This book provides readers with in-depth insights into the changes
in the Pantanal wetland from its formation to the actual and likely
future states. It reveals that today's Pantanal is an evolutionary
consequence of geological, ecological and, more recently, man-made
events taking place at distinct space-time intervals. Topics
include geotectonics and sun-earth interactions, which largely
dictate the rate of drastic changes that eventually disrupt
ecological stability and radically rebuild the regional landscape.
Furthermore, the biota-climate system is discussed as a major
driver reshaping the ecohydrology functioning of the landscape on
an intermediate timescale. Also covered are major changes in the
landscape ecohydrology and biodiversity due to recent land-use and
climate changes induced by humankind in the Anthropocene. The
ability to recognize how those temporal scales impact the Pantanal
wetland provides the opportunity for wise management approaches and
the sustainable development of the region.
