O sucesso de uma espécie em um hábitat é dependente de seu desempenho ecofisiológico, que pode ser definido com variáveis de crescimento, que, por sua vez, pode relacionar-se aos recursos naturais disponíveis. Um dos fatores determinantes da ocorrência de espécies é o fator edáfico. A baixa fertilidade do solo das fisionomias do Cerrado são semelhantes, mostrando altos teores de alumínio (Al3+) e baixo pH. Contudo, solos de matas de brejo, onde Styrax pohlii é freqüente, apresentam teores levemente maiores de matéria orgânica. Logo, é possível que esta maior fertilidade do solo possa influenciar o crescimento de S. pohlii, podendo explicar sua maior ocorrência nestes hábitats. Objetivou-se medir a biomassa de órgãos, área foliar, número de folhas, área foliar específica, razão de massa de folhas e a razão de área foliar de plantas de S. pohlii, submetidas a diferentes cargas de nutrientes em cultivo hidropônico. Testou-se a hipótese de que diferentes cargas de nutrientes (100%, 50%, 25%, 10% e 1% da concentração total de uma solução nutritiva) alteram as variáveis de crescimento da espécie. As plantas foram cultivadas em caixas plásticas (20 L), contendo as diferentes cargas de nutrientes, em solução nutritiva com alumínio (Al3+) e pH 4,0. Utilizaram-se 20 parcelas (caixas plásticas) com cinco repetições (plantas) por parcela, perfazendo um total de 100 plantas. Realizaram-se quatro coletas (a cada 30 dias), onde as variáveis foram medidas. Os resultados mostraram que a espécie não respondeu a incrementos de nutrientes na solução nutritiva, podendo ela ser considerada não plástica a fatores edáficos. Considerando a grande ocorrência de indivíduos de S. pohlii em matas ripárias, ciliares e de brejo, os resultados sugerem que a fertilidade levemente maior nesses ambientes, dada pela elevação da matéria orgânica, não explica totalmente sua maior ocorrência nessas vegetações

In 2010 Brazil produced about 60.8 million of municipal solid waste, an amount 6.8% higher than in 2009 and six times the rate of urban population growth recorded in the same period. According to a study by the Brazilian Association of Companies of Special Wasteand Public Cleansing (Abrelpe), the average waste generated per person in the same period the country was 378 Kilograms, an amount 5.3% higher to 2009 (359 Kg). The total reached 60.8 milion tons of waste, 6.5 million tons were collected and not end up inrivers, streams and vacant lots. Of this total production, 42.4% or 22.9 million Tons, did not receive proper destination and destiny had dumps and landfills. The data show that the country is in upward trend in waste generation, but did not advance the appropriate destination at the same pace. The waste thus throw open cause public helth problems, such as proliferation of disease vectors (flies, mosquitoes, cockroaches, rats, and others). Generation of odors and especially the pollution of soil, surface water and groundwater through slurry ( liquid black, smelly and high pollution potential produced by the decomposition of organic matter contained in waste), affecting the water. This Study shows the popper closure of the areas, wich long has been degrading our natural resources, not to cause damage to nature and therefore society

The study of mathematical modeling assists in evaluation of the capacity of production and measurement of generation time of biogas in landfills, enabling the implantation of projects of energy generation from methane. Thus, the work aims, by simulating scenarios of potential methane generation in the landfill in Rio Claro, the use of field data from methane flow and waste grounded parameters as references for selecting values of k e L0 used to estimate methane generation model in LandGEM. As a result it was found that compared the characteristics adopted in the four scenarios recommended by the USEPA literature with those found in the landfill of Rio Claro (high amount of organic matter in the waste landed and daily practice of leachate recirculation), the scenario that apparently better represent the rate of methane generation is the scenario 01, with k = 0.7 and L0 = 96. Now, the adjustment of parameters in relation to the data field of methane flow, the value of L0 which best fits the methane generation from the landfill in Rio Claro is 150, while for k the line behavior that best represents the reality are values between 0.7 and 0.3. Regarding the parameters of the waste grounded, between the suggested values of k, 0,3 is most consistent with the intermediate level of biological degradation of the residue grounded, while L0 due to the biodegradability of the waste, a new value between 120 and 150 may be more appropriate for the study

