Esta obra reúne trabalhos de pesquisadores de três universidades públicas brasileiras apresentados durante o I Colóquio de Pesquisas do Núcleo de Estudos Agrários da Unesp de Rio Claro, realizado em outubro de 2010. Organizada por Darlene Aparecida de Oliveira Ferreira, Enéas Rente Ferreira e Adriano Corrêa Maia, pretende compreender a realidade agrária brasileira contemporânea a partir de suas principais características, considerando o passado e o presente. A obra mostra que a diversidade espacial é umas das marcas importantes do sistema, com o mundo rural organizado distintamente em contextos regionais e atrelando culturas a áreas específicas. Por isso, os trabalhos tratam também de contextos espaciais historicamente construídos, dos quais emergem novos atores sociais ou se consolidam os detentores de estruturas passadas. As pesquisas identificam principalmente as características e as tendências da geografia agrária no Brasil do início do século XXI, os processos, como produção e migração, os usos modernos do espaço agrícola (como o turismo rural) e o papel atual das pequenas propriedades na agricultura brasileira.

Urban homegardens are green areas of households within the city limits and they have the potential to provide families with a cheap alternative for diet improvement, and to complement the income of the families who sell cultivated products. This research analyzes the contributions of old urban homegardens on food consumption and household economy. Data related to homegardens composition were collected by interviews and by collecting cultivated plants. Diets were assessed through a retrospective method (last 24 hours food recall) and administered every two months, during a year, to include seasonal variations. The diet of the sampled population was found to be dependent on certain foods, indicating a narrow food niche (Levins index = 25.9; Levins standardized index = 0.23). Variations in interviewees' diet are related to the consumption of fruits and vegetables, which are partly supplied by homegardens. Spices and teas consumed were obtained from homegardens, revealing its importance in food consumption and health. Among the 98 species found in homegardens, only 38% appeared in the interviewees' diet, indicating an under-exploitation of these homegardens. Our study found that the main role of homegardens is to supply variation in the diet, contributing to the consumption of different types of products.

This study focuses on the presence of radon (Rn-222) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in soil gases at a gas station located in the city of Rio Claro, Sao Paulo, Brazil, where a fossil fuel leak occurred. The spatial distribution results show a correlation between Rn-222 and VOCs, consistent with the fact that radon gas has a greater chemical affinity with organic phases than with water. This finding demonstrates that the presence of a residual hydrocarbon phase in an aquifer can retain radon, leading to a reduced radon content in the soil gas. The data in this study confirm the results of previous investigations, in which the method used in this study provided a preliminary fingerprint of a contaminated area. Furthermore, the data analysis time is brief, and only simple equipment is required. (C) 2014 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

The contamination of underground waters is a subject of great importance, since a lot of people use this kind of source for public supply. This paperwork manages with how gas stations can contaminate these waters and what are some remediation techniques, used nowadays to solve this problem. The contamination caused by the gas stations can have its origin in the underground storage tanks when they suffer corrosion and show leaking problems. It’s a topic of great relevance, because the hydrocarbons derivated from petroleum present in the fuels can stay for a long time in the environment. Besides that, an analyses of the risk of contamination by gas stations in the city of Rio Claro was made based on three parameters: density of the gas stations, depth of the underground water and hydraulic conductivity. To achieve such goal, maps were elaborated considering those parameters individually and considering the three of them together. Analyzing those maps, it was concluded see that the spots that represent the biggest risks of contamination in Rio Claro are located southeast and center-west.

Apesar da reconhecida importância e utilização de inúmeros grupos de insetos como indicadores de qualidade de habitat, e da importância das análises das estruturas da paisagem para auxiliar a explicar os padrões de distribuição e biodiversidade de espécies, poucos estudos exploram os efeitos das matrizes sobre a vegetação nativa na distribuição das espécies de maneira gradual. O presente estudo tem por objetivo avaliar como a comunidade dos besouros da subfamília Scarabaeinae responde à transição e mudança de ambiente de fragmentos de cerrado à matriz. Foram amostradas 15 paisagens com vegetação de cerrado no interior paulista, sendo a riqueza e abundância registrada para cada região. A diferença de riqueza encontrada entre a matriz e o cerrado foi marginalmente significativa (p=0,0767), enquanto que diferença na abundância foi significativa (p=0,0024) e em ambos os casos, foram maiores para os fragmentos de cerrado em relação às matrizes. Foi analisado se um modelo de gradiente matriz-borda-interior do fragmento (M-B-I) explicaria melhor a abundância de besouros do que um modelo de quebra entre fragmento e matriz (Fragmento- Matriz). Apesar dos resultados mostrarem que o segundo modelo explicou um maior número de paisagens, o fato do modelo M-B-I explicar parte delas sugere a importância deste tipo de abordagem em forma de gradiente. Este estudo, além de levantar informações importantes sobre a distribuição espacial de escarabeíneos em paisagens fragmentadas, traz luz a como este grupo pode responder positivamente ao gradiente matriz-borda-interior; tais informações seguramente podem auxiliar significativamente em ações de cunho conservacionista e ainda orientar estratégias de restauração em paisagens fragmentadas de cerrado do interior paulista

The family Chironomidae is one of the most important groups within the macroinvertebrate communities, both in density and in richness, and because of its high adaptive value, has a wide distribution on the planet. These and other more specific features of each genus allow the use of this group of biomonitoring studies in the aquatic ecosystem, however, primarily, it is necessary to inventory the aquatic fauna. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the taxonomic composition of Chironomidae associated with Eichhornia azurea in six lateral lagoons of Paranapanema River, where only five of them have very little information about the aquatic fauna associated with floating macrophytes. Furthermore, we analyzed the influence of environmental conditions on the richness and density of this community. Samples (biotic and abiotic) were held in March and August 2009 on the Ivo, Carmo, Sete Ilhas, Barbosa, Poço da Pedra and Coqueiral lagoons, which are upstream of the Jurumirim Reservoir. Samples with an area of 0.1976 m2 were collected at three banks of E. azurea of each lagoon. Then, they were washed in formaldehyde and water and fixed in 70% alcohol. The identification of morphospecies recorded 38 taxa (32 in March and 37 in August), where the Ivo lagoon is the richest (27 taxa). The density of each group varied according to each pond and is generally Asheum sp., Chironomus sp., Beardius sp., Parachironomus sp., Labrundinia sp., Tanytarsus sp., Ablabesmyia sp. and Polypedilum sp. the most representative. Limnophyes sp., Denopelopia sp., Paratanytarsus sp. and Parametriocnemus sp. were genders in lower density. The Dominance index ranged between 0.1490 (Barbosa Lagoon in March) and 0.4114 (Poço da Pedra Lagoon in March), and the Diversity Index ranged from 2.08 (Coqueiral Lagoon in March) and 3.58 (Barbosa Lagoon in August). The concentration of dissolved oxygen and pH were the environmental variables most correlated with the groups ...
