                         and Northeast Brazil (NEB) were evaluated by simulations using the 
                         Center for Weather Forecasting and Climate Studies Atmospheric 
                         General Circulation Model (CPTEC-AGCM). Three experiments were 
                         performed: Amazon savannization, NEB desertification and both 
                         land-cover changes occurring concurrently. We found that 
                         land-cover change from adjacent areas do affect both Amazon and 
                         NEB regions and that the negative precipitation anomaly in NEB due 
                         to concurrent land-cover changes in Amazon and NEB is weaker than 
                         the linear addition of the anomalies considering the land-cover 
                         changes separately (synergistic behaviour). A simple mechanism was 
                         proposed to explain this behaviour. © 2011 Royal Meteorological
