The sublimation and condensation processes of the seasonal Martian caps are linked to the CO2 cycle, the main cycle on Mars. Observing the seasonal growth/recession rates of the caps provides insight into the local and global environment. These seasonal processes strongly influence the global energy budget of Mars.

Islands are particularly vulnerable to global change due to their limited size and remoteness. Sustainable land use practices based on nature-based solutions can help local communities to adapt their agricultural systems to climate change. This doctoral thesis research focused on Santa Cruz Island located in the Galapagos Archipelago-.

The worldwide concern over the decline of pollinators needs plans for the conservation of this pollination ecosystem service. National and regional plans first require a comprehensive assessment of the abundance and diversity of insect pollinators and of their floral resources, as well as an in-depth understanding of the dynamics and resilience of plant-pollinator networks.

Brazil is one of the largest beef producers in the world and most of its production is consumed domestically. Beef produced in Brazil is mostly free-range, covering large territories and being associated with deforestation and carbon emissions.

In this thesis three theoretical biological models of a living unity are implemented to study the dynamic organization and complexity of the Earth system from the point of view of the Gaia hypothesis–the Earth instantiates life at the planetary scale–.
