Summary

In tropical, agricultural regions, widespread loss of native forest and savanna vegetation is increasing extreme heat. This report combines empirical estimates of the influence of ecosystem conversion on extreme heat over neighbouring cropland; the impacts of extreme heat heat on agricultural yields; and the native vegetation area, agricultural area and crop prices. It does this to model the losses of soy production in the Brazilian Amazon and Cerrado regions and the future value of conservation of the region's remaining ecosystem area near soy,
