring changes to the hydrological cycle. As a result, these variations will probably affect crop development, crop production, and water consumption. Status: Completed Start date: Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2013 |
| The project "An Integration of Mitigation and Adaptation Options for Sustainable Livestock Production under Climate Change", known as AnimalChange, is focused on research about mitigation and adaptation options aimed at the sustainable development of animal production in Europe, North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America. The program's specific goals are as follows: quantifying and reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from livestock systems; assessing the impacts, adaptation and vulne ...

| The spittlebug, Mahanarva spectabilis, causes two types of injury to forage crops. The nymphs constantly suck the sap, causing the whole plant to yellow. The other type of damage is caused by the adult spittlebug, which feeds on shoot, leaves and sprouts, causing a phytotoxic response that varies among grass species used in pastures. Given the impact of this insect on forage crops, it is important to understand how global changes may influence its ecology and thus assess whether future i ...

| This project proposes the morphological and physico-chemical analysis of Brazil nut trees, in addition to the study of their diversity, intrapopulation spatial genetic structure, reproductive system, and patterns of seed and pollen dispersal in natural populations located in the Brazilian states of Mato Grosso and Acre. Furthermore, abiotic aspects such as weather variables and soil fertility and structure will be monitored, and there will be a survey on the constitution of the historical ethnob Status: Completed Start date: Sat Oct 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2011 |

Agriculture is one of the economic sectors that are most heavily influenced by the climate and meteorological conditions: from sowing to harvest, various agricultural activities are promoted depending on the weather. Thus previous knowledge of such conditions through the daily monitoring and use of weather forecast information is an essential tool for agriculture. One of the ways to get weather information to support the timely decision-making of farmers is through agrometeorological monitor ...Status: Completed Start date: Sat Sep 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2012 |

Amazalert was an international research project coordinated by the Alterra Institute at Wageningen University (Netherlands). Embrapa participated in the development of an Early Warning System for detecting signs of large-scale degradation of the Amazon forest, to anticipate impacts caused by climate change and deforestation. The team of scientists featured researchers from 14 research institutions in the United Kingdom, France, Belgium, Austria, Germany, Bolivia and Colombia. Multidisciplinar ...Status: Completed Start date: Sat Oct 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2011 |
| The cultures of castor oil plant, sunflower, cotton, orange, yuca and sugarcane have great importance in many regions of Brazil, and also represent a substantial part of the country's agricultural gross domestic product (GDP). They are cultures that, in most cases, occupy a considerable territorial extension with uniform surfaces, a fact which might cause them to suffer accentuated impacts of the global climate change, and subsequently cause ripple effects in food safety and other important sect Status: Completed Start date: Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2009 |