O Brasil possui um enorme potencial de plantas medicinais usadas popularmente e ainda pouco estudadas pela comunidade científica. Dentro da família Polygonaceae, destaca-se a espécie Polygonum punctatum Ell., conhecida popularmente como erva-de-bicho, acataia, cataia, capiçoba, pimenta-do brejo ou pimenta-da-água. Essa espécie é perene e encontrada em lugares úmidos ou inundados, desenvolvendo-se preferencialmente em solo de boa fertilidade, areno-argiloso ou argiloso e com bom teor de matéria orgânica. É originária da Ásia e encontra-se aclimatada no Brasil em todos os Estados, particularmente no Rio Grande do Sul, Sul e Sudeste (LOPES et al., 2003). Há relatos de que na medicina popular faz-se o uso de todas as partes da planta para as mais diversas finalidades, tais como: antidisentérica, antisséptica, detersiva, diurética, antitérmica, anti-reumática, vermífuga e excelente cicatrizante de feridas e úlceras. E que por ser fortemente emenagoga e abortiva, seu uso não é recomendado para gestantes (MORGAN, 1984). Dentre as propriedades terapêuticas relatadas, destaca-se também o uso no tratamento de problemas circulatórios, visto que ela estimula a circulação e diminui a fragilidade capilar, e que por isso, apresenta um efeito hemostático bastante útil no tratamento de hemorróidas (TESKE e TRENTINI, 1995). No entanto, plantas medicinais utilizadas popularmente necessitam de estudos científicos que comprovem sua eficácia, segurança e qualidade. A espécie Polygonum acre H.B.K. (sinonímia de Polygonum punctatum Ell) possui poucos estudos científicos comprovando essa vasta utilização na medicina popular, sendo assim, se faz necessário estudar atentamente seus extratos e óleos essenciais, bem como associar a estes, estudos fitoquímicos e de identificação anatômica e morfológica para que não haja problemas que comprometam a qualidade e a eficácia...

The organic wastes need to be adequately managed, in order to avoid the environmental pollution and damage to the public health. So, this work aimed to study the composting process using two methods: manual and mechanized, for the treatment of bovine ruminal waste. This residue is generated in large proportions during the bovine slaughter process, and it can lead environmental degradation and contamination, or even damage to the public health, when not treated. For the initial adjustment of the composting parameters, it was incorporated the residue of coffee husks. The manual composting system was done by the manually aerated piles, while the mechanized composting system was done in a reactor coupled to a compressor that enabled the aeration of the system. The proportions used in both systems were: 90% bovine rumen (R) and 10% coffe husks (CC); 85% bovine rumen and 15% coffe husks; 80% bovine rumen and 20% coffe husks. The parameters determined during the monitoring of the composting process were: temperature, pH, moisture, organic matter, ash, organic carbon, Kjeldahl nitrogen and C/N ratio. The results obtained during the monitoring of the piles and reactors presented similar behavior, except for the parameters Kjeldahl nitrogen and C/N ratio. When compared to the “Instrução Normativa no 25 de 23/07/2009 do Ministério da Agricultura, Pecuária e Abastecimento”, the organic produced composts with the best results were: pile 2 (85% R; 15% CC) and reactors 1 (90% R; 10% CC) e 2 (85% R; 15% CC)

A parameter commonly used in investigations of environmental magnetism is the magnetic susceptibility (MS), which is the quantitative measure of the ability of magnetization of a specific material in the presence of an induced magnetic field. The present study aimed to determine the magnetic susceptibility of sediments collected on the continental shelf near the Santos Basin, southeast of the São Sebastião island (25°57.97’S 45°07.81'W), seeking to identify the possible source area of terrigenous sediments and the flow patterns of siliciclastic sediment yield in the area. It was used particle size analysis and contents of organic matter and calcium carbonate to characterize the sediments, besides paleomagnetism parameters. The analyzed material - core NAP61-1 - was collected using the piston corer sampler in 60 meters water depth, recovering 3.98 meters of sediment core. As from experiments, cyclicity was observed in relative abundance between sand and silt, most likely due to rapid and cyclical variations in the depositional environment. In general, the MS values are low, and show that the sand supply (terrigenous material) has a certain consistency, probably having the same origin. More absolute age is still necessary to establish clearly the events marked here

This work presents the objective of producing organic fertilizer from the waste generated at FCT/UNESP and its use in the growing sunflower. For this, there were collected wastes of pruning/weeding and organic waste from the canteen. It were made two types of treatments, one conventional and the other mechanized, using three mass ratios: ratio 1 (30% wastes of pruning/weeding (RP) + 70% organic waste (RC)), ratio 2 (50% RP + 50% RC) and ratio 3 (70% RP + 30% RC). The conventional system was done windrow with turning manual and the mechanized system was developed in reactors by injecting compressed air. The compounds produced were analyzed in terms of pH, organic matter, organic carbon, mineral residue, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, which could be compared to the values stipulated by the Instrução Normativa n° 25 de 23/07/2009 do Ministério da Agricultura, Pecuária e Abastecimento. The compounds produced were used on growing sunflowers in 14 different conditions for the systems manual and mechanized, totaling 26 treatments with the following proportions...

