Para compreender alguns pontos sobre sua autoecologia, foram analisadas a distribui??o espacial, a fenologia e as intera??es ecol?gicas entre a esp?cie e insetos end?fagos. O estudo foi realizado em tr?s ?reas pertencentes ? Universidade Federal dos Vales do Jequitinhonha e Mucuri ? UFVJM, localizados no Campus JK, pr?ximo ao C?rrego do Soberbo. A ?rea ? composta por mosaicos de vegeta??o, onde h? predom?nio de afloramentos rochosos e campos ?midos. Em cada ?rea, foram selecionados dez indiv?duos de B. platypoda, sendo cinco indiv?duos de cada sexo, onde, por um per?odo de um ano (set./2010 a set/2011) foram feitas visitas quinzenais para a observa??o dos est?gios fenol?gicos. Nesse per?odo, foram coletados cap?tulos quinzenalmente para cria??o de insetos end?fagos em recipientes vedados com algod?o e que, ap?s a eclos?o, foram conservados em ?lcool 70%; os cap?tulos foram dissecados para an?lise dos danos ?s estruturas florais. Para o estudo da distribui??o espacial, todos os indiv?duos foram localizados por meio das coordenadas x e y de cada planta, com altura ?30 cm atrav?s das dist?ncias, obtidas com uma trena, e identificados quanto ao sexo ou como jovem, pela aus?ncia de estruturas reprodutoras. O padr?o de distribui??o espacial foi determinado atrav?s da Fun??o K de Ripley univariada e bivariada, enquanto que os padr?es fenol?gicos foram determinados atrav?s da an?lise de intensidade de Fournier, correla??o de Spearman e an?lise circular. O padr?o de herbivoria foi analisado atrav?s da an?lise de regress?o linear, teste de Kruskal-Wallis e an?lise de agrupamento pelo m?todo de Two-Way-joining. Foi aplicado o teste de qui-quadrado para o estudo de distribui??o espacial e para o padr?o de herbivoria. Baccharis. platypoda apresentou padr?o agregado com varia??es em escalas diferentes para jovens e adultos e semelhan?a espacial entre indiv?duos de ambos os sexos. No entanto, a independ?ncia espacial entre os indiv?duos da esp?cie se mostrou uma constante. A fenologia reprodutiva da esp?cie esteve associada a algumas vari?veis ambientais (precipita??o e temperatura), enquanto que a fenologia vegetativa, de modo geral, apresentou-se relacionada ? fenologia reprodutiva das esp?cies. Insetos end?fagos apresentaram prefer?ncias quanto ao sexo e est?gio fenol?gico dos cap?tulos, havendo maior preda??o em cap?tulos masculinos e em est?gios mais desenvolvidos. Assim, a esp?cie apresentou correla??o entre a sua distribui??o espacial, os est?gios fenol?gicos (principalmente a fenologia reprodutiva) e os padr?es de ataque de insetos end?fagos, sugerindo a utiliza??o deste conhecimento na elabora??o de poss?veis estrat?gias de preserva??o e manejo. / Disserta??o (Mestrado) ? Programa de P?s-Gradua??o em Ci?ncia Florestal, Universidade Federal dos Vales do Jequitinhonha e Mucuri, 2012. / ABSTRACT This study has as its main goal the understanding of some parameters on the natural history of the Baccharis platypoda species, a unisexual bush belonging to the Asteraceae subdivision, in which both male and female single organisms present sexual dimorphism inhabiting in rupestrian field areas, fields and woodland ciliary edges. In order to have a better understanding on some issues of its auto ecology, spatial, phenology, and ecological interactions between the species, endophage insects have been analyszed. This study took place in three areas belonging to UFVJM - Universidade Federal dos Vales do Jequitinhonha e Mucuri, situated at the JK Campus, by the Soberbo Stream. The area is composed of a miscellany vegetation with the prevalence of protruding rocks and wet fields. Ten B. platypoda organisms were selected from each one of these areas, five from each gender. During one year from september, 2010 to september, 2011 biweekly inspections for the watch of phenological stages were made. During this period of time, biweekly chapters for the production of endophage insects were gathered in cotton sealed containers preserved in alcohol after emergence. The chapters were dissected for the analysis of possible floral composition damages. For the spatial distribution study all the organisms were found through the use of X and Y reference point of each plant with height of 30 cm or over, tape measured, identified as to gender or youth due to absence of reproductive compositions. The spatial distribution pattern was established through the use of Ripley's K Function univariate and bivariate, whereas the phenological patterns were determined through the analysis of Fournier intensity, Spearman's corelation and circular