Surface mapping, organic matter and water stocks in peatlands of the Serra do Espinhaço meridional - Brazil

Peatlands are soil environments that store carbon and large amounts of water, due to their composition (90 % water), low hydraulic conductivity and a sponge-like behavior. It is estimated that peat bogs cover approximately 4.2 % of the Earth's surface and stock 28.4 % of the soil carbon of the planet. Approximately 612 000 ha of peatlands have been mapped in Brazil, but the peat bogs in the Serra do Espinhaço Meridional (SdEM) were not included. The objective of this study was to map the peat bogs of the northern part of the SdEM and estimate the organic matter pools and water volume they stock. The peat bogs were pre-identified and mapped by GIS and remote sensing techniques, using ArcGIS 9.3, ENVI 4.5 and GPS Track Maker Pro software and the maps validated in the field. Six peat bogs were mapped in detail (1:20,000 and 1:5,000) by transects spaced 100 m and each transect were determined every 20 m, the UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator) coordinates, depth and samples collected for characterization and determination of organic matter, according to the Brazilian System of Soil Classification. In the northern part of SdEM, 14,287.55 ha of peatlands were mapped, distributed over 1,180,109 ha, representing 1.2 % of the total area. These peatlands have an average volume of 170,021,845.00 m³ and stock 6,120,167 t (428.36 t ha-1) of organic matter and 142,138,262 m³ (9,948 m³ ha-1) of water. In the peat bogs of the Serra do Espinhaço Meridional, advanced stages of decomposing (sapric) organic matter predominate, followed by the intermediate stage (hemic). The vertical growth rate of the peatlands ranged between 0.04 and 0.43 mm year-1, while the carbon accumulation rate varied between 6.59 and 37.66 g m-2 year-1. The peat bogs of the SdEM contain the headwaters of important water bodies in the basins of the Jequitinhonha and San Francisco Rivers and store large amounts of organic carbon and water, which is the reason why the protection and preservation of these soil environments is such an urgent and increasing need.

House File 811 Legislative Report, December 14, 2009

The department of Human Services provides child protective and child welfare services to eligible families in the state of Iowa. Children ages 0-17 may receive services that include child protective assessments, child in need of assistance, safety plan services, family safety, risk and permanency services, foster care and case management. A confirmed child abuse assessment may lead to involvement with juvenile court via an adjudication hearing. The court provides oversight and support to the family to increase safety for the children. Al child abuse assessments, regardless of disposition, are sent to juvenile court for review and information.

Crescimento de Milhos Transgênico (Bt) e Não Transgênico Inoculados com Fungos Micorrízicos Arbusculares em Solo Contaminado por Cádmio

RESUMO Com o crescimento populacional, aumenta-se a necessidade da produção de alimentos; paralelamente, observa-se o uso indiscriminado de fertilizantes e incorporação de plantas transgênicas no sistema produtivo. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito do cádmio no crescimento de milho transgênico Bt e não transgênico, inoculados com fungos micorrízicos arbusculares em condições controladas. Para isso, instalou-se um experimento em esquema fatorial 5 × 4 × 2, sendo cinco doses de Cd (0; 28,5; 71,50; 142,50; e 285 mg kg-1Cd), inoculação individual de espécies de fungos micorrízicos arbusculares - FMAs (Glomus clarum, Acaulospora scrobiculatae Scutellospora heterogama) e um controle não inoculado; duas cultivares de milho Monsanto, DKB-390 (Bt) e DKB-S, e três repetições por tratamento, totalizando 120 unidades experimentais compostas de recipientes plásticos de 500 mL cada. O experimento foi conduzido por 45 dias, avaliando-se, em seguida, atributos relacionados ao crescimento vegetativo e de colonização micorrízica. As doses de Cd não influenciaram o crescimento de milho transgênico Bt e não transgênico, independentemente da inoculação de FMAs. O milho transgênico Bt não respondeu à inoculação, com colonização micorrízica entre 14 e 33 %, quando comparada a do milho não transgênico, entre 32 e 74 %.
