Subsídios do geoprocessamento para análise integrada dos dados de mudanças climáticas e de problemas fitossanitários.

Brazil is highly dependent on agriculture, which is directly dependent on climatic factors. Due to the intense relationship between environment and disease, changes in the geographical and temporal distribution of disease occurrence may occur as an impact of climate change. The responses of different pathosystems to climate change vary widely. The objective of this study was to present a proposal for the integrated analysis of climate change projections and phytosanitary problems, by using geoprocessing supports. The integrated analysis allows a better understanding of the interaction of these two climatic and biological systems in space and time. The prediction of the climate change scenarios of geographic distribution of pests obtained with the support of Geoprocessing presents great potential, allowing the development of tactics of control and strategies, in order to facilitate the decision making, with significant time and resource saving