analysis. The herbivory pattern was analyzed through the linear regression analysis, Kruskal-Wallis's test, and the Two-Way-joining method. The chi-square test was used for the study of spatial distribution and for the herbivory pattern. Baccharis. platypoda showed aggregate pattern with variations in different ranges both for young and adults, and also spatial likeness with organisms of both genders. However, there was a steady spatial independence among the organisms of the species. The species reproductive phenology was associated to some environmental variations (precipitation and temperature), whereas the vegetative phenology as a whole was related to the reproductive species phenology. Endophage insects showed preferences as to genger and phonological chapter stages; there was more predation in male chapters in more developed stages. Thus, the species presented correlation among its spatial distribution, phenological stages (mainly the reproductive phenology) and the patterns of phenological insects, suggesting the use of this knowledge in the elaboration of possible strategies for preservation and management.

Em um dos artigos, os autores fizeram uma revis?o da literatura sobre c?ncer e pr?polis, abordando a carcinog?nese experimental induzida quimicamente pelo 9,10-dimetil-1,2-benzantraceno (DMBA), a composi??o qu?mica da pr?polis e seus efeitos quimiopreventivos. O objetivo do artigo de pesquisa foi avaliar a rea??o tecidual da mucosa lingual de hamsters, submetida ? aplica??o di?ria e alternada de DMBA e extrato etan?lico de pr?polis (EEP) de uma apresenta??o comercial. Materiais e m?todos: 60 hamsters foram divididos em tr?s grupos, com dois per?odos experimentais, 13 e 20 semanas. A borda lateral da l?ngua foi submetida ? aplica??o t?pica, di?ria e alternada de DMBA 0,5 % e EEP 30 % (grupo EEP, n = 20), DMBA 0,5 % e extrato aquoso de pr?polis (EAP) (grupo EAP, n = 20), DMBA 0,5 % e soro fisiol?gico (grupo DMBA, n = 20). Realizou-se an?lise da ocorr?ncia dos tipos de altera??es cl?nicas e histol?gicas. Mensurou-se a ?rea e volume das altera??es cl?nicas, a ocorr?ncia das altera??es estruturais (AE) e citol?gicas (AC) do tecido epitelial escamoso com atipias e a ?rea histol?gica dos carcinomas de c?lulas escamosas (CCE). Para a an?lise estat?stica, aplicaram-se os testes ANOVA, qui-quadrado, Kruskal-Wallis e Mann-Whitney. Resultados: Para todas as vari?veis analisadas, n?o houve diferen?as significativas na compara??o entre os grupos nos dois tempos experimentais. Em 13 semanas ocorreu uma ?nica les?o de CCE no grupo EEP. Em 20 semanas, a maior ocorr?ncia de CCE tamb?m foi no grupo EEP. Conclus?o: o EEP, com teor alco?lico de 30 %, favoreceu a rea??o tecidual da inicia??o e da promo??o da carcinog?nese, por mecanismos ainda n?o elucidados. / ABSTRACT This dissertation consists of two papers, the first one is a review and the second is an original paper. In the first article, the authors reviewed the literature on cancer and propolis, addressing experimental carcinogenesis, chemically induced by 9,10-dimethyl-1,2-benzanthracene (DMBA), the chemical composition of propolis and its chemopreventive effects. The aim of the research paper was to evaluate the?tissue response?of tongue mucosa of hamsters, subjected to daily and alternating application of ethanolic extract of propolis (EEP) of a commercial presentation. Materials and methods: 60 hamsters were divided into three groups, and two experimental periods, 13 and 20 weeks. The lateral edge of the tongue underwent daily and alternate topical application of DMBA 0.5% and 30% EEP (EEP group, n = 20), DMBA and 0.5% aqueous extract of propolis (EAP) (EAP group; n = 20), and DMBA 0.5%?saline (DMBA?group, n =?20). The occurrence of types of clinical and histological changes was analysed. The area and volume of clinical changes, the occurrence of structural (AE) and cytological (CA) changes of squamous epithelial tissue with atypia and the histological area of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) were measured. For statistical analysis, ANOVA, chi-square and Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney test were applied. Results: For all variables, there were no significant differences when comparing the groups in the two experimental periods. In 13 weeks, a single lesion of SCC in EEP group was observed. At 20 weeks, the highest occurrence of SCC was also in the group EEP. Conclusion: the EEP, with an alcohol content of 30% favored tissue reaction of initiation and promotion of carcinogenesis by mechanisms not yet elucidated.