The present work aimed to study the composting process using two methods of treatment, conventional and mechanized for the treatment of pruning/weeding waste and organic waste generated in the canteens of the FCT/UNESP. For this work, it was quantified the generation of the waste However, of the tests with pure organic compound, which had the best result was T1 - 70% RPC / 30% ROC, again indicating the feasibility of applying this condition in scales at the campus. The conventional treatment by composting was carried out on manual aerated piles: 70% residue pruning/weeding (RPC) and 30% organic waste from the canteen (ROC); 50% RPC / 50% ROC, 30% RPC / 70% ROC. The mechanized system consisted of a reactor of 190 liters – 50% RPC / 50% ROC, with air injection from a compressor for 15 minutes daily. The parameters characterized and monitored were pH, organic matter, organic carbon, ash, nitrogen kjedahl and phosphorus. The temperature measurements were taken daily by a digital thermocouple (top, middle and base of the piles and reactor)... (Completo abstract click electronic access below)

A consequence of population growth is the increased generation of solid waste, which requires environmentally and economically viable suitable disposal sites. The scarcity of such sites makes necessary to adopt non-generation measures, reduction, reuse , recycling and treatment of solid waste before final disposal of waste. This paper presents the quantification and qualification of organic waste generated in each sector of the University Restaurant (UR) , by proposing indicators of waste generation per meal (index of waste) . Then, from the characterization of the waste management practices adopted internally, evaluates the potential deployment of the composting process for organic waste, with signaling for opportunities to improve waste management. The diagnosis of waste generation was made based on data collected during the period of 10 days. The waste were classified into 3 groups (organic, recyclable and waste) in each sector of the restaurant ( pre preparation , kitchen and tray return) . The results reveal that 33 % of the waste generated in the UR currently has the potential to be composted in a suitable place on campus. Every meal served generat approximately 124g of waste, of which 35g are organic waste of the pre preparation sector, 49g are remnants of food in the tray’s return and 40g are other kinds of waste, including recyclable and non recyclable. You can still get a higher percentage of compostable if the trays pre-wash is not performed with detergent and water. To minimize the generation of waste trays can be replaced by plates and skimmers and ladles can be replaced by smaller ones. The food exposed in the counter but not consumed, can be distributed to students after the restaurant is closed so this material would not be disposed in the garbage

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo descrever a estrutura fitossociológica do estrato herbáceo, de diferentes manchas que definem o mosaico da vegetação de um trecho do Ribeirão Claro e seu afluente Jardim Bandeirantes, analisando a diversidade das comunidades no tempo e no espaço, a dominância e a distribuição das espécies, estabelecendo relações com variáveis ambientais edáficas (umidade, pH e teor de matéria orgânica) e microclimáticas (luminosidade, cobertura de dossel e declividade), a fim de estudar a estrutura, composição e os processos sucessionais desta fitocenose. Foram definidas 13 manchas de vegetação como foco de estudo, em cada uma foram dispostas 6 parcelas de 5x5m perfazendo uma extensão de 30 m perpendicularmente ao rio. No interior das parcelas foram levantadas todas as formas de vida vegetais abaixo de 1,5m de altura, aplicando-se um método de avaliação de cobertura (método do toque), onde a amostragem foi realizada em intervalos de 0,5m. Os indivíduos foram amostrados com indicação do seu hábito e classificação taxonômica. As quantificações foram realizadas tanto no período chuvoso quanto no período seco, com a finalidade de entender a dinâmica sazonal dessa comunidade. A comunidade estudada apresentou variação em sua composição e estrutura no que se refere às estações seca e chuvosa. Os parâmetros ambientais analisados mostraram uma heterogeneidade física nas fisionomias descritas, o que pode estar contribuindo para a diferenciação na distribuição das espécies amostradas em cada fisionomia. Com base no inventário realizado, envolvendo a vegetação marginal do trecho estudado do Ribeirão Claro e seu tributário Jardim Bandeirantes, em duas estações distintas, os dados mostraram maiores variações da cobertura herbácea nas fitocenoses em estágios sucessionais mais avançados...

