The Amazon biome is under severe threat due to increasing deforestation rates and loss of biodiversity ecosystem services while sustaining a high burden neglected tropical diseases. Approximately two thirds this are located within Brazilian territory. There, socio-economic environmental landscape transformations linked the regional agrarian economy dynamics, which has developed into six techno-productive trajectories (TTs). These TTs product historical interaction between Peasant Farmer...

Abstract A rapid and reliable identification of the country origin protected timbers is one measures for combating illegal logging. Mahogany ( Swietenia macrophylla King) trees are distributed from Mexico to Bolivia Brazilian Amazon included in Appendix II Convention on International Trade Endangered Species Wild Fauna Flora (CITES). Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) has been proven be a promising technique calibration based species identification. There only few studies concerning...

In the Amazon, land market is imposed by conversion of forest into for economic purposes. Part this result illicit actions, using different levels violence and producing changes in landscape. We argue that conflicts over are signs territories action mechanisms to generate as a commodity region. Based on situations mapped Pastoral Land Commission period from 2012 2021 analytical categories agrarian economy (technological trajectories, TTs) 2006 2017, an analysis was built at municipal level...

Na Amazônia, o mercado de terras se impõe pela conversão da floresta em para mercado. Parte dessas é fruto do ilícito, com uso diferentes níveis violência, e produzem alterações na paisagem florestal. Argumentamos que os conflitos por terra são sinalizadores nos territórios ação dos mecanismos geradores terra, como mercadoria, operam região. Partindo das situações mapeadas Comissão Pastoral Terra no período 2012 a 2021 as categorias analíticas economia agrária (trajetórias tecnológicas, TT),...

We surveyed ant fauna in the leaf litter an Atlantic Semideciduous forest State Park of Rio Doce (PERD). The work aimed to produce basic information about habitat effects on diversity, as well how a such buffered habitat, layer, could respond climate variation short and long term. sampled two years distinct physiognomies, which different geomorphologic backgrounds, dry rainy seasons. Species composition, richness abundance these forests were distinct. However, both hosted similar numbers...

Abstract Forest responses to changes in drought frequency is a critical matter for the future of Amazon forests under climate change, but equally important much less studied response large floods, which may also increase tree mortality and change forest functionality. Further, vulnerability flood being exacerbated by hydroelectric dams on rivers that put upland environments not adapted at unique risk. To address this knowledge gap, we evaluated effects extreme 2014 rainfall coupled with...

The anatomical characteristics of the wood are influenced by quality sites material provenance, which, consequently, leads to alterations in its physical and mechanical properties. aim this paper was assess characterize organoleptic properties teak (Tectona grandis) from different state Mato Grosso, Brazil. Regarding length, width, diameter thickness wall for fiber were assessed; length vessels; width frequency rays. results obtained showed that do not present variations between sites....

Quality control to obtain composite laminates is frequently applied synthetic fibers/epoxy prepregs. The gel time test, resin, volatiles and fiber content, drape measurement tack tests together with water absorption capacity are methods currently employed. However, for natural fibers prepregs there a gap in the literature, which makes their application difficult. Thus this work will investigate sisal fibers, have low cost, high biodegradability specific weight, following common manufacture...

Summary The Brazilian Amazon has the world’s largest concentration of indigenous American peoples, but many environmental threats have affected preservation this enormous human ethnocultural heritage. This study identified species and studied different uses wood by two ethnic groups in Southeastern Pará, Brazil, namely “Gavião” “Suruí”. Ten taxa were identified, distributed eight botanical families, with five being to genus levels. Bertholletia excelsa , an endangered forest is important...

Summary The ipê trees belonging to the genus Handroanthus are among most exploited species in Amazon Forest. However, limitations wood identification processes can lead an overexploitation of a single species. We compare, macroscopically, anatomy five ( H. barbatus , capitatus impetiginosus incanus and serratifolius –Bignoniaceae). Except for over 20 m tall used commercially. compared leaf morphology two commercially ), aiming separate them field with keys. For macroscopical analyses, 55...

Abstract Brazil has regions where the potential for wood supply is substantial and lack of knowledge about forest species becomes a possible barrier to its acceptance, as case from Caatinga biome. This research aims identify highlights attributes this biome in perception producers small wooden objects premise market studies. For purpose, nine were used study exploratory with semistructured interviews use word cloud similarity analyses IRAMUTEQ software. As result, it was found that,...

Este texto, relata os primeiros resultados de um projeto sobre o design e a fabricação tipos móveis madeira no Brasil. Conduzida por uma rede três universidades Serviço Florestal Brasileiro, pesquisa tem como principal objetivo produção novos madeira, usando técnicas modernas. Tendo em vista que as madeiras tradicionalmente usadas para este fim, são espécies exóticas ao Brasil levantou-se hipótese nativas foram utilizadas na longo do século XX. Como nenhuma fábrica sobreviveu, muito pouco...