No entanto, h? poucas evid?ncias sobre a influ?ncia de problemas bucais no bem-estar biopsicossocial de pr?-escolares e suas fam?lias, sobretudo comparando aqueles que vivem em zonas urbanas e rurais. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar os fatores determinantes da qualidade de vida relacionada ? sa?de bucal (OHRQoL) de crian?as pr?-escolares e suas fam?lias residentes em zona urbana e em zonas rurais de extrema pobreza. Foi realizado um estudo transversal com 391 crian?as, entre dois e cinco anos de idade, das zonas urbana e rural de Diamantina/MG, selecionadas aleatoriamente durante a Campanha Nacional de Vacina??o Infantil. Os pais das crian?as responderam ? vers?o brasileira do Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale (B-ECOHIS) e forneceram dados socioecon?micos. Exames cl?nicos das crian?as foram realizados para avaliar c?rie dent?ria, defeitos de desenvolvimento de esmalte, fluorose dent?ria, les?es ou varia??es de normalidade da mucosa bucal e m? oclus?o. An?lise estat?stica envolveu an?lise descritiva, teste de Mann-Whitney, teste do qui-quadrado e regress?o linear m?ltipla. O n?vel de signific?ncia estabelecido foi de 5%. Os valores m?dios do ECOHIS para cada condi??o bucal avaliada foram: c?rie dent?ria 4.52 (DP=6.84), defeitos de desenvolvimento de esmalte 3,82 (DP=6,86), fluorose dent?ria 4,56 (DP=7,53), les?es ou varia??es da normalidade da mucosa bucal 2,84 (DP=5,46) e m? oclus?o 2,16 (DP=4,56). Diferen?as significativas foram encontradas entre o local de resid?ncia e: g?nero (P = 0,008), n?mero de filhos (P = 0,001) e defeitos de desenvolvimento de esmalte (P = 0,035). Fam?lias da zona rural apresentaram valores significativamente inferiores nos aspectos socioecon?micos (P < 0,005), quando comparadas ? fam?lias da zona urbana. Na zona urbana, foram encontradas associa??es significativas entre impacto na OHRQoL e: idade da crian?a em meses (P = 0,004), g?nero (feminino) (P = 0,034), n?mero de dentes cavitados (P < 0,001) e presen?a de defeitos de desenvolvimento de esmalte (P = 0,004). Na zona rural foi encontrada associa??o significativa somente entre impacto na OHRQoL e n?mero de dentes cavitados (P <0,001). Problemas bucais como c?rie dent?ria e defeitos de desenvolvimento de esmalte afetaram negativamente a qualidade de vida de crian?as pr?-escolares e suas fam?lias. Na zona urbana, o n?mero de dentes cavitados, defeitos de desenvolvimento de esmalte, al?m da idade e g?nero (feminino) contribu?ram para diminui??o da qualidade de vida das crian?as pr?-escolares e suas fam?lias.

