Actions to mitigate global warming and consequent climate change are centred on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and increasing the capture and sequestration of atmospheric CO2. In this context, the agricultural and forestry sectors stand out, as they are able to act on both these fronts, particularly in capturing atmospheric CO2 via photosynthesis, and sequestering it in vegetation and …
Brazil is one of the world's largest producers and exporters of food, feed, fiber and (bio)fuel. Estimates indicated that the country would need to increase food production in 40% to meet global demands by 2050. Meanwhile, tropical agricultural systems have to be important allies to sequester carbon (C) and reduce greenhouse gases emission, and consequently, contribute to mitigating clima…
The FAPESP - Shell Research Centre for Greenhouse Gas Innovation aims to be a world-class Centre for advanced studies with a focus on innovation towards sustainability and mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions. The Centre complements Fapesp's experiences in supporting high-level scientific research and technology development towards these fields. It aims to establish a world-class Centre…
Soil is natural capital that performs multiple functions and provides essential ecosystem services to people. Therefore, to assess the effects of agriculture expansion and intensification on "Soil Ecosystem Services" (i.e., flux of benefits people obtain from soil) is an emergent, strategic and priority research topic towards sustainable development in the next decades. In Brazil, it is a…
Dryland degradation creates hardships for millions of people worldwide. Brazilian drylands are characterized by extensive land use changes to subsistence agriculture, leading to soil degradation and desertification. Desertification leads to soil health (SH) degradation, but several regenerative practices (e.g., grazing exclusion, cover crops, reforestation), may stop and even revert this …

Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions from tropical soils primarily result from nitrification due to their well-aerated nature. The rate of N2O production during ammonium oxidation depends on the diversity and structure of the AOB and AOA communities. While AOBs generally produce more N2O relative to nitrate compared to AOA and comammox, AOA may dominate emissions in soils with higher organic mat…

Land use change and soil organic matter (SOM) loss in agricultural areas are the activities that most contribute to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Brazil. In this sense, the adoption of management practices that reduce GHG emissions, such as integrated agricultural systems (IAS), is fundamental to mitigating climate change and ensuring sustainable agricultural development. However, alt…
The increase in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions induced by intensified anthropogenic activities, and the consequent global warming, has caused climate changes in all regions of the world. In Brazil, deforestation for land use change and the agriculture sector are the main sources of GHG emissions. Mitigating climate change involves reducing GHG emissions and removing atmospheric carbon (CO…
Mitigating climate changes and combating food insecurity are the main challenges for the humankind in the next decades. In Brazil, land use change and agricultural activities are the main source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and therefore, the adoption of best management practices that increase soil carbon (C) stocks (CO2 removal) and reduce GHG emissions is the foundation for design…

Soil plays a crucial function in providing essential environmental benefits and services for human well-being and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. However, approximately 40% of global soils are currently degraded, posing significant challenges to crop production and food security. Soil health encompasses the continuous capacity of soil as a living ecosystem to maintain environ…
In Brazil, land use change and the agricultural sector are responsible for more than 70% of greenhouse gas emissions. Climate change is increasing the frequency of droughts, which, combined with altering precipitation patterns, compromises agricultural production in drylands. In this sense, adopting agricultural management practices that increase the potential for carbon (C) sequestration…
Mitigating climate changes and combating food insecurity are the main challenges for the humankind in the next decades. In Brazil, land use change and agricultural activities are the main source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and therefore, the adoption of best management practices that increase soil carbon (SOC) stocks and reduce GHG emissions is the foundation for designing more sus…

The increasing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions induced by the intensification of human activities, and the consequent global warming, has caused climate change in all regions of the world. Mitigation of climate change therefore involves reducing GHG emissions and removing atmospheric C (CO2). To evaluate different strategies for mitigating GHG emissions, the use of element mass balances is…
The environmental impacts of land use change (LUC) caused by conversion of native vegetation and pasturelands to sugarcane have generated numerous questions regarding the environmental sustainability of Brazilian ethanol production. In response, soil quality (SQ) has been identified as a key indicator to quantify those impacts. The primary objective for this research internship abroad, wh…
