Abstract:: ... Urban flooding is still frequently treated as a direct consequence of excess rainfall, without considering the watershed as an interdependent system connected with the development of its territory. The traditional flood control approach implies in continuous corrective interventions, usually of local character, and resulting from post-events responses. This process requires increasingly large inve ...

Abstract:: ... Karst landscapes display remarkable morphological diversity and raise challenging management questions. Understanding karst processes is particularly relevant to the management of densely populated rocky coastlines, since sea-level rise influences the erosion rate of potentially hazardous landforms (e.g. sinkholes). Appropriate management strategies are needed to mitigate against property loss and ...

Abstract:: ... Trend analysis of droughts and their geospatial and temporal variability assists decision-making about water resources management around the world and decreases the harmful effects of drought that affect the entire population. This work aimed to analyze short-, medium- and long-term droughts and their trends in the Brazilian state of Paraíba from 1998 to 2015 using Tropical Rainfall Measuring Miss ...

Abstract:: ... The present study aimed to verify if important biological data are being lost in a well-sampled region due to areas neglected by most biodiversity surveys. We performed a floristic and structural survey of an Atlantic Forest located at the bottom of an escarpment, in the southern region of the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. A total of 19 plots of 400 m² were allocated, totaling 0.76 ha of sampled ...