However, there is little evidence about the influence of oral health problems on biopsychosocial well-being of preschool children and their families, especially comparing those living in urban and rural areas. The aim of this study was to assess the determinants of oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of preschool children and their families living in urban and rural areas of extreme poverty. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 391 children between two and five years of age, from urban and rural areas in Diamantina/MG randomly selected during the National Immunization Campaign. The children's parents answered the Brazilian version of the Early Childhood Oral Health Impact Scale (B-ECOHIS) and provided socioeconomic data. Clinical examination of the children was conducted to assess dental caries, developmental defects of enamel, dental fluorosis, injury or damage to the oral mucosa and malocclusion. Statistical analysis involved descriptive analysis, Mann-Whitney test, chi-square test and multiple linear regression. Significance level was set at 5%. The mean ECOHIS total scores for each oral condition were: dental caries 4.52 (SD = 6.84), developmental defects of enamel, 3.82 (SD = 6.86), dental fluorosis 4:56 (SD = 7.53), injury or oral mucosa lesions 2.84 (SD = 5.46) and malocclusion 2.16 (SD = 4.56). Significant differences were found between place of residence and: gender (P = 0.008), number of children (P = 0.001) and developmental defects of enamel (P = 0.035). Families from rural area had significantly lower socioeconomic aspects (P <0.005), when compared to families from urban area. In urban areas, significant associations were found between the impact on OHRQoL and children's age in months (P = 0.004), gender (female) (P = 0.034), number of cavitated teeth (P <0.001) and presence of developmental defects of enamel (P = 0.004). In rural areas significant association was found only between the impact on OHRQoL and the number of cavitated teeth (P <0.001). Oral health problems such as dental caries and developmental defects of enamel negatively affected the quality of life of preschool children and their families. In the urban area, number of cavitated teeth, developmental defects of enamel, in addition to age and gender contributed to decreased quality of life of preschool children and their families. In rural areas, only the number of cavitated teeth impaired significantly the daily lives of preschool children and their families.

Os pacientes foram tratados por estudantes de gradua??o na Cl?nica de Endodontia da Universidade Federal dos Vales do Jequitinhonha e Mucuri, entre o per?odo de 2004 a 2009. A reavalia??o cl?nica e radiogr?fica foi realizada entre Setembro de 2010 e Fevereiro de 2011. Foram coletados dados contidos nos prontu?rios odontol?gicos (idade, g?nero, dente tratado, estado periapical pr?-operat?rio, tipo de tratamento, t?cnicas de instrumenta??o e obtura??o empregadas, radiografia final da obtura??o e tipo de restaura??o coron?ria). Clinicamente, foram considerados fatores relacionados a sinais e sintomas endod?nticos, les?es por c?rie, RC e par?metros periodontais. Radiograficamente avaliou-se o estado periapical, les?es por c?rie, RC e pino intrarradicular. Os resultados foram analisados estatisticamente usando os testes qui-quadrado de Pearson, exato de Fisher, McNemar e regress?o log?stica bivariada e multivariada (p<0,05). Foram reavaliados 122 pacientes ap?s per?odo de acompanhamento de 12 a 66 (37,7?16,4) meses, e estes apresentaram 154 dentes tratados endodonticamente. Os dados foram organizados e analisados conforme o desenho de estudo e vari?veis estudadas, sendo apresentados em dois artigos cient?ficos. No geral a taxa de sucesso cl?nico-radiogr?fico do TCR foi de 73,4%. No estudo longitudinal observou-se frequ?ncias elevadas de obtura??es perfeitas (41,6%) e satisfat?rias (46,1%) e frequ?ncia reduzida de obtura??es deficientes (12,3%). A qualidade das obtura??es e das restaura??es coron?rias, analisadas isoladamente, influenciou no sucesso cl?nico-radiogr?fico (p<0,05); a presen?a de pr?via les?o periapical (OR=10,24; IC=3,15-33,22) foi o fator decisivo para o insucesso do tratamento. No estudo transversal observou-se que a presen?a de les?es por c?rie (p=0,017), sangramento gengival ? sondagem (p=0,043) e mobilidade dent?ria (p=0,022) foram os fatores associados ao insucesso do TCR. As outras vari?veis relacionadas ?s les?es por c?rie, RC, qualidade da obtura??o e par?metros cl?nicos periodontais, n?o influenciaram no insucesso do tratamento (p>0,05). Concluiu-se que, no estudo longitudinal, o pr?vio estado periapical foi o principal fator que influenciou o progn?stico do TCR e, no estudo transversal, a presen?a de les?es por c?rie e aspectos periodontais influenciaram negativamente no estado periapical dos dentes tratados endodonticamente. / Disserta??o (Mestrado) ?

