TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate the potential impacts of deforestation throughout the Amazon on the seasonal and annual water balances of these river basins using coupled climatic and hydrologic models under several deforestation scenarios.
The influence of historical and potential future deforestation on the stream flow of the Amazon River – Land surface processes and atmospheric feedbacks
TL;DR: In this article, results from two sets of numerical simulations are evaluated and presented; one with the land surface model IBIS forced with prescribed climate and another with the fully coupled atmospheric general circulation and land surface models CCM3-IBIS.
The fate of Amazonian ecosystems over the coming century arising from changes in climate, atmospheric CO2, and land use.

TL;DR: The results indicate that the impacts of climate change are primarily determined by the direction and severity of projected changes in regional precipitation, and that CO2 fertilization will enhance vegetation productivity and alleviate climate-induced increases in plant water stress, and, as a result, sustain high biomass forests, even under the driest climate scenario.

TL;DR: In this article, a climatological zoning was elaborated to determine the suitable areas for growing Arabic coffee (Coffea arabica L.) in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, based on the annual mean temperature, 30% or higher probability of occurrence of minimum air temperatures below 2°C from May to July, and the annual soil moisture deficit, calculated for a soil water storage capacity of 125 mm.
Soil Carbon Sequestration in Rainfed and Irrigated Production Systems in a New Brazilian Agricultural Frontier
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated whether rainfed and irrigated agriculture in Western Bahia were able to sequester carbon and re-establish the soil organic carbon content (SOCC) lost due to land use change.
