Anthropogenic pressure index on biomes (APIB): Nexus scenarios for Brazil 2040

These new scenarios were created within the scope of the Thematic Project “Nexus – Transition to sustainability and the water-agriculture-energy nexus: exploring an integrative approach with case studies in the Cerrado and Caatinga biomes” (FAPESP - 2022/05856-0 and 2017/22269-2).