The patients were treated by undergraduate students at the Clinic of Endodontics, Federal University of Jequitinhonha and Mucuri Valleys (UFVJM) in the period between 2004-2009. The clinical and radiographic recall was performed between September 2010 and February 2011. Data were collected in records dentistry (age, gender, treated tooth, periapical status preoperative, type of treatment, instrumentation and obturation techniques, final radiography of the filling and the type of coronal restoration). Clinically, factors related to carious lesions, CR and periodontal parameters were considered. Radiographic parameters were evaluated the periapical status, carious lesions, CR and cast post. The results were statistically analyzed using Pearson chi-square, Fisher?s exact and McNemar tests, bivariate and multivariate logistic regression (p<0.05). A total of 122 patients were reassessed after a follow-up of 12-66 (37.7?16.4) months which had 154 endodontically treated teeth. Data were organized and analyzed according to the study design and variables, and are presented in two papers. Overall, the success rate of the RCT was 73.4%. In the longitudinal study it was observed a high frequency of perfect (41.6%) and satisfactory (46.1%) fillings and a reduced frequency of deficient (12.3%) fillings. The quality of fillings and coronal restorations, when analyzed individually, influenced the clinical and radiographic success (p<0,05); preoperative periapical lesion was the main factor for the treatment insuccess (OR=10.24, CI=3.15-33.22). In cross-sectional study it was observed that the presence of carious lesions (p=0.017), gingival bleeding (p=0,043) and tooth mobility (p=0.022) were the factors associated with insuccess of RCT. The other variables related to carious lesions, CR, quality of fillings and periodontal clinical parameters, did not influence the insuccess treatment (p>0.05). In conclusion, the prior periapical status was the main factor affecting the prognosis of the RCT in the longitudinal study and, in the cross-sectional study the presence of carious lesions and periodontal aspects negatively influenced the periapical status of endodontically treated teeth.

Assim a demanda por mat?ria-prima para sustentar os meios de produ??o, tem ?ntima rela??o com a explora??o dos recursos naturais, que realizada de modo inadequado e insustent?vel, gera a degrada??o do meio ambiente. Neste contexto, diante dos desafios que se apresentam para a sustentabilidade, alternativas estas, que tenham efic?cia no seu prop?sito (integra??o dos conhecimentos silviculturais e principios ecol?gicos) e retorno destas ?reas ?s condi??es pr?ximas das originais. O presente trabalho teve como objetivos estudar a din?mica da paisagem e da vegeta??o arbustivo-arb?reo em ?reas sob diferentes tipos de degradada??o em Diamantina, MG. As comunidades das ?reas degradadas pelo garimpo de diamante (ADGD) e ouro (ADGO), assim como, pelo processo de vo?orocamento (ADV) contou com 50 (10 x 10 m), 30 (10 x 10 m) e 36 (5 x 3m) parcelas respectivamente, que no primeiro invent?rio, foram amostrados todos os indiv?duos arb?reo-arbustivo vivos com DAS30 ? 3 cm. No segundo invent?rio, foram registrados os indiv?duos mortos, remensurados os sobreviventes e mensurados e identificados os indiv?duos recrutados. Foram calculadas as taxas de din?mica: mortalidade, recrutamento, ganho e perda em ?rea basal e numero de indiv?duos para cada ?rea. Os valores de H? obtidos para as ?reas foram comparados aos pares pelo teste de t de Hutcheson. Em cada parcela, foi coletada uma amostra composta do substrato superficial (0-20 cm), sendo analisados os par?metros qu?micos: pH em ?gua; teores de P, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+ e Al3+; complexo sortivo (acidez potencial (H +Al), satura??o por bases (V%), soma de bases (SB), CTC a pH 7 (T), CTC efetiva (t) e satura??o por alum?nio (m%)) e mat?ria org?nica (M.O); f?sicos: teores de areia, silte e argila, resist?ncia mec?nica ? penetra??o ao longo da camada de 0-30 cm, umidade, cobertura de rocha e cascalho exposto. As vari?veis ambientais foram comparadas pelo teste t para amostras independentes (P<0,05). Para analisar as correla??es entre os gradientes ambientais e vegetacionais foi empregada a An?lise de Correspond?ncia Can?nica (CCA). A ?rea estudada na din?mica da paisagem contou com 