| Resumo: |
The Pantanal is an extensive sedimentary plain, with seasonal flooding and where extensive livestock farming is the main economic activity. Flood seasonality is a natural process in wetlands, it naturally fertilizes native pastures that occur in large areas in the Pantanal, being the basis of cattle feed. In regions that flood by overflowing rivers or those that flood directly because of rain, large areas of native pasture are submerged from time to time with critical depths and durations, and in extreme events, there may be a drastic reduction in the supply of food and even an increase of cattle mortality due to starvation or drowning. Over more than 200 years of coexisting with floods, management strategies such as the removal of cattle from low, floodable areas, to higher areas in the Pantanal or in the adjacent plateaus, allowed livestock to adapt to floods, being characterized as a very effective non-structural measure. In this context, the question that is asked every year is: what will the magnitude of the flood and flooded areas be and will the removal of cattle be necessary?