A new approach to generating clean energy has been studied by several researchers, among which one can highlight the steam reforming of biogas. The Biogas is result of decomposition of organic matter and it hasn’t been availed in the global level, instead, the biogas has been burned in flare or discarded into the atmosphere providing damage to the environment. The generation of vector biogas energy can be realized through its steam reforming and this work examines briefly the types of digesters used for biogas generation, studying the process of steam reforming to generate hydrogen as energy vector, analyzing each step in detail, seeking to adapt its main features an ethanol reformer for a biogas reformer. Besides this it is estimated the yield of the reform process and the boiler efficiency for efficiency of the process

This work aimed to develop a biological system for removal of ammonia nitrogen operating at low concentrations of dissolved oxygen. Thus, a biological upflow vertical reactor was built, in which the affluent pass through the support media until the top. Sludge from an anaerobic stabilization pond of a slaughterhouse unit in the city of Presidente Prudente - SP was used as inoculum. Initially the system operated in batch and afterwards in a continuous flow with different HRT. For feeding the reactor, an initial phases was adopted a synthetic culture media, described by Martins (2007), in order to establish the ideal conditions for the development of Anammox bacteria and subsequently, submitted to the system a slugde effluent of slaughterhouse. The results showed significant removal efficiency of N-NH4+, especially in the phase without recirculation of culture media, with an average of 71% removal, with the proportion of removal of N-NH4 +:N-NO2- average 1: 1,69. For the period of operation with effluent from the slaughterhouse, were not obtained satisfactory results, without confirmation of the proliferation of Anammox bacteria in the system, due to the high presences of organic matter in the same confirmed by high concentrations of COD

In the present study it was investigated, in plant and population scale, the relationship between the amount of resource and body size, species diversity and abundance and biomass of bruchids and their parasitoids. Possible effects of resource quality (soil quality and concentration of tannins in seeds) in response to the variables mentioned above were also analyzed. Mimosa bimucronata fruits were collected in two areas during the occurrence of bruchids during the years 2009 and 2010. Only the species of bruchid Acanthoscelides schrankiae was found infesting the fruits of M. bimucronata. The parasitoids belong to families Braconidae, Encyrtidae, Eulophidae, Eupelmidae, Eurytomidae and Pteromalidae. Most local-level analysis showed no significant results for both years of collection and study areas. There was only significant result for the relationship between the biomass of parasitoids and the concentration of tannins considering the year 2009 (negative trend). The soil from Lageado showed higher percentages of silt and clay. With respect to chemical analysis, pH, cation exchange capacity, and concentrations of organic matter, potassium, calcium and magnesium were all significantly higher in soil from Lageado. Therefore, it was found that the plants from Lageado are growing in more fertile soils. However, it was found that the amount of fruits and seeds was significantly higher in Rubião. Comparisons of the abundance of bruchids and parasitoids diversity among the areas that showed the highest values were observed in Rubião. In this study it was found that the abundance of bruchids and parasitoids, as well as the diversity of parasitoids was greatest in the area that had higher amounts of fruits and seeds, suggesting a significant relationship between the amount of resources and the abundance and diversity. However, it is possible that ...(Complete abstract click electronic access below)

O presente estudo teve como objetivos principais analisar a biodiversidade de macroinvertebrados bentônicos em diferentes pontos localizados no fundo da Lagoa do Mian, zona de desembocadura do rio Paranapanema, na Represa de Jurumirim, Estado de São Paulo. Nove pontos de amostragem ao longo da lagoa foram selecionados, distribuídos em três transectos. Cada transecto possuía um ponto na margem direita, um ponto na margem esquerda e um ponto no meio. As coletas foram realizadas em dois períodos do ano, um em março e outro em agosto, para fins de comparação. 2009 representou um ano atípico com relação aos níveis pluviométricos, ocorrendo chuvas intensas no período de julho (um mês tipicamente seco). Foram medidas as variáveis físico-químicas da água, tais como: transparência, profundidade, oxigênio dissolvido, pH, condutividade elétrica e temperatura. Foram recolhidas amostras do sedimento para análise da fauna bentônica e análise do sedimento (quantidade de matéria orgânica presente e granulometria) utilizando-se a draga de Petersen. O material foi triado sob microscópio estereoscópico. A seguir, foi feita a identificação e contagem dos indivíduos. Medidas de densidade, abundância relativa, riqueza, diversidade e equitabilidade foram calculadas. A análise mostrou maior abundância dos táxons no mês de agosto, apontando para a predominância de alguns grupos, como Chaoboridae, Nematoda, Oligochaeta e Chironomidae, este último apenas no segundo mês de coleta. A distribuição dos organismos foi mais significativamente influenciada pela a condutividade elétrica da água, pela transparência, pelo oxigênio dissolvido e por características do sedimento
