There have been numerous instances, though, where the installation of inappropriate equipment has compounded the problems at a terminal rather than solved them. To avoid such occurrences, the author calls for there to be a strategy in place for the identification of the problems affecting a terminal and for the selection and implementation of a methodology for solving them.

In southern Peru and Brazil, a decrease in actual evapotranspiration is observed in highly deforested areas due to a reduced access to soil moisture from the deepest root zone. Implications on the water and energy balance were also evaluated, looking at changes in the components of Budyko's theoretical framework. Among these components, the dryness index, i.e., the ratio between potential evapotranspiration and precipitation, indirectly indicates aridity conditions, and a transition from energy to water limited in evapotranspiration. Results suggest that in places with a high ratio of deforestation located in the southern Amazon in Bolivia, the tendency to become a region with savannah-like conditions is significant. In addition, Arias et al. (2020) show that the ongoing warming in tropical North Atlantic, which has intensified since the 1970s, generates changes in surface winds and atmospheric moisture transport in the region. These changes lead to de-The","PeriodicalId":371896,"journal":{"name":"Port Development Int","volume":"124 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114265930","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
