Changes resulting from land use and occupation modify the surface radioactive balance. This paper evaluated the impact on the net radiation caused by the conversion of a Cerrado area in an agricultural zone in the southern Mato Grosso using Landsat 5 TM sensor imagery acquired between June and October 2011. The analyses were performed of the following land use classes: Cerrado, riparian vegetation, sugarcane, soybean, pasture, bare soil and water. The replacement of Cerrado by agricultural areas changed the biophysical indices of the surface due to the change in biomass and the optical properties of the surface as observed in this study. The NDVI values were higher in the typical Cerrado vegetation and Riparian Forest than in agricultural areas. The surface temperature and the surface albedo showed an inverse pattern of NDVI, with lower values in the typical Cerrado vegetation and Riparian Forest and higher values in agricultural areas and bare soil. The replacement of Cerrado by cultivated crops in the south of Mato Grosso decreased the available energy at the surface, as indicated by the radiation balance.

A conversão da vegetação nativa para áreas agrícolas modifica a dinâmica de troca de energia no sistema soloplanta-atmosfera. Dessa forma, o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o efeito da conversão de uma área de Cerrado em culturas agronômicas no balanço de energia e evapotranspiração no sul do Estado de Mato Grosso. O estudo foi conduzindo em áreas de cerradão, cerrado stricto sensu, mangueiral, cultura de teca, coqueiral e pastagem. Energy Balance in Terms of Land Use Changes in the Southern of Mato Grosso State AbstractThe conversion of native vegetation to agricultural areas modifies the dynamics of energy exchange in the soil-plantatmosphere system. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect in energy balance and evapotranspiration in the southern state of Mato Grosso due to the conversion of a Cerrado area in agronomic crops. The study was leading in areas of Cerradão, Cerrado strictu sensu, mango grove, teak culture, coconut trees and pasture. The energy balance was estimated by SEBAL (Surface Energy Balance Algorithm for Land) using weather station data and images from Landsat 5 TM sensor obtained in 2010. The net radiation showed lower values in pasture than in the Cerrado. The latent heat flux in the Cerrado was higher by 60% in relation to agronomic crops. The sensible heat flux in agricultural areas were 50% higher than Cerrado areas. The Cerradão and Mangueiral showed lower heat flux values on the ground. Although this study does not represent the entire Cerrado of Mato Grosso, the results showed the impact of the Cerrado into agricultural areas in the energy balance.

ResumoO Pantanal apresenta períodos de inundação que modelam a paisagem e atuam como filtro ao estabelecimento e desenvolvimento de plantas. Perturbações antrópicas ou naturais podem alterar a distribuição da energia disponível no ecossistema. Diante da necessidade de compreensão da variabilidade temporal do balanço de energia em paisagens naturais inundáveis, o objetivo deste estudo foi analisar a sazonalidade do balanço de energia em área arbustiva alagável composta por Combretum lanceolatum Pohl no Pantanal Mato-grossense. As estimativas do fluxo de calor latente (LE) e sensível (H), e da evapotranspiração (ET) foram obtidas pelo método da razão de Bowen entre maio de 2012 e abril de 2013. A energia disponível foi destinada prioritariamente ao LE (64,1%), seguido ao H (35,8%) e quase zero ao fluxo de calor no solo (0,1%). Os componentes do balanço de energia apresentaram forte sazonalidade, com maior LE durante a estação chuvosa e maior H durante a estação seca. A evapotranspiração foi menor durante a estação seca devido ao baixo conteúdo de água no solo e transpiração da vegetação dominante na área de estudo. Os resultados obtidos nesse trabalho sugerem que o ambiente estudado é limitado pela disponibilidade de energia e água.

Seasonality of Energy Balance and Evapotranspiration in a FloodedScrubland in the Pantanal of Mato Grosso AbstractThe Pantanal has flood periods that model the landscape and act as a filter to the establishment and development of plants Anthropogenic or natural disturbances can alter the available energy distribution in the ecosystem. Due to the need of understanding the temporal variability of the energy balance in flood natural landscapes, the objective of this study was to analyze the seasonality of the energy balance in flooded shrub area consisting of Combretum lanceolatum Pohl in Mato Grosso Pantanal. The estimates of latent (LE) and sensible (H) heat flux, and evapotranspiration (ET) were obtained by the method of Bowen ratio between May 2012 and April 2013.The available energy was intended primarily to LE (64.1%), followed by H (35.8%) and almost zero to heat flow in soil (0.1%). The components of the energy balance showed strong seasonality, with highest LE in the wet season and highest H in the dry season. The evapotranspiration was lower during the dry season due to the lower soil water content and transpiration of dominant vegetation in the study area. Results suggest that the study area was limited by the availability of energy and water.

The determination of the surface energy balance fluxes (SEBFs) and evapotranspiration (ET) is fundamental in environmental studies involving the effects of land use change on the water requirement of crops. SEBFs and ET have been estimated by remote sensing techniques, but with the operation of new sensors, some variables need to be parameterized to improve their accuracy. Thus, the objective of this study is to evaluate the performance of algorithms used to calculate surface albedo and surface temperature on the estimation of SEBFs and ET in the Cerrado-Pantanal transition region of Mato Grosso, Brazil. Surface reflectance images of the Operational Land Imager (OLI) and brightness temperature (Tb) of the Thermal Infrared Sensor (TIRS) of the Landsat 8, and surface reflectance images of the MODIS MOD09A1 product from 2013 to 2016 were combined to estimate SEBF and ET by the surface energy balance algorithm for land (SEBAL), which were validated with measurements from two flux towers. The surface temperature (Ts) was recovered by different models from the Tb and by parameters calculated in the atmospheric correction parameter calculator (ATMCORR). A model of surface albedo (asup) with surface reflectance OLI Landsat 8 developed in this study performed better than the conventional model (acon) SEBFs and ET in the Cerrado-Pantanal transition region estimated with asup combined with Ts and Tb performed better than estimates with acon. Among all the evaluated combinations, SEBAL performed better when combining asup with the model developed in this study and the surface temperature recovered by the Barsi model (Tsbarsi). This demonstrates the importance of an asup model based on surface reflectance and atmospheric surface temperature correction in estimating SEBFs and ET by SEBAL.

The damage associated with fire events causes great loss every year to areas such as public health, economy and the environment. The present work aimed to quantify the hotspots within the municipality of Rio Verde - GO between January 2005 and December 2020 and to determine the areas with the highest incidences of fires. The land uses and occupations observed within the municipality were arable area in preparation (AEP), agricultural area (AAG), vegetation area (AVE) and area close to water bodies (APA). For all years of study, there was a greater area of coverage for AAG, followed by AEP, AVE and APA, respectively. Regarding the temporal behavior, the number of hotspots is increasing in the first years (2005 - 2011), then there is a decrease (2012 - 2016) and with a new increase in recent years (2017 - 2020). Regarding the seasons of the year, the dry period made up at least 75% of the total cases for each year. As for classes of land use and occupation, those that presented the highest numbers were AEP and AAG, respectively. From the present work, it was possible to conclude that the geotechnological tools proved to be highly efficient for spatio-temporal evaluation of fire events.
