ABSTRACT The Atlantic Forest is home to the largest urban centers in Brazil, which modify various aspects of the natural quality of this forest. Soil chemical elements from three different sites in the Atlantic Forest in the state of Rio de Janeiro were analyzed: (1) the best-preserved remnant of Atlantic Forest in the state; (2) the largest urban forest in the world; and (3) an arboretum along the main vehicle route in the second-largest city in Brazil. Energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) analysis detected sixteen chemical elements including nutrient components and potentially toxic elements. The urban soil had a higher concentration of heavy metals. There was a significant concentration gradient of copper and lead from the urban site to the furthest forest site. We emphasize that the results indicate potential negative consequences for the conservation of forests and wildlife of state of Rio de Janeiro.

ABSTRACT Wood is an important building material used in roof structures, bridges, viaducts, and pedestrian bridges. In order to improve its use, as well as rehabilitate structural parts deteriorated by weathering, reinforcement of beams and columns with composite material is performed. Given the climate action on structures, it is important to know the influence and behavior of wood and composite material when subjected to weathering. This study aimed to evaluate the influence of the reinforcement of CCB-treated wood with carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) and subjected to artificial weathering on its tensile strength parallel to the fibers. The results showed a 30% reduction in strength due to weathering and a 25% increase in tensile strength, showing the positive influence of reinforcement even under artificial weathering conditions

ABSTRACT When wood is exposed outdoors, a combination of chemical and mechanical factors and solar radiation contribute to what is described as weathering, being the main degradation agent in this environment. This paper aims to investigate the effect of artificial weathering on mechanical and physical properties of Eucalyptus sp. and Cupiúba (Goupia glabra) woods simulating natural weathering effects. Samples were aged in UV radiation chamber with humidity and temperature control for 100, 200, 300 and 400 hours, considering aging cycles according to ASTM G154 (2006). Wood properties investigated were Conventional value of strength in static bending (fM), Modulus of elasticity in static bending (EM), strength in compression parallel to grain (fc0) and Janka Hardness (fH) according to ABNT NBT 7190 (1997). Effects of artificial weathering on wood properties were evaluated by statistical analysis at 5% significance level. Most of the wood properties investigated did not present significant changes with the aging performed, however, it was noted a decrease in the absolute values of the wood properties absolute values during the aging process. Only fH of Cupiúba wood aged for 100 and 200 hours presented significative performance loss at the significance level considered, which can be related to changes on the wood surface due to weathering exposure.

ABSTRACT Flame retardants are efficient in fighting wildfire; however, their environmental implications, especially regarding the vegetation, need to be clarified. This work aimed at assessing the effects of flame retardant on the initial growth of Schizolobium amazonicum. Treatments consisted in applying different flame retardant concentrations via substrate and leaf: Phos-Chek WD-881® (0, 3.00, 6.00, 8.00 and 10.00 mL L-1), Hold Fire® (0, 7.00, 9.00, 12.00 and 15.00 mL L-1) and water-retaining polymer Nutrigel® used as alternative retardant (0, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75 and 1.00 g L-1). Growth analyses were carried out to assess the effects of these substances (10 repetitions per treatment). The aliquot of 10.00 mL L-1 of Phos-Chek WD881 applied on the leaves led to an increase of 70% in leaf area and 15% in seedling height. The same Phos-Chek concentration favored height increase (32%) and total dry mass accumulation (33%) throughout time. The concentration of 15 mL L-1 of Hold Fire® applied on leaves, compromised 45% the accumulation of dry biomass in the seedling. Initially, 1.00 g L-1 of Nutrigel® applied via substrate led to an increase of 70% in leaf area, 29% in plant height, and 89% in leaf dry mass. Therefore, Phos-Chek applied on leaves favored shoot growth in S. amazonicum. Hold Fire® applied on leaves impaired biomass accumulation in seedlings. Nutrigel® applied on substrate does not cause long-lasting damage to the initial growth of S. amazonicum. The aliquot of 0.50 g L-1 administered via polymer leave had positive effect on seedling shoot.
阻燃剂在扑灭野火中是有效的;但是,它们对环境的影响,特别是对植被的影响,需要加以澄清。本研究旨在探讨阻燃剂对亚马逊裂壁菌初期生长的影响。处理包括通过基质和叶片施用不同浓度的阻燃剂:Phos-Chek cd -881®(0,3.00,6.00,8.00和10.00 mL L-1), Hold Fire®(0,7.00,9.00,12.00和15.00 mL L-1)和保水性聚合物Nutrigel®作为替代阻燃剂(0,0.25,0.50,0.75和1.00 g L-1)。进行生长分析以评估这些物质的影响(每次处理10次重复)。按10.00 mL L-1的phs - chek WD881等量施于叶片上,叶面积增加70%,苗高增加15%。相同的Phos-Chek浓度有利于植株的高度增加(32%)和总干质量积累(33%)。15 mL L-1的Hold Fire®在叶片上施用,降低了45%的干生物量在幼苗中的积累。最初,通过基质施用1.00 g L-1的Nutrigel®可使叶片面积增加70%,株高增加29%,叶片干质量增加89%。因此,在叶片上施用磷-切克有利于亚马孙植株的生长。在叶片上施用Hold Fire®会损害幼苗的生物量积累。Nutrigel®应用于基质上不会对亚马逊葡萄球菌的初始生长造成长期损害。通过聚合物叶片给药0.50 g L-1对幼苗梢部有积极影响。

