Este trabalho apresenta as características do meio físico da Bacia do Rio Bacanga, localizada na cidade de São Luís (MA). Dentro da compartimentação geomorfológica regional, a área insere-se no Golfão Maranhense, sendo caracterizada por duas unidades de relevo: colinas dissecadas a partir dos tabuleiros e planícies flúvio-marinhas. Os estudos objetivaram a elaboração de um mapa geológico- geotécnico, fundamentado no método do detalhamento progressivo, sendo integradas as informações geológicas, geomorfológicas e de solos em uma base topográfica na escala de 1:20.000. Para esses estudos foi utilizada como ferramenta principal a fotointerpretação detalhada, associada ao controle de campo e ensaio in situ. No mapa resultante foram caracterizadas seis unidades geológico-geotécnicas: Unidade I – depósitos construídos; Unidade II – áreas planas de fundo de vales; Unidade III – terrenos associados à fácies arenosa da Formação Barreiras; Unidade IV – fácies areno-argilosa da Formação Barreiras; Unidade V – área de domínio da fácies areno-argilosa da Formação Barreiras; Unidade VI – domínio da Formação Itapecuru. Nas unidades foram identificados os processos geológicos e os problemas ambientais que compõem a dinâmica da bacia do Rio Bacanga. O mapa elaborado é uma das ferramentas indispensáveis para subsidiar o planejamento do uso e ocupação do solo. Palavras-chave: mapeamento geológico-geotécnico, relevo de tabuleiro, Rio Bacanga, São Luís (MA).

AIM: In this study, we evaluated and compared community attributes from a tropical deforested stream, located in a pasture area, in a period before (PRED I) and three times after (POSD I, II, and III) a flash flood, in order to investigate the existence of temporal modifications in community structure that suggests return to conditions previous to the flash flood. METHODS: Biota samples included algae, macrophytes, macroinvertebrates, and fish assemblages. Changes in stream physical structure we also evaluated. Similarity of the aquatic biota between pre and post-disturbance periods was examined by exploratory ordination, known as Non-Metric Multidimensional Scaling associated with Cluster Analysis, using quantitative and presence/absence Bray-Curtis similarity coefficients. Presence and absence data were used for multivariate correlation analysis (Relate Analysis) in order to investigate taxonomic composition similarity of biota between pre and post-disturbance periods. RESULTS: Our results evidenced channel simplification and an expressive decrease in richness and abundance of all taxa right after the flood, followed by subsequent increases of these parameters in the next three samples, indicating trends towards stream community recovery. Bray-Curtis similarity coefficients evidenced a greater community structure disparity among the period right after the flood and the subsequent ones. Multivariate correlation analysis evidenced a greater correlation between macroinvertebrates and algae/macrophytes, demonstrating the narrow relation between their recolonization dynamics. CONCLUSIONS: Despite overall community structure tended to return to previous conditions, recolonization after the flood was much slower than that reported in literature. Finally, the remarkably high flood impact along with the slow recolonization could be a result of the historical presence of anthropic impacts in the region, such as siltation, riparian forest complete depletion, and habitat simplification, which magnified the effects of a natural disturbance.

Algae bloom is one of the major consequences of the eutrophication of aquatic systems, including algae capable of producing toxic substances. Among these are several species of cyanobacteria, also known as blue-green algae, that have the capacity to adapt themselves to changes in the water column. Thus, the horizontal distribution of cyanobacteria harmful algae blooms (CHABs) is essential, not only to the environment, but also for public health. The use of remote sensing techniques for mapping CHABs has been explored by means of bio-optical modeling of phycocyanin (PC), a unique inland waters cyanobacteria pigment. However, due to the small number of sensors with a spectral band of the PC absorption feature, it is difficult to develop semi-analytical models. This study evaluated the use of an empirical model to identify CHABs using TM and ETM+ sensors aboard Landsat 5 and 7 satellites. Five images were acquired for applying the model. Besides the images, data was also collected in the Guarapiranga Reservoir, in São Paulo Metropolitan Region, regarding the cyanobacteria cell count (cells/mL), which was used as an indicator of CHABs biomass. When model values were analyzed excluding calibration factors for temperate lakes, they showed a medium correlation (R²=0.81, p=0.036), while when the factors were included the model showed a high correlation (R²=0.96, p=0.003) to the cyanobacteria cell count. The empirical model analyzed proved useful as an important tool for policy makers, since it provided information regarding the horizontal distribution of CHABs which could not be acquired from traditional monitoring techniques.
