| dc.description.abstract1 | Green areas provide numerous ecosystem services (ES) that are essential for human well-being, such as climate
regulation, air quality regulation, disease regulation, and recreational opportunities. In this study, we assessed
the ecosystem services provided by green areas and their implications for human health in Brazil. Considering
emerging problems in Brazil, such as population growth, the health crisis, and the increase in deforestation, ES
mapping is essential to understand barriers and diagnose strategies for promoting the health and well-being of
the Brazilian population. Using remote sensing data and geographic information systems, we evaluated the Green
Areas Ecosystem Services (GAES), composed of i) the provision of green areas; ii) regulation of air quality; iii)
climate regulation; iv) diseases regulation (cardiorespiratory); and v) cultural services, including recreation,
sports, and ecotourism. Our findings suggest that green areas in Brazil provide a considerable amount of
ecosystem services that are relevant to human health. Over 70 % of Brazil exhibited GAES values exceeding 0.5
(relative scale ranging from 0 to 1). This indicates that a significant portion of the Brazilian population has access
to green spaces that provide important services, such as air and water purification, climate regulation, and
disease regulation. The mean GAES value for the entire country was 0.78, with notable regional variations. The
highest GAES was found in regions dominated by the Amazon Forest (GAES = 0.81), while the smallest offers of
GAES are in the northeast (GAES = 0.40) and south (GAES = 0.41) regions of the country The type of vegetation
was an important factor in the regulation of climate and air quality. However, factors such as population density
and urbanization interfere with the regulation of diseases. Considering the 10 states with the highest and lowest
per capita income and population density, the state of Rio Grande do Sul, located in the South region, had the
highest mean GAES value; while the state of Acre, in the North region, had the lowest. Our findings suggest that
interventions to improve green area provision and quality may be most effective in the northeast and South
regions of Brazil. This is indicative of the observed lower GAES provision in these regions, primarily attributed to
elevated urbanization levels leading to the conversion of green areas into urban zones. Overall, our study
highlights the importance of green areas for human well-being and provides valuable information for policymakers to prioritize interventions to improve GAES provision across Brazil. | pt_BR |