ABSTRACT Understanding the dynamics of forest species occupation in savanna and grasslands environments allows us to assess how forest expansion operates over time. For eleven years, the population dynamics of Tachigali rubiginosa (Mart. ex. Tul.) Oliveira-Filho was registered to evaluate the occupation strategy of this species in the ecotone between forest (Mata de Galeria) and grassland (Campo Sujo), located within the Capetinga stream basin, at Fazenda Água Limpa, Federal District. This area has been protected from wildfires since 1987. This study allocated thirty-one transects of 5 m x 100 m perpendicularly to the Capetinga stream, covering forest and grassland environments. The measurements were taken from adult trees (DBH ≥ 5 cm), young trees (height > 1 m and DBH < 5 cm) and seedlings (height ≤ 1 m and DBH < 5 cm). The results indicated that, in the studied period, the population of T. rubiginosa increased from 179.5 to 262.8 ind / ha. In 2007, of the total of 280 individuals in 1.56 ha, 96 of them were in the forest (0.22 ha), 103 in the ecotone (0.16 ha), and 81 in the grassland (1.18 ha). In 2018, this proportion changed when the number of individuals decreased in the forest (83 individuals), while the number increased in the ecotone (135 individuals) and in the grassland (194 individuals). In 2007, the young trees dominated with 71% of the total, followed by the adults trees (28.5%) and the seedlings (20.7%). In 2018, the young trees represented most individuals (39.2%), but there was a balance between the three size categories, as the seedlings represented 30.0% and adults trees 30.7%. Over the period of the study, there was an increase in the population of T. rubiginosa, especially of young individuals, which indicates persistence over time and an expansion of this forest species into grassland environments.

ABSTRACT The generally limited resources for forest management and the growing need of forest production regulation requires the optimization of planning approaches for the spatialization of annual production units (APU). An APU planning methodology for forest species of high wood value (Amburana acreana (Ducke) ACSm., Apuleia leiocarpa (Vogel) JF Macbr. and Castilla ulei Warb.) in management area was proposed, using prediction of potential distribution of these species with data from the occurrence of a census forest inventory. It was used sample inventory data simulated in three sampling systems (random, conglomerate systematic, and systematic) and sample intensities (0.5% and 0.8%). As predictive variables, it was used the altitude, vertical distance to the nearest drain, individual bands of the TM sensor on board the Landsat 5, and vegetation index by normalized difference. Eighteen models were obtained, six per species. The test area under the curve (AUC) of the models ranged from 0.517 to 0.804. For all species, the best predictive model was considered the conglomerate system with a sample intensity of 0.8%. Altitude was the predictor variable that most contributed to the models. The AUC values for the Amburana acreana models were significantly different from Apuleia leiocarpa and Castilla ulei (p = 0.0138). For species of lower density, it is recommended greater sampling intensity and sampling systems that provide better spatialization of occurrence records. The use of data from sampling forest inventories in different sampling systems is capable of predicting environmental suitability for forest species and helps to define APUs. Thus, it is possible to strenghten the exploration strategies and management planning of management areas and to contribute to the perpetuation of the activity in the unequal forests of the Amazon region.

ABSTRACT Reforestation is considered an effective method to improve soil quality and drain atmospheric CO2 by sequestering carbon, in both soil and vegetation. In this regard, the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of converting areas cultivated with sugarcane to eucalypt plantations (Eucalyptus spp.) on soil quality and carbon sequestration in a Latossolo (Ferralsol) in the Atlantic Forest region of the Alagoas state, Brazil, through multivariate analysis. The systems under evaluation consisted of four areas: one area cultivated with sugarcane for approximately 20 years, taken as the reference area of this study, and the other three adjacent areas cultivated with eucalypt at 1 (E1), 3 (E3) and 6 (E6) years of age, previously cultivated with sugarcane. Physical (bulk density - BD, Mean weight-diameter - MWD, geometric mean diameter - GMD and aggregate stability index - ASI), chemical (soil organic carbon - SOC, total nitrogen - TN, labile carbon - LC and recalcitrant carbon - RC) and biological (Microbial biomass carbon - MBC, soil carbon respiration - C-CO2 and metabolic quotient - qCO2) properties of soil were evaluated. Data were collected, standardized and submitted to exploratory analysis with principal components. The results show that SOC, LC, TN, GMD, MWD and ASI increased, while BD showed a reduction in E3 and E6 systems. The conversion of sugarcane cultivation with burning of straw and manual harvest into eucalypt plantations was efficient at promoting SOC sequestration and improving physical, chemical and biological properties of soil.

