Analysis reveals rainfall variability significantly declines with increased land use in the Cerrado, suggesting urgent sustainable practices.

Rainfall variability decreased significantly, with average annual precipitation dropping by 32.14% since 1991.
Agricultural and urban land use expanded dramatically by 365% and 237.59%, respectively, correlating with precipitation changes.
Long-term satellite data analysis employed Spearman correlation and Mann-Kendall tests to uncover trends in rainfall and land use.
Findings highlight the urgent need for sustainable management strategies to mitigate climate impacts in the Cerrado region.

Boldrin et al. (2025) studied this question.
