Climate change and land use from Brazilian cow-calf production amidst diverse levels of biodiversity conservation

Ecological behaviour in the AI economy and its impact on biodiversity: Lessons from the COVID-19 pandemic and a post-COVID perspective

“…The paper's contribution to literature consists in strengthening the evidential base of the existing hypothesis in developing countries-specifying the role of ecological behaviour in the AI economy in the preservation of biodiversity by the example of Russia, amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The results showed that biodiversity is determined not only by natural and climatic factors [unlike Dick et al (2022), McLaughlin et al (2022, Xie et al (2022)] and not only by economic factors [unlike Marques et al (2019), Meng et al (2019), Otero et al (2020), Usman Mirza et al (2020] but also by social factors. Ecological behaviour is a significant social factor that largely determines success in preserving biodiversity.…”

“…In the existing literature, Dick et al (2022), McLaughlin et al (2022), Xie et al (2022), the reduction of biodiversity is interpreted as an environmental problem. The main attention is paid to natural and climatic threats to biodiversity.…”

Networks analysis of Brazilian climate data based on the DCCA cross-correlation coefficient

“…Due to its territorial immensity (8, 511, 965Km 2 ), with 93% of the territory located in the Southern Hemisphere and 7% in the Northern Hemisphere, with a location in the inter-tropical zone of the planet, Brazil has different types of climates, such as equatorial, tropical, highland tropical, humid tropical, semi-arid and subtropical. This distribution of climates, depending on the region, can have well-distributed rainfall (e.g., the South region of Brazil), high temperatures throughout the year, insufficient and poorly distributed rainfall (e.g., the Northeast region of Brazil), high temperature, high humidity, and low thermal amplitude, with high levels of rainfall (e.g., the North region of Brazil, where the Amazon forest is located), mountain and plateau regions (e.g., the Southeast region of Brazil, which is characterized by low thermal amplitude and average temperature oscillating between 17˚C and 22˚C) [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9].…”
