Plantios mistos de eucalipto com leguminosas arbóreas vêm sendo estabelecidos a fim de aumentar os teores de nutriente no solo, e estimular a ciclagem biogeoquímica. Para tanto, este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar alguns atributos microbianos e químicos do solo e serapilheira dos primeiros 20 meses de crescimento de uma segunda rotação de plantios puros e mistos de E. grandis e A. mangium. Foram coletadas amostras de solo e raízes (profundidade de 0-10 cm) e serapilheira aos 2, 7, 14 e 20 meses após o plantio dos seguintes tratamentos: monoculturas de A. mangium e E. grandis sem fertilização nitrogenada, monocultura de E. grandis fertilizado com N e plantio misto entre E. grandis e A. mangium (50E:50A). Dentre os atributos microbianos e bioquímicos do solo foram avaliados o C e N da biomassa microbiana, respiração basal, a atividade das enzimas desidrogenase, celulase, urease, fosfatase ácida, fosfatase alcalina, número de esporos e taxa de colonização de fungos micorrízicos arbusculares. Os atributos químicos do solo avaliados foram: C e N total do solo, P disponível, pH e umidade. Na serapilheira foram avaliadas as concentrações de C, N e P total. As informações obtidas revelaram que houve um efeito cumulativo recorrente da primeira rotação, principalmente na área plantada com A. mangium. Foi possível verificar que no inicio dos plantios florestais os teores de C e N total e P disponível no solo não se alteram drasticamente. Em contrapartida, os conteúdos totais desses elementos na serapilheira são extremamente dinâmicos, dissimilares entre os tratamentos e altamente relacionados com os atributos microbianos e bioquímicos do solo. A. mangium apresentou uma serapilheira com menor relação C/N e C/P, e essa característica se manteve quando ela foi planta com E. grandis, que também apresentou diminuição da relação C/N e C/P da serapilheira. Isso pode ter ocorrido em função ao estimulo da microbiota do solo, sobretudo das fosfatases e pela associação com das plantas com fungos micorrízicos arbusculares. Neste caso, presume-se que a A. mangium é a grande responsável por favorecer a maior atividade microbiana e colonização de FMA em E. grandis no plantio misto quando comparado com os plantios puros de E. grandis. As fosfatases ácida e alcalina foram os atributos microbianos que mais se alteraram com o desenvolvimento vegetal, mostrando a sensibilidade dessa variável aos sistemas de plantio. Estes resultados são informações importantes não apenas sobre a capacidade do plantio misto de E. grandis e A. mangium em maximizar a ciclagem de N e P, mas também sobre o conhecimento da dinâmica desses elementos e da microbiota do solo no inicio dos plantios florestais, fato este pouco abordado pela literatura. / Intercropped plantation between leguminous and eucalyptus has been establishment to increase soil nutrients content and stimulate the biogeochemistry cycling. This work aim evaluated some microbial and chemistry attributes of soil and litter in the early stages of the second rotation of mixed and pure plantations of E. grandis and A. mangium. Soil and roots samples (at 0-10 cm depth) and litter samples were collected at two, seven, 14, and 20 months after planting in the following treatments: monocultures of A. mangium and E. grandis, a monoculture of E. grandis with N-fertilizer, and an intercropped plantation with E. grandis and A. mangium (50E:50A). The intercropped plantation area was subdivided and soil samples collected around of the A. mangium and E. grandis individuals in order to compare the rhizosphere effects of each tree species within this treatment. The microbial and biochemistry attributes measured were: microbial biomass C and N, microbial respiration, metabolic quotient (qCO2), metabolic microbial, enzymatic activity (dehydrogenase, cellulase, urease, acid phosphatase and alkali phosphatase), spore diversity and density and root colonization by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. The chemistry soil attributes evaluated were: Total C, total N, available P, pH and moisture. Total C, N and P litter were evaluated. There was a cumulative effect due the first rotation, mainly at A. mangium monoculture. Soil chemistry attributes (total C, total N and available P) were little altered in early stage of the plantations. However, litter attributes were extremely dynamics, dissimilar between treatments and correlated with the soil microbial attributes. A. mangium showed decrease of the litter C/N and C/P ratios (pure and intercropped plantation). In this case, E. grandis also decrease the litter C/N and C/P ratios when planted with A. mangium. Intercropped plantation stimulated the microbial activity, mainly the phosphatases and root colonization by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. Thus, presumably A. mangium is the greater responsible to stimulate the soil microbial community in intercropped plantation, favoring E. grandis. Alkali and acid phosphatase were microbial attributes more drastically altered with plant development, showing the sensibility these variables. These results are important information not only about to intercropped plantation capacity for maximize N and P cycling, but also about the knowledge of the dynamic of these elements and the soil microbial in early stages of the forestry plantations, which is little reported to literature.

