22 EFFECTS OF LARGE SCALE DEFORESTTION Numerical simulations of deforestation Increase in surface temperature: 0.3 C to 3.0 C Decrease in evapotranspiration: 15% to 30% Decrease in precipitation: 5% to 20% Increases the length of the dry season Sources: Lean e Warrilow-1989; Nobre, et al.-1991; Henderson-Sellers et al.-1993; Lean et al.-1993, Sud et al , Lean et al.-1996, Manzi e Planton-1996, Rocha et al.-1996, Hahmann e Dickinson.-1997, Costa e Foley- 2000, Rocha-2001, Werth e Avissar-2002, Voldoire e Royer-2004 e Correia-2005, Sampaio et al., 2007, Costa et al., 2007.
23 Effect of regional deforestation Enhance local circulation Increase rainfall amounts Different impact on cloudiness in the dry and wet seasons
24 Biomes of tropical South America and precipitation seasonality Biomes of South America Tropical Forest Shrubland Tropical Forest-Savanna Boundary Number of consecutive months with less than 50 mm rainfall Savanna Sombroek 2001, Ambio Annual Rainfall The importance of rainfall seasonality (short dry season) for maintaining tropical forests all over Amazonia Terrestrial biosphere models are competent at predicting plant and ecosystem carbon fluxes under the present climate, but still require substantial development for predicting the consequences of severe drought scenarios - Powell et al, 2013.
25 Biomes for South America. Forest Is the current Climate- Vegetation equilibrium in Amazonia the only stable equilibrium possible? After Olsen et al. (2001).
26 Biome-Climate Equilibrium variabilidade Regime 2 Regime 1
27 Tipping points of the Earth System Application to Amazonia Tropical forest Savanna state triggered by climate change or deforestation Tipping points: temperature, rainfall and deforestation area Stability of savanna enhanced by increased droughts and fires Cardoso and Borma, 2010
28 Biome changing bi-stability in the Amazon (a) First State - Biome-climate equilibrium starting from forest land cover as initial condition for the Dynamic Vegetation Model. These results are similiar to current natural vegetation. (b) Second State - Biomeclimate equilibrium starting from desert land cover as Initial Condition for the Dynamic Vegetation Model Savannization of Amazonia and desertification in NE Brazil Oyama and Nobre, 2003
29 What does it take to tip the equilibrium between the two stable states??
30 Climate Change Consequences on the Biome distribution in tropical South America Projected distribution of natural biomes in South America for from 15 AOGCMs for the A2 emissions scenarios. Savanas in the Amazon and Semi-Desert in the Northeast of Brazil Savannization in this context is a statement on regional climate change and not intended to Salazar et al., 2007 describe complex ecological processes of vegetation substitution.
31 Climate change How does the forest respond to increased atmospheric CO 2? Only Climate CO ppm ½ CO 2 fertilization effect Taking into account the potential positive effect of CO 2 on forest resilience Lapola et al. GBC, 2009
32 Preliminary attempt at determining quantitative tipping points for collapse of the Amazon forests Tentatively, thresholds for the maintenance of the rainforests are: T Global Warming < 3 C (3.5 C in the Amazon) Total Deforested Area < 40% Forest fires decrease even further the resilence of tropical forests in the Amazon The role of CO 2 fertilization is unkown and could increase resilience

38 Brazilian Earth System Model - BESM BESM is a fully-coupled, global climate model that provides state-of-the-art computer simulations of the Earth s past, present, and future climate states. BESM is an evolution of previous versions of the Center for Weather Forecasting and Climate Studies (CPTEC) coupled ocean-atmosphere model. The creation of the Brazilian Earth System Model is a goal of various projects, among them the National Institute of Science and Technology on Climate Change (INCT-MC) and projects such as the FAPESP-Global Climate Change Program, which represents a large collaboration between INPE and various other national and foreign institutions and universities.

52 In Summary Climate change will very likely affect most biomes in South America during this century, but the intensity of the change is uncertain, in part because of differences in rainfall projections. Drivers of change: global warming, deforestation, fire, droughts There are many uncertainties associated with the long-term effect of CO 2, SST, land use changes, aerosols, etc The role of CO 2 fertilization is unkown and could increase resilience We need to calibrate the INLAND model for Brazilian Atlantic forest How to combine predictions of biodiversity with climate projections? There are many issues and improvements to do!
