Resumo: | ABSTRACT: The tropical region can be geographically defined, using latitudinal delimitation, as that part of the earth located between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn, comprising 38% of the Earth´s land surface. A total of 124 countries and territories are entirely or for the most part in the tropical region. On the other hand, the boundaries of the tropics are defined by climatologists commonly based on surface temperature and precipitation patterns. Hence, the estimated boundaries of the tropics can extend further from the equator than the latitudinal delimitation and the tropical zone spreads across the less welldefined subtropical zone. In this chapter, descriptions of the main climates and soils and a summary of the agricultural activities in the tropical region are presented in an integrated way, taken into consideration that the geographical delimitation is inexact at the boundaries. A global perspective is adopted and climate change is considered. |

ABSTRACT: The tropical region can be geographically defined, using latitudinal delimitation, as that part of the earth located between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn, comprising 38% of the Earth´s land surface. A total of 124 countries and territories are entirely or for the most part in the tropical region. On the other hand, the boundaries of the tropics are defined by climatologists commonly based on surface temperature and precipitation patterns. Hence, the estimated boundaries of the tropics can extend further from the equator than the latitudinal delimitation and the tropical zone spreads across the less welldefined subtropical zone. In this chapter, descriptions of the main climates and soils and a summary of the agricultural activities in the tropical region are presented in an integrated way, taken into consideration that the geographical delimitation is inexact at the boundaries.