2.509,92 ha definidos entre os paralelos 7989545,95 e 7984296,35 sul e meridianos 646367,51 e 651117,89 oeste. O mapeamento e classifica??o da cobertura vegetal foi realizado por meio da interpreta??o visual de fotografias a?reas para os anos de 1950 e 2006. A quantifica??o estrutural da paisagem foi descrita por meio de ?ndices de composi??o e configura??o espacial resultantes do software Fragstats. No geral foram amostrados 1.152 indiv?duos, pertencentes a 16 fam?lias e 38 esp?cies, sendo, 153 indiv?duos, 5 fam?lias e 9 esp?cies pertencentes a ADGD; 921 indiv?duos, 16 fam?lias e 36 esp?cies pertencentes a ADGO e 78 indiv?duos, 9 fam?lias e 11 esp?cies pertencentes a ADV. A an?lise dos atributos f?sicos e qu?micos do substrato evidenciou alta limita??o ao desenvolvimento de plantas colonizadoras, apresentando como restri??es, substratos de textura arenosa com baixa fertilidade natural, acidez elevada al?m de classe de resist?ncia a penetra??o m?dia para as ?reas degradadas pelo garimpo de ouro e diamante. Verificou-se que houve rela??o entre os gradientes ambientais e a abund?ncia e composi??o flor?stica da vegeta??o colonizadora, ficando a maioria das esp?cies mais fortemente correlacionada com as vari?veis topogr?ficas (desn?vel), qu?micas (M.O e m) e f?sicas (umidade). Todos os indicadores estruturais analisados mostraram que as ?reas est?o em processo de constru??o inicial, por?m a ?rea degradada pelo garimpo de ouro encontra-se em est?gio sucessional mais avan?ado quando comparado com ?rea degradada pelo processo de vo?orocamento e a ?rea degradada pelo garimpo de diamante. Os mapas temporais de cobertura do solo evidenciam que a ?rea de estudo apresenta grande influ?ncia de atividades antr?picas. Contudo a quantidade de habitat natural na ?rea de estudo foi bem superior ao limiar de percola??o, passando de 99,26% (2491,59 ha) em 1950 para 89,62% (2249,35 ha) em 2006. Nesse contexto, ? poss?vel constatar que a paisagem se manteve estruturalmente conectada por meio de grandes fragmentos de vegeta??o nativa, proporcionando condi??es de sustentabilidade. / Disserta??o (Mestrado) ?

Thus the demand for raw materials to sustain the means of production, is closely related to the exploitation of natural resources, which conducted improperly and unsustainable, causes the degradation of the environment. In this context, aa scientific community, facing the challenges that present themselves to a sustainability of the planet, has been conducting research aimed at generating alternatives for the recuperation of degraded areas; these alternatives, which are effective in their purpose (integration of knowledge silvicultural and ecological principles ) and return these areas to conditions similar to the originals. This study aimed to characterize physical and chemical substrate, to relate the abundance distribution of the colonizing species with environmental variables, to study the dynamics of the floristic composition of vegetation and analyze the dynamics of the landscape around the three areas under different types preterit of degradation, between the years 1950 and 2006, emphasizing the changes in landscape virtue to human activities in the State Park Biribiri (PEB) and surroundings, in Diamantina, MG. The communities of areas degraded by mining diamond (ADGD) and gold (ADGO), as well as the process of vo?orocamento (ADV) had 50 (10 x 10 m), 30 (10 x 10 m) and 36 (5 x 3m) plots respectively, in the first inventory sampled all shrub tree individuals with DAS30 ? 3 cm. In the second inventory, dead individuals were recorded, remeasured the survivors and measured and identified the recruited individuals. We calculated rates of mortality, recruitment, gain and loss in basal area and number of individuals for each area. Values ??H? obtained for areas were compared in pairs by t test Hutcheson. In each plot was collected a sample of the substrate surface (0-20 cm) were analyzed for chemical parameters: pH in water; levels of P, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+ and Al3+, exchangeable cations (potential acidity (H + Al ), base saturation (V%), sum of bases (SB), CTC at pH 7 (T), effective CTC (t), aluminum saturation (m%)) and organic matter (M.O); physical: contents of sand, silt and clay, penetration resistance along the 0-30 cm layer, moisture, coverage of rock and gravel exposed. Environmental