Essa pesquisa buscou avaliar os efeitos da utilização de três diferentes sistemas de colheita florestal na dinâmica, estrutura e diversidade da regeneração natural, em talhão abandonado de Eucalyptus saligna Smith. O estudo foi realizado em área pertencente à Estação Experimental de Ciências Florestais da ESALQ-USP, no município de Itatinga/SP. A área amostral total é de 3,24 ha, sendo instalada em talhão abandonado há cerca de 40 anos, e que sofreu técnicas de colheita para extração de madeira há cerca de 2 anos atrás. O delineamento experimental aplicado foi o de blocos ao acaso que já fora utilizado em estudo realizado por Mendes (2012) na área. Para cada tratamento foi instalada 3 parcelas de 30 x 30 m em cada bloco, totalizando 9 parcelas por tratamento em uma área amostral de 0,81 ha por tratamento. Foi realizado um inventário da população de Eucalyptus saligna, bem como o levantamento fitossociológico de toda a regeneração natural H >= 1,30 m e DAP > 5,0 cm. Em sub-parcelas de 3x3 metros foram contados e plaqueados todos os indivíduos com H >= 0,50 m e DAP < 5,0 cm. Na testemunha foram mensurados 278 indivíduos de Eucalyptus saligna, apresentando uma densidade absoluta de 343,21 ind./ha. O volume total de eucalipto encontrado foi de 438,72 m3.ha-1 e a área basal total de 23,18 m2.ha-1. Nas 36 parcelas foram amostrados 1910 indivíduos, distribuídos em 168 espécies, pertencentes a 78 gêneros e 39 famílias. A densidade total estimada foi de 589,51 indivíduos por hectare para a classe de indivíduos da regeneração natural com DAP >= 5,0 cm e de 11.080 indivíduos/ha para a regeneração natural com DAP < 5,0 cm e H >= 0,50 m. As variáveis para o estudo dos efeitos na estrutura da vegetação foram quatro classes de danos em árvores: intactas, danificadas, rebrotadas e mortas. Em relação às classes de danos estruturais causados na vegetação, nota-se que não houve diferença significativa entre a colheita convencional e a colheita de impacto reduzido 2. Os melhores valores em termos de árvores intactas foram encontrados na colheita de impacto reduzido 1 (57,89%) e na testemunha (93,83%), no entanto estes tratamentos diferenciaram-se significativamente entre si. Para as árvores mortas, a menor taxa foi encontrada na testemunha (4,23%), seguida da colheita de impacto reduzido 1 com uma taxa de 16,98%. Avaliou-se a diversidade de espécies nativas cujo DAP >= 5,0 cm, através da análise do índice de diversidade de Shannon(H\'), riqueza de espécies (S) e equabilidade de Pielou (J\'). Foram calculadas as taxas de dinâmicas: mortalidade, recrutamento, ganho e perda em área basal, as taxas de rotatividade e as taxas de mudança líquida no período. A remoção total dos Eucaliptos plantados aumentou o recrutamento em comparação com a área controle (sem intervenção), no entanto, a diversidade de espécies foi maior na área controle (sem intervenção). A testemunha foi o único tratamento que apresentou diferença significativa entre o índice de diversidade de Shannon e a riqueza para o período comparado (logo após a colheita e após os 24 meses). / This work aimed to evaluate the effect of three fallow systems in natural regeneration dynamics, structure and diversity in an abandoned plantation of Eucalyptus saligna Smith. Our study was carried out in the Itatinga Experimental Station of the University of São Paulo - USP, located in the county of Itatinga-SP, Brazil. The plantation has been abandoned for approximately 40 years; however, remaining E. saligna individuals were removed two years before our study under different harvesting systems. We used the randomized blocks design to sample 3.24 hectares in the study area. For each treatment, we placed three 30 x 30 m plots in each block totaling nine plots per treatment and a sampling area of 0.81 hectares per treatment. We sampled all E. saligna individuals, as well as natural regeneration with height >= 1.3 m and DBH >= 5,0 cm. In 3 x 3 m subplots we counted and tagged all individuals with height >= 5 cm and DBH < 5,0 cm. In the Control plots we found 278 individuals of E. saligna, which represents a density of 343.21 individuals/hectare. Total estimated wood volume of E. saligna was of 438,72 m3.ha-1, with a basal area of 23,18 m2.ha-1. In the 36 plots we sampled 1910 individuals, distributed in 168 species, 78 genus and 39 families. Natural regeneration density was of 589.51 individuals/hectare for individuals DBH > 5.0 cm and 11.080 individuals/hectare for individuals DBH < 5.0 cm and height >= 0.5 m. We studied the effect of fallow system in the vegetation structure considering four classes of damage to natural regeneration: intact, damaged, resprouted and dead. Our study shows that there was no significant difference between Conventional and Reduced Impact Logging 2 systems. The Reduced Impact Logging 1 and Control plots showed higher proportion of intact trees (57.89 % and 93.83 %, respectively), however, these treatments differed among each other. Control plots showed the lowest proportion of dead trees, followed by Reduced Impact Logