Characterization and classification of soils in the Taquari river basin - Pantanal region, state of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil

Among the soils in the Mato Grosso do Sul, stand out in the Pantanal biome, the Spodosols. Despite being recorded in considerable extensions, few studies aiming to characterize and classify these soils were performed. The purpose of this study was to characterize and classify soils in three areas of two physiographic types in the Taquari river basin: bay and flooded fields. Two trenches were opened in the bay area (P1 and P2) and two in the flooded field (P3 and P4). The third area (saline) with high sodium levels was sampled for further studies. In the soils in both areas the sand fraction was predominant and the texture from sand to sandy loam, with the main constituent quartz. In the bay area, the soil organic carbon in the surface layer (P1) was (OC) > 80 g kg-1, being diagnosed as Histic epipedon. In the other profiles the surface horizons had low OC levels which, associated with other properties, classified them as Ochric epipedons. In the soils of the bay area (P1 and P2), the pH ranged from 5.0 to 7.5, associated with dominance of Ca2+ and Mg2+, with base saturation above 50 % in some horizons. In the flooded fields (P3 and P4) the soil pH ranged from 4.9 to 5.9, H+ contents were high in the surface horizons (0.8-10.5 cmol c kg-1 ), Ca2+ and Mg² contents ranged from 0.4 to 0.8 cmol c kg-1 and base saturation was < 50 %. In the soils of the bay area (P1 and P2) iron was accumulated (extracted by dithionite - Fed) and OC in the spodic horizon; in the P3 and P4 soils only Fed was accumulated (in the subsurface layers). According to the criteria adopted by the Brazilian System of Soil Classification (SiBCS) at the subgroup level, the soils were classified as: P1: Organic Hydromorphic Ferrohumiluvic Spodosol. P2: Typical Orthic Ferrohumiluvic Spodosol. P3: Typical Hydromorphic Ferroluvic Spodosol. P4: Arenic Orthic Ferroluvic Spodosol.

Variabilidade genética para caracteres juvenis de progênies de Cedrela fissilis Vell.: subsídio para definição de zonas de coleta e uso de sementes

Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar diferenças genéticas entre três grupos de matrizes de Cedrela fissilis a partir de variáveis quantitativas juvenis em teste de progênies, para delinear zonas de coleta e uso de sementes da espécie na região de estudo, bem como avaliar a variabilidade genética do material amostrado. Instalou-se um teste de progênies, em viveiro, a partir de sementes de 48 matrizes amostradas nos Municípios de Rio Negrinho, Mafra e São Bento do Sul, no Estado de Santa Catarina; e em Lapa, Rio Negro, Campo do Tenente e Antonio Olinto, no Estado do Paraná. Das matrizes coletadas, 33 encontravam-se distribuídas em três grupos espaciais e 15 dispersas na região. O delineamento em blocos casualizados com oito repetições e 20 plantas por parcela foi empregado. Os dados avaliados incluíram: índice de velocidade de emergência, diâmetro do colo e altura das mudas (aos 61, 102 e 145 dias após a semeadura); sobrevivência, número de folhas por muda, massa seca da parte aérea e da raiz e área foliar da terceira folha totalmente expandida a contar do ápice. A metodologia de máxima verossimilhança restrita foi utilizada para a análise estatística, com o auxílio do software SELEGEN. Verificou-se que os caracteres juvenis apresentam elevado controle genético, podendo ser utilizados para avaliação da variabilidade genética de amostras de populações da espécie. Os três grupos de matrizes delimitados espacialmente não apresentam diferenças genéticas significativas, sendo possível inferir que as três áreas pertencem a uma mesma zona de coleta e uso de sementes

O Mercosul sedimentar: sedimentos como produtos de exportação/importação

Devido à falta de bacias de drenagem significativas, a plataforma continental sul-sudeste brasileira foi considerada uma plataforma relíquia, na qual os sedimentos depositados representavam única e exclusivamente o fruto do retrabalhamento de sedimentos depositados em tratos de mar baixo. Nos últimos dez anos, a identificação de depósitos de mudbelts na plataforma continental interna e média, associada com o emprego de novos marcadores geoquímicos, permitiu a quebra desse paradigma, bem como o reconhecimento da importância da Bacia do Rio da Prata como elemento exportador de sedimentos para a margem continental do Atlântico Sudoeste. A utilização de isótopos radioativos, naturais e artificiais permitiu identificar o potencial de exportação de sedimentos de origem basáltica até a latitude de 25o S, permitindo separar, geoquimicamente, duas províncias sedimentares de plataforma, utilizando-se a Ilha de São Sebastião como feição morfológica a marcar essa diferenciação. A continuidade dos estudos, em colunas sedimentares holocênicas permitiu identificar o incremento do aporte do Rio da Prata, sobre a plataforma continental, na transição do Holoceno Médio para o Holoceno Tardio. Finalmente, novos estudos estão sendo propostos para avaliar a exportação desses sedimentos, em direção à bacia oceânica, através dos sistemas de cânions existentes no limite da província sedimentar da plataforma sul

Relationship between Amazon biomass burning aerosols and rainfall over La Plata Basin

High aerosol loads are discharged into the atmosphere by biomass burning in Amazon and Central Brazil during the dry season. These particles can interact with clouds as cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) changing cloud microphysics and radiative properties and, thereby, affecting the radiative budget of the region. Furthermore, the biomass burning aerosols can be transported by the low level jet (LLJ) to La Plata Basin where many mesoscale convective systems (MCS) are observed during spring and summer. This work proposes to investigate whether the aerosols from biomass burning may affect the MCS in terms of rainfall over La Plata Basin during spring. Since the aerosol effect is very difficult to isolate because convective clouds are very sensitive to small environment disturbances, detailed analyses using different techniques are used. The binplot, 2D histograms and combined empirical orthogonal function (EOF) methods are used to separate certain environment conditions with the possible effects of aerosol loading. Reanalysis 2, TRMM-3B42 and AERONET data are used from 1999 up to 2012 during September-December. The results show that there are two patterns associated to rainfall-aerosol interaction in La Plata Basin: one in which the dynamic conditions are more important than aerosols to generate rain; and a second one where the aerosol particles have a role in rain formation, acting mainly to suppress rainfall over La Plata Basin.

Impacto de la afirmación del nuevo modo de acumulación y reproducción del capital en la ciudad de Catriel

En el presente artículo intentaremos mostrar cómo las políticas aplicadas en la Argentina desde 1976, han influído sobre las ciudades/pueblos del país. Específicamente, se intentará ilustrar por medio de un caso concreto, la Ciudad de Catriel, Río Negro, la dinámica de la desconexión de los pueblos-fantasmas de sus circuitos productivos. Así, intentaremos demostrar cómo los cambios estructurales que generaron el nuevo régimen de acumulación y reproducción del capital y su reafirmación, principalmente a través del proceso privatizador de principios de los años ´90, produjeron la polarización de los distintos agentes productivos involucrados en la actividad petrolera.

Impactos de la modernización en los chacareros frutícolas del Alto Valle rionegrino

El objetivo del este trabajo es conocer los comportamientos productivos de los chacareros frutícolas, de cara a la modernización diferencial de la actividad. La estrategia metodológica propone un diseño de tipo estructurado, con triangulación de métodos cuanti y cualitativos, sobre una muestra selectiva de productores familiares de la localidad de Allen. El estudio revela que frente a los crecientes requerimientos de calidad y sanidad para la comercialización, emergen una nueva heterogeneización de las posiciones estructurales de los productores familiares capitalizados, con marcada vinculación a los comportamientos laborales familiares complementarios/suplementarios y connotaciones para sus senderos de reproducción social