ABSTRACT Condensed tannins are chemical compounds derived from the secondary metabolism of plants. They are of particular interest due to their broad range of technological uses and applications. The objective of this study was to extract, quantify, and characterize by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) the bark tannins of four forest species grown in Northeast Brazil: Acacia mangium, Azadirachta indica, Mimosa tenuiflora, and Mimosa caesalpiniifolia. Bark samples were collected from 5 trees of each species grown in a five-year-old forest stand. Samples were collected, grounded, and submitted to extraction with hot water, then measured to determine total solids content (TSC), Stiasny number (SN), and condensed tannins content (CTC). FTIR spectra were acquired from tannin samples fixed in potassium bromide pellets. Among the four species, M. tenuiflora presented the highest CTC, equal to 23.4%, and the purest crude hot-water extract with SN of 91.27%. Based on FTIR characterization, tannins from M. caesalpiniifolia, A. indica, and A. mangium barks were classified as proanthocyanidins and those from M. tenuiflora bark as prodelphinidins.

ABSTRACT The expansion of agribusiness in Brazil is partly due to the expansion of arable areas in the Cerrado biome, which, consequently, leads to an increase in the use of herbicides, including glyphosate. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the physiological and morphoanatomic responses of Bowdichia virgilioides Kunth. (Fabaceae), when exposed to the herbicide glyphosate, under controlled greenhouse conditions. In addition, the study proposed to identify possible response patterns of the studied species and provide subsidies for the study of the species in areas affected by the drift of the herbicide. The experimental design was in randomized blocks, with seven doses of the herbicide: 25, 50, 100, 200, 400, 800, and 1200 g i.a ha-1 besides the control (0), with four repetitions each. Gas exchange, chlorophyll a fluorescence emission, chloroplast pigment content, membrane permeability, and visual and anatomical features were analyzed. The results showed that glyphosate is phytotoxic to B. virgilioides because, even at low doses, this herbicide was able to affect all parameters analyzed. There was also confirmation of the presence of phenolic compounds, mainly in the palisade parenchyma. The metabolic alterations presented demonstrated the sensitivity of B. virgilioides to glyphosate. Thus, the observed responses can serve as a tool for diagnosing the effects of glyphosate exposure on this species, present in native areas affected by the drift of this herbicide. Its indiscriminate use poses a risk to Cerrado biodiversity.
巴西农业综合企业的扩张在一定程度上是由于塞拉多生物群落可耕地面积的扩大,因此,导致除草剂的使用增加,包括草甘膦。因此,本研究的目的是评价黄包丹的生理和形态学反应。(Fabaceae),当暴露于除草剂草甘膦时,在受控的温室条件下。此外,研究还提出了确定被研究物种可能的响应模式,并为受除草剂漂移影响地区的物种研究提供补贴。实验设计为随机分组,除对照(0)外,采用25、50、100、200、400、800和1200 g i.a ha-1 7个剂量,每个重复4次。分析了气体交换、叶绿素a荧光发射、叶绿体色素含量、膜通透性以及视觉和解剖特征。结果表明,草甘膦具有植物毒性,因为即使在低剂量下,草甘膦也能影响所分析的所有参数。还证实了酚类化合物的存在,主要是在栅栏薄壁中。这些代谢变化表明了维吉利菊对草甘膦的敏感性。因此,观察到的反应可以作为诊断草甘膦暴露对该物种的影响的工具,存在于受该除草剂漂移影响的原生地区。它的滥用对塞拉多的生物多样性构成了威胁。

ABSTRACT The understanding of factors determining species geographic distribution is a fundamental aim of ecology. We investigated the environmental niche for three Myrtaceae species in the Brazilian Subtropical Atlantic Forest (BSAF), part of a global conservation hotspot. Based on a literature review, we selected one representative Myrtaceae species in three important forest types in this region: Evergreen Rain Forest (coastal plains and associated mountains ranges); Araucaria Forest, and Seasonal Deciduous Forest (continental upland areas). Geographical coordinates of their distribution were obtained from the BIEN database. As explanatory variables, we considered altitude, climate, cloud cover, and soil classes. We summarized the environmental space occupied by each pair of species using Principal Components Analysis, determined niche overlaps, and applied statistical tests to verify niche equivalences and similarities. The selected species in Evergreen Rain Forest, Araucaria Forest, and Seasonal Deciduous Forest were Myrcia splendens (Sw.) DC., Myrcia guianensis (Aubl.) DC., and Campomanesia xanthocarpa O.Berg., respectively. C. xanthocarpa showed a more restricted geographic distribution than the two Myrcia species that occur from central America to southern Brazil. Species’ geographic distribution were fundamentally determined by temperature and rainfall regimes. Only C. xanthocarpa and M. guianensis, from uplands forest formations, showed environmental niche equivalence. In conclusion, we found that both species of Myrcia showed high climatic niche amplitudes occurring throughout the climatic gradient, while C. xanthocarpa was more subtropical, distributed mostly in the south and southeast of Brazil.
