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 restoration of pasture areas is recognized and recommended by experts and international organizations as an essential strategy for mitigating climate change. It is due to the great potential for carbon sequestration and the feasibility of other impacts on ecosystem services. Brazil has recently committed the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) to recover 15 million hectares of pa…
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…
In 2017 the Federal government created the National Biofuels Policy (Law 13.576), called RenovaBio. For its implementation and monitoring RenovaBio will need to establish (and periodically update) mandatory annual GHG emission reduction targets for the commercialization of fuels and the requirements for technical and economic regulation of the Decarbonization Credit. In this context, this…
The research aims to evaluate, through the use of mathematical modeling, the alterations in the stocks of carbon and nitrogen in the soil due to the agricultural expansion which has occurred over the last 30 years in the states of Rondônia and Mato Grosso. In addition, simulations involving future scenarios will generate information which could be useful when taking decisions on public po…
N2O emissions play a fundamental role in the process of mitigating climate change. Understanding the mechanisms that regulate N2O emissions from agricultural soils is crucial for establishing effective mitigation strategies. N2O is a potent greenhouse gas, produced mainly by the addition of nitrogen sources (synthetic and organic. Several factors, such as the addition of nitrogen and carb…
Nitrogen is an essential nutrient for life. Its cycle has undergone major changes over time due to the introduction of nitrogen fertilizers in agriculture. In the case of Brazil, in particular the state of Mato Grosso, the process of intensification of agricultural production and the change in land use stand out, reflecting an increase in the consumption of nitrogen fertilizers and replac…
New technologies and remote sensors have been used for to monitor forest restoration. To measure canopy opening, for example, it is possible to use the photosynthetic radiation sensor known as aceptometer. With this sensor, it is possible to measure the amount of photosynthetic light that is being intercepted by the canopy and reaching the understory for the regenerating individuals. The …

Anthropogenic warming of the planet is one of the greatest challenges of the 21st century. Food production, especially livestock, has contributed to the emission of greenhouse gases, which potentiate this warming. Thus, there is a strong need to reduce the environmental impact of livestock by reducing greenhouse gas emissions from this sector. One of the alternatives would be to increase …
Soil organic matter is the largest pool of carbon in the biosphere. The knowledge of soil carbon balance could help to forecast the depletion of soil carbon stocks and carbon dioxide (CO2) efflux. The soil carbon balance is directly related to the nutrients supply in the soil, mainly the nitrogen that has importance in global food production, and its impact on the environment related to a…
The intensification of human activities and the increase in the concentration of Greenhouse Gases (GHG) in the atmosphere have accentuated the process of climate change. Land-Use Change (LUC) and the consequent loss of Organic Matter (OM) from the soil in agricultural areas is seen as one of the activities with the biggest contribution to GHG emissions in Brazil. In this sense, the adopti…

The increasing demand for resources due to population growth has accentuated greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, aggravating the climate change process. In this sense, the adoption of management practices that reduce GHG emissions and increase the potential for carbon (C) sequestration in the soil is essential to tackle the climate change process, in addition to contributing to a more sustain…
Soils act as sources and sinks for greenhouse gases (GHG) such as carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), and nitrous oxide (N2O). Since both storage and emissions capacities may be large, precise quantifications are needed to obtain reliable global budgets that are necessary for land use. Agricultural activities contribute around 20% of global anthropogenic GHG emissions from soil and have …
The interface Amazon - Cerrado (Brazilian savannah) biomes represent one of the most important hotspots of land-use change in Brazil. The LUC of natural ecosystem into agricultural fields leads to significant soil health depletion and greenhouse gases emissions (GHG). In the Canarana microregion - northeast part of Mato Grosso state, many studies regarding effects of land-use change and l…
In the so-called MATOPIBA region in northeastern Brazil, large areas of native vegetation (NV; the Cerrado biome) were converted to agricultural areas under no-tillage (NT; e.g., soybean and cotton production) in recent years. However, little is known about the long-term impacts of this land-use change (LUC) on soil organic matter (SOM) dynamics and greenhouse gas emissions. (e.g., CO2). …
The degradation of pasture areas in Brazil makes it difficult to provide ecosystem services, among which, is the mitigation of global climatic change through the accumulation of stable C in the form of soil organic matter (SOM). Therefore, monitoring tools that permit the spatial and temporal predictions about SOM in pasture areas could help in making decisions about sustainable pasture m…
