In addition, this sensitivity analysis predicts that the current dry shrubland vegetation of northeast Brazil could potentially turn into a bare soil landscape. The mechanism driving tree cover reduction consists of the combination of less favorable climate conditions for trees and more fire activity. This means that 6% of the areas currently covered by forests could potentially turn into grass-dominated savanna landscapes. 300 km, with tree cover losses ranging from 20 to 85%. The transition width would increase from 150 to c. The most critical vegetation changes are projected to take place over the easternmost portions of the basin, with a widening of the forest-savanna transition. These changes ranged from 2 to 6☌ warming, + 10 to -20% precipitation change and 0 to 15% increase in lightning frequency, which, in aggregate form, represent expected future climatic changes in response to global warming and deforestation. Environmental changes were then imposed upon the model in temperature, precipitation and lightning strikes. Initially, under current environmental conditions, CVNF model results suggested that, in the absence of fires, tropical forests would extend 200 km into the presently observed savanna domain.
We used a climate-vegetation-natural fire (CVNF) conceptual model to evaluate the sensitivity and vulnerability of forest, savanna, and the forest-savanna transition to environmental changes in tropical South America.
