Climate-related hazards, more specifically droughts, floods and storms, cause the largest
share of people affected by disasters and major economic losses. While social and …

Habitat degradation leads to biodiversity loss and concomitant changes in ecosystem
processes. Tropical river floodplains are highly threatened by land cover changes and …

Studies of land use/cover change (LUCC) and its impact on ecosystem service (ES) in
monetary units can provide information that governments can use to identify where …

Land-cover change often shifts the distribution of biomass in animal communities. However,
the effects of land-cover changes on functional diversity remain poorly understood for many …

Variations of willingness to pay (WTP) in geographical space have been characterised by
the presence of localised patches of higher and lower values. However, to date, spatial …

Forests in the humid tropics contribute to a wide range of globally demanded forest
ecosystem services (FES) and are also beneficial to local communities, which are often …

Land cover is an important driver of patterns of fish diversity and assemblage structure in
Amazonian floodplains. In the floodplain of the Amazon River, remarkable changes in the …

Land cover changes (LCC) affect the water balance (WB), changing surface runoff (SurfQ),
evapotranspiration (ET), groundwater (GW) regimes, and streamflow (Q). The Tapajós Basin …

Floodplains comprise a complex mosaic of seasonally-flooded forests, lakes and channels
that support productive fisheries. These habitats and their fish populations are increasingly …

Remote sensing imagery are fundamental to increasing the knowledge about sediment
dynamics in the middle-lower Amazon floodplains. Moreover, they can help to understand …
