The Sustainable Agriculture Matrix (SAM) consortium will be a transdisciplinary and transnational network to guide pathways for sustainable agriculture by co-developing an indicator system and associated products that 1) measure agriculture sustainability from environmental, social, and economic dimensions and improve the accountability of countries' commitment to sustainable agriculture;…
Sugarcane ethanol is an alcohol-based renewable biofuel produced by the fermentation of sugarcane extract and molasses, and Brazil is the world's largest producer of it. Brazil is also the largest producer of sugar; hence, sugarcane agriculture in the country is quite extensive, covering an area of about 10 million ha of arable land and ranking as the third largest crop after corn and soy…

The mobility project we propose under this Call has three main aims: (I) briefly review the main topics on tropical ecosystem functioning and the provision of services under environmental change, (II) identify critical gaps of knowledge and (III) submit a grant proposal to collect field data in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil that will answer these questions. The first meeting will take pla…
The Atlantic Rainforest occurs along the Brazilian coast, and because of its extension and large latitudinal range, it is characterized by one of the highest biodiversity of the world. The remaining area of the Atlantic forest is reduced to small fragments due to the highest population density living in its domain and replacement by agricultural fields. This is especially true in the Nort…

The sustainability of livestock production requires the intensification of grazing land, but for the decision of how, when and where this intensification should take place depends on the information as to the characterization of forage mass and their effects on variables related to sustainable livestock production developed in Brazil. The goal of this project is to compare at the same tim…

This research work hypothesizes that the conversion of pasturelands to sugarcane fields and the intensification in pastureland management can change the dynamics of P pools, P speciation and the size and type of organic pools in the soil over time. Also, vinasse as an organic residue, can improve the efficiency of soil and fertilizer P used in sugarcane cultivation, by (a) acting as a P s…

Land use changes, especially those which disturb the soil and alter redox reactions, affect directly the phosphorus (P) dynamics and lability for plant uptake in the soil through changes in P losses via runoff or leaching and by changing the proportions of P accumulated in more recalcitrant pools. Since P is highly limited in tropical soils, turnover of organic P and the rapid recycling o…
Anthropic activities cause the increase of pollutants concentrations in the environment. These can interfere in energy and nutrient flow and, consequently, endanger aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Metal pollutants have been caused great concern due to their environmental persistence, toxicity and incorporation capacity in food webs. Mining is an important economic activity in the worl…
The plant litter decomposition is one of the key factors in the study about ecosystems functioning, because it is intrinsically related to nutrients cycling and biogeochemistry cycles which affect the climate, the dynamic of soil organic matter content among other essential factors important to the plant community maintenance in terrestrials environment. The decomposition in tropical fore…
