13C e 14C obtidos da matéria orgânica do solo foram usados para diferenciar fases de flutuação da vegetação em transição floresta-savana. A região apresenta baixos platôs com depressões topográficas imperfeitamente drenadas na superfície. Na topossequência estudada foram analisados solos de cinco perfis localizados sob floresta (F), transição floresta-savana (S1), borda da depressão sob savana (S2) e centro da depressão sob savana (S3). Os valores de 13C e idades evidenciam que a ~ 200cm de profundidade, com idades entre ~ 12.000 e 10.000 A.P., valores de -27â° a -27,7â° indicam vegetação de floresta (C3) em todos os perfis. Na profundidade de 100 cm, com idades entre ~ 6.000 e 5.000 A.P., houve enriquecimento de â 20,2â° a -22,3â°, indicando regressão da floresta e expansão da savana. Valores entre -15,9 e -18,7â° a 50-60 cm, estimado entre ~ 4.700 a 3.800 A.P., sugere máxima expansão da vegetação C4 em resposta às condições climáticas mais secas, exceto no perfil S3 com valores mais empobrecidos (-20,9â°), sugerindo que na depressão, o desenvolvimento da hidromorfia possibilitou a presença de espécies de gramíneas C3 e C4 da savana em resposta as mudanças das condições ambientais.

The results of ecological restoration techniques can be monitored through biological indicators of soil quality such as the leaf litter arthropod fauna. This study aimed to determine the immediate effect of brushwood transposition transferred from an area of native vegetation to a disturbed area, on the leaf litter arthropod fauna in a degraded cerrado area. The arthropod fauna of four areas was compared: a degraded area with signal grass, two experimental brushwood transposition areas, with and without castor oil plants, and an area of native cerrado. In total, 7,660 individuals belonging to 23 taxa were sampled. Acari and Collembola were the most abundant taxa in all studied areas, followed by Coleoptera, Diptera, Hemiptera, Hymenoptera, and Symphyla. The brushwood transposition area without castor oil plants had the lowest abundance and dominance and the highest diversity of all areas, providing evidence of changes in the soil community. Conversely, the results showed that the presence of castor oil plants hampered early succession, negatively affecting ecological restoration in this area.

The Amazon River floodplain is an important source of atmospheric CO2 and CH4. Aquatic herbaceous vegetation (macrophytes) have been shown to contribute significantly to floodplain net primary productivity (NPP) and methane emission in the region. Their fast growth rates under both flooded and dry conditions make herbaceous vegetation the most variable element in the Amazon floodplain NPP budget, and the most susceptible to environmental changes. The present study combines multitemporal Radarsat-1 and MODIS images to monitor spatial and temporal changes in herbaceous vegetation cover in the Amazon floodplain. Radarsat-1 images were acquired from Dec/2003 to Oct/2005, and MODIS daily surface reflectance products were acquired for the two cloud-free dates closest to each Radarsat-1 acquisition. An object-based, hierarchical algorithm was developed using the temporal SAR information to discriminate Permanent Open Water (OW), Floodplain (FP) and Upland (UL) classes at Level 1, and then subdivide the FP class into Woody Vegetation (WV) and Possible Macrophytes (PM) at Level 2. At Level 3, optical and SAR information were combined to discriminate actual herbaceous cover at each date. The resulting maps had accuracies ranging from 80% to 90% for Level 1 and 2 classifications, and from 60% to 70% for Level 3 classifications, with kappa values ranging between 0.7 and 0.9 for Levels 1 and 2 and between 0.5 and 0.6 for Level 3. All study sites had noticeable variations in the extent of herbaceous cover throughout the hydrological year, with maximum areas up to four times larger than minimum areas. The proposed classification method was able to capture the spatial pattern of macrophyte growth and development in the studied area, and the multitemporal information was essential for both separating vegetation cover types and assessing monthly variation in herbaceous cover extent.