variables were compared by t test for independent samples (P<0.05). To analyze the correlations between environmental gradients and vegetation was used Canonical Correspondence Analysis (CCA). The area studied in the dynamics of the landscape had 2,509.92 ha defined between the parallel and 7,989,545.95 7,984,296.35 646,367.51 meridian and south and west 651,117.89. The mapping and classification of vegetation cover was done by visual interpretation of aerial photographs for the years 1950 and 2006. Quantification structural landscape has been described by means of indexes of composition and spatial configuration resulting Fragstats software. Overall 1152 individuals were sampled, belonging to 16 families and 38 species, and, 153 individuals, families 5 and 9 species of ADGD, 921 individuals, 16 families and 36 species belonging to ADGO and 78 individuals, 9 families and 11 species belonging ADV. The analysis of physical and chemical properties of the substrate showed high limiting the development of colonizing plants, presenting as constraints, sandy substrates with low fertility, high acidity than class average penetration resistance for areas degraded by mining gold and diamond. There was a relationship between environmental gradients and floristic composition and abundance of colonizing vegetation, most species being more strongly correlated with the topographic variables (elevation), chemical (M.O and m) and physical (moisture). All structural indicators analyzed showed that the areas are in the process of initial construction, but the area degraded by mining gold is found in more advanced successional stage compared with the degraded area by process vo?orocamento and the area degraded by mining diamonds. Temporal maps of land cover indicate that this area of ??study has great influence anthropogenic activities. However the amount of natural habitat in the study area was well above the percolation threshold, from 99.26% (2491,59 ha) in 1950 to 89.62% (2249,35 ha) in 2006. In this context, it can be seen that the landscape remained structurally connected by means of large fragments of native vegetation, providing conditions for sustainability.

And also at analyzing the germination of seeds submitted to subzero temperatures and suggest to apply a methodology to assess such behavior over time. The fruits used in this study were collected from matrices of jatoba proceeding from Curvelo-MG and Diamantina-MG. The experiments were conducted in the Integrated Center for Forest Research and Studies ICFRS/UFVJM in Diamantina-MG. Whose works were divided into three chapters. In the first fruits were collected from five matrices of Hymenaea courbaril and seven matrices of Hymenaea matiana. Were evaluated forty nine fruits by matrices and the following variables: weight of the fruits and seeds, length, width and thickness. These fruits were evaluated randomly one hundred seeds by matrix as length, width and thickness. Was also held by the seed germination test matrix by matrix and evaluated the growth of seedlings of these species. There were significant differences for all variables between species and matrices. Demonstrating, the possibility to select specific matrices under a particular interest. In the second chapter, seeds of Hymenaea courbaril were submitted to storage in a freezer (- 20 ? C), in five freezing time (treatments): zero, three, six, nine and twelve days. We evaluated the IVG, germination (% G) and early growth of seedlings. The effects of the treatments on the variables IVG and percentage of germination were not significant. The tests of the identity of nonlinear models was effective in the discrimination of treatment effects. Evidenced also no differences between the adjusted curves of accumulated germination for freezing time six, nine and twelve days. It was possible to confirm the superiority of treatment three days of freezing for germination and emergence. Concerning growth of seedlings, this was not affected by treatments. The last chapter, consisted of the use of the tests of the identity of nonlinear models to evaluate the cumulative germination and compare it with indices of single values. This methodology was effective at discriminating the behavior germination of the curves generated by the different equations, unlike the indices than single values which were statistically equal.

