Agricultural activity has direct consequences on the soil and water quality. Thus, assessing environmental impacts of this vital economic activity, through soil attribute analysis, is essential to the proposal of alternatives. The aim of this study was to analyze soil quality under different land management practices, conventional and organic. The study was carried out in a watershed of the Ibiuna municipality, SP, Brazil, an important supplier of agricultural products for the São Paulo metropolitan area. A hundred samples were collected, 20 in each type of land use: reforested areas, native vegetation, pasture, conventional cultivation and organic cultivation. The soil resistance to penetration, its pH (in water and KO), electrical conductivity, bulk density, particle density, porosity, soil color, soil texture and the percentages of carbon and nitrogen were analyzed. The data were statistically analyzed, searching for significant differences. The results of soil analysis showed great similarity between the organic and conventional culture, with no statistical differences. However, organic cultivation showed greater similarity to the soil of native vegetation in the percentage of carbon and nitrogen in soils compared to conventional culture. Thus, the discussion begins on a topic very little explored so far, and the results obtained should be further studied.

The hydrogen gas is regarded as clean and renewable energy source, since it generates only water during combustion when used as fuel. It shows 2.75 times more energy content than any hydrocarbon and it can be converted into electrical, mechanical energy or heat. Inoculum sources have been successfully tested for hydrogen biological production in temperate climate countries as sludge treatment plants sewage, sludge treatment plant wastewater, landfill sample, among others. However, hydrogen biologic production with inoculum from environmental samples such as sediment reservoirs, especially in tropical countries like Brazil, is rarely investigated. Reservoirs and fresh water lake sediment may contain conditions for the survival of a wide variety of microorganisms which use different carbon sources mainly glucose and xylose, in the fermentation. Glucose is an easily biodegradable, present in most of the industrial effluents and can be obtained abundantly from agricultural wastes. A wide variety of wastewater resulting from agriculture, industry and pulp and paper processed from wood may contain xylose in its constitution. Such effluent contains glucose and xylose concentrations of about 2 g/L. In this sense, this work verified hydrogen biological production in anaerobic batch reactor (1L), at 37 ° C, initial pH 5.5, headspace with N2 (100%), Del Nery medium, vitamins and peptone (1 g/L), fed separately with glucose (2g/L) and xylose (2 g/L). The inoculum was taken from environmental sample (sediment reservoir Itupararanga - Ibiúna - SP-Brazil). It was previously purified in serial dilutions at H2 generation (10-5, 10-7, 10-10), and heat treated (90º C - 10 min) later to inhibited the H2 consumers. The maximum H2 generations obtained in both tests were observed at 552 h, as described below. At the reactors fed with glucose and xylose were observed, respectively, 9.1 and 8.6 mmol H2/L, biomass growth (0.2 and 0.2 nm); consumption of sugar concentrations 53.6% (1.1 glucose g/L) and 90.5% (1.8 xylose g/L); acetic acid generation (124.7 mg/L and 82.7 mg/L), butyric acid (134.0 mg/L and 230.4 mg/L) and there wasn’t methane generation in the reactors. Microscopic analysis of biomass in anaerobic reactors showed the predominance of Gram positive rods and rods with endospores, whose morphology is characteristic of H2-generating bacteria, in both tests. These species were selected from the natural environment. In DGGE analysis performed difference were observed between populations from inoculum and in tests. This analysis confirmed that some species of bacteria were selected which remained under the conditions imposed on the experiment. The efficiency of the pre-treatment of inoculum and the imposition of pH 5.5 inhibited methane-producing microorganisms and the consumers of H2. Therefore, the experimental conditions imposed allowed the attainment of bacterial consortium of producer H2 taken from an environmental sample with concentration of xylose and glucose similar to the ones of the industrial effluents.

Several studies suggest that, on a large scale, relief conditions influence the Atlantic Forest cover. The aim of this work was to explore these relationships on a local scale, in Caucaia do Alto, on the Ibiúna Plateau. Within an area of about 78 km2, the distribution of forest cover, divided into two successional stages, was associated with relief attribute data (slope, slope orientation and altitude). The mapping of the vegetation was based on the interpretation of stereoscopic pairs of aerial photographs, from April 2000, on a scale of 1:10,000, while the relief attributes were obtained by geoprocessing from digitalized topographic maps on a scale of 1:10,000. Statistical analyses, based on qui-square tests, revealed that there was a more extensive forest cover, irrespective of the successional stage, in steeper areas (>10 degrees) located at higher altitudes (>923 m), but no influence of the slope orientation. There was no sign of direct influence of relief on the forest cover through environmental gradients that might have contributed to the forest regeneration. Likewise, there was no evidence that these results could have been influenced by the distance from roads or urban areas or with respect to permanent preservation areas. Relief seems to influence the forest cover indirectly, since agricultural land use is preferably made in flatter and lower areas. These results suggest a general distribution pattern of the forest remnants, independent of the scale of study, on which relief indirectly has a strong influence, since it determines human occupation.

