In the scope of the German BMBF-FONA program (Federal Ministry for Education and Research?Research for Sustainable Development), the Carbiocial consortium (www.carbiocial.de) investigated C stock changes, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, erosion, catchment hydrology, agricultural production, land cover, socio-economic drivers, policy impact and actor networks using experiments, monitoring, surveys, remote sensing and dynamic simulation modelling. In Brazil, the corresponding research project Carbioma focused more specifically on the political programs which were established to mitigate environmental problems arising from inappropriate land use, such as Brazil?s Sector Plan for the Mitigation and Adaptation to Climate Change for the Consolidation of Low Carbon Emission Agricuture (ABC Plan; Plano Setorial de Mitigação e de Adaptação às Mudanças Climáticas para a Consolidação de uma Economia de Baixa Emissão de Carbono na Agricultura; MAPA?MDA 2012), the Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAS) and the intended Nationally Determined Contributions (iNDC; Brazil 2015). For this, Carbioma performed field experiments at the different experimental field stations of the Empresa Brasileira de Pesquisa Agropecuária (Embrapa). The main objective of both project consortia was to investigate viable, carbon-optimised land management strategies for this hotspot of global change research. Together with its Brazilian partners, collaborators and local stakeholders, Carbiocial concentrated on obtaining parameters for simulation models, which are then used to test and improve carbonoptimised land use management strategies aCarbon aLand management aResearch management aBiodiversidade aAmazonas aRegional climate system1 aCOUTO, E.