Os fragmentos situam-se na Fazenda Experimental do Moura em Curvelo-MG (cerrado sentido restrito ? 18,84? S e 44,39? W; cerrad?o ? 18?82? S e 44?25? W; altitude m?dia de 715 m), sob clima do tipo Aw de K?ppen e sobre substrato de Latossolos ?cidos e distr?ficos. O Invent?rio florestal foi conduzido por meio de parcelas permanentes retangulares (20?50 m) com ?rea de 1000 m?; para a regenera??o natural (RN), utilizou-se sub-parcelas com ?rea de 100 m? (2?50 m), instaladas no centro de cada parcela. Foram instaladas trinta unidades amostrais na ?rea de cerrado sentido restrito (quinze para a vegeta??o adulta e quinze para a RN) e dez unidades na ?rea de cerrad?o. O compartimento adulto foi representado por todos os indiv?duos vivos dentro das parcelas com DAS (circunfer?ncia a 0,3 m do n?vel do solo) > 5,0 cm, e nas sub-parcelas, para a RN, registrou-se todo indiv?duo vivo com comprimento de fuste > 10 cm e DAS < 5,0. ?rvore com fuste bifurcado foi inclu?da como indiv?duo ?nico e no caso da vegeta??o adulta quando o valor dos DAS fundidos atendia ao crit?rio. A RN foi subdividida em tr?s classes de di?metro: I ? (DB entre 0,028 e 2,0 cm); II ? (DB entre 2,0 e 4,0 cm) e III ? (DB > 4,0 cm). Foram coletadas vari?veis ambientais para cada parcela para subsidiar an?lises diretas de gradiente por meio de duas matrizes (vegeta??o e ambiente). Foram realizadas an?lises de diversidade alfa e beta temporal (cerrado sentido restrito entre adultos e RN). Foi registrado um total de 127 esp?cies nas tr?s ?reas, sendo 39 fam?lias identificadas e 89 g?neros identificados. As an?lises de correspond?ncia can?nica indicaram correla??es significativas entre distribui??o espacial da abund?ncia de esp?cies com algumas vari?veis ambientais para quatro das cinco an?lises realizadas (duas para o compartimento adulto e tr?s para as classes da RN). As an?lises indicaram valores de diversidade alfa condizentes para ?reas de Cerrado. Destacam-se em fun??o da densidade, em toda a amostragem, os g?neros Annona, Byrsonima, Erythroxylum, Myrcia e Qualea e a esp?cie Magonia pubescens. / Disserta??o (Mestrado) ?

The fragments are located in the Experimental Farm in Curvelo Moura, MG (cerrado sentido restrito ? 18,84? S e 44,39??W; cerrad?o-cerrado sentido restrito transition ? 18?82??S e 44?25??W; average elevation of 715 m), climate under the K?ppen Aw and on substrate of dystrophic and acids. The forest inventory was conducted by means of rectangular permanent quadrats (20 ? 50 m) with an area of ??1000 m?. For natural regeneration (RN), we used sub?-plots with an area of ??100 m? (2 ? 50 m) installed in the center of each plot. Thirty sample units were installed in the area of ??cerrado sensu stricto (fifteen to vegetation and fifteen adult to RN) and ten units in the area of ??dense cerrad?o-cerrado sentido restrito transition. The adult compartment was represented by all individuals living within the plots with diameter at soil height (DSH - diameter to 0.3 m from ground level) >?5.0 cm, and in sub-quadrats, natural regeneration (RN) composed of alive individuals with long stem >?10?cm e DSH <?5.0. Tree with bifurcated stem were included as a unique individual, and in case of adult vegetation, only included when the value of square root of the sum-square of DSH had been greater than criterion. The RN were divided into three diameter classes: I - (DB between 0.028 and 2.0 cm), II - (DB between 2.0 and 4.0 cm) and III - (DB> 4.0 cm). Environmental variables were collected for each plot to subsidize direct gradient analysis by means of two arrays (vegetation and environment). Were performed analyzes of alpha and beta temporal diversity (in cerrado sensu stricto between adults and RN). It was recorded a total of 127 species in three areas, and identified 39 families and 89 genera identified. The canonical correspondence analysis indicated significant correlations between spatial distribution of species abundance with some environmental variables for four of the five tests performed (two for the adult compartment and three classes for the classes of RN). Stand out as a function of density in the entire sample, gender Annona, Byrsonima, Erythroxylum, Myrcia and Qualea, and the specie Magonia pubescens.
