How do climate changes influence CO2 exchanges in Brazilian biomes, the Blue Amazon, the Southwest Atlantic and Antarctic Oceans?
Science / Life Sciences
Concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2), an important greenhouse gas, have increased by 50% since the Industrial Revolution due to anthropogenic activities. In recent decades, oceans and forests have absorbed much of the anthropogenic CO2 emitted into the atmosphere. The main objective of this investigation is to determine the impact of climate change on CO2 fluxes in Brazilian biomes, the Blue Amazon, the Southwest Atlantic and the Southern Ocean. A combination of in situ, satellite and reanalysis data will be used to achieve this objective. This project will contribute to a better understanding of the role of study areas in the global carbon budget, enabling decision-making to guarantee the sustainable use of forests and oceans, thus contributing to preserving these ecosystems.