O desenvolvimento do ecoturismo em Unidades de Conservação tem sido considerado uma alternativa para a diminuição dos impactos sobre a biodiversidade, a potencialização da conservação da natureza e a oportunidade de inclusão das populações locais. Nesse sentido, a presente dissertação teve como objetivo geral analisar comparativamente o desenvolvimento das atividades turísticas em três comunidades tradicionais do Núcleo Picinguaba do Parque Estadual da Serra do Mar, localizado no município de Ubatuba (SP), buscando compreender de que forma as populações tradicionais de cada comunidade estão inseridas nessas atividades e qual das três encontra-se mais articulada para o desenvolvimento do ecoturismo. Para obter parâmetros de comparação das comunidades estudadas, foram criados Indicadores de Avaliação do Desenvolvimento do (Eco)turismo, definidos de acordo com algumas premissas básicas de desenvolvimento do ecoturismo e avaliados a partir de entrevistas semiestruturadas com atores locais e observações de campo. Concluiu-se que a comunidade mais bem estruturada para o desenvolvimento do ecoturismo é o Quilombo da Fazenda, apesar de grande parte dos moradores entrevistados não serem contemplados com os benefícios da atividade. A atuação do Parque é mais restrita aos trabalhos realizados pelos monitores ambientais, que atuam principalmente na Praia da Fazenda e Sertão da Fazenda. Dessa forma, é necessário haver medidas voltadas para a melhoria das condições de vida das populações tradicionais do NP, afetadas pela criação da unidade de conservação, que alterou profundamente seu modo de vida, através da proibição de suas atividades. O desenvolvimento do ecoturismo no NP deve ser capaz de gerar empregos e renda para a população local de forma mais abrangente, promovendo o desenvolvimento sustentável e a valorização da cultura local.

Roads facilitate access by deforestation agents, being relevant in studies approaching conservationist matters in rainforests. It is important to understand the relationship between road distribution, relief, land use, and forest coverage in order to evaluate where forests are more vulnerable. This study aimed at: 1) understanding the relationship between relief and density and road connectivity in three moments in time; and 2) evaluating the relationship between distance from roads and forest coverage, farmlands and rural and urban facilities in a fragmented Atlantic Forest landscape in three moments in time. Maps of roads, altitude, and land use and coverage were used. Chi-square tests showed that: 1) density and road connectivity did not present significant relationship with the relief; and 2) forest areas occupy areas distant from the roads, while farmlands and rural and urban facilities occupy areas nearer the roads. Roads and land use, regardless of relief, influence forest coverage distribution. Thus, we suggest that roads are taken into account in conservationist strategies and environmental planning.

Os agricultores têm o importante papel de alimentar uma população crescente, fornecer matéria prima para inúmeras indústrias e para a geração de energia, tudo de forma saudável e sustentável. Também está nas mãos dos agricultores a grande responsabilidade de manter uma área de preservação em suas propriedades para garantir a qualidade do solo e água e conservação da flora e fauna. O novo código florestal - Lei nº. 12.651 de 25 de maio de 2012 - estabelece que todas as propriedades rurais devem manter áreas de reserva legal e de preservação permanente. A Estação Experimental de Holambra, estudada nesta dissertação, segue a Lei vigente. Esta Estação Experimental é uma pequena propriedade da multinacional Syngenta, localizada no município de Holambra, onde são testados agrotóxicos e sementes para fins de registro e pesquisa. Nesta propriedade são seguidas as boas práticas agrícolas, de tal forma que não ocorram contaminações de solo e água ou erosão. As áreas de preservação são de mata nativa e reflorestamento e são mantidas sem perturbações antrópicas. Foram feitos levantamentos da avifauna nas áreas de preservação permanente e de reserva legal nos anos de 2003, 2005, 2010 e 2013. Os dados de levantamento da avifauna indicaram uma tendência de aumento de diversidade e riqueza específica no decorrer dos anos. Além disso, foi visto um aumento de aves florestais, de cerrado e aquáticas, assim como aves com um perfil menos oportunista e de média sensibilidade às alterações antrópicas. Estes dados indicam uma evolução no índice ambiental da área. Apesar do uso intenso de insumos agrícolas na Estação Experimental, não foram encontradas aves mortas ou com sinais de intoxicação. Além disso, foram encontradas diversas aves de topo da cadeia alimentar, que poderiam estar acumulando toxinas, mas que cresceram em riqueza específica durante os levantamentos. Estes dados demonstram que as atividades da estação experimental não estão impactando a avifauna e que a manutenção e cuidado criterioso da área de preservação e seus arredores podem contribuir para a conservação da biodiversidade local.
