The book reveals that today's Pantanal is an evolutionary sequence of geologic, ecologic, and more recently manmade events taking place at distinct space-time frequencies. Under this perspective, yhe notion of preserving the Pantanal wetland "as today" in the long term is somehow idealistic, as mich stronger planetary forces are involved in its dynamics and configuration. Contends: 1-Underneath the Pantanal wetland: a deep-time history of gondwana assembly, climate change, and the dawn os metazoan life; 2-Geology and geomorphology of the Pantanal Basin.; 3-Paleolimnology in the Pantanal: using lake sediments to track quaternary environmental change in the world's largest tropical wetland; 4-Avulsive rivers in the hidrology of the Pantanal Wetland; 5-Terrestrial and aquatic vegetation diversity of the Pantanal Wetland; 6-Metabolic scaling applied to native woody savanna species in the Pantanal de Nhecolândia; 7-alkaline lake dynamics in the Necolândia landscape 8-Methane and carbon dioxide dynamics in the Paraguay River floodplain (Pantanal) in episodic anoxia events; 9-Pesticides in the Pantanal;10-Historical land-use changes in São Gabriel do Oeste at the upper Taquari river basin;11-Natural and environmental vulnerability along the touristic "Estrdas Parque Pantanal" by GIS algebraic mapping; 12-Climate change scenarios in the Pantanal. aClimate aClimate change aEcosystems aWetlands aBiodiversidade aCondição ambiental aEcossistema aEcosytem's resilience aNhecolânida aWetland ecosytems1 aASSINE, M.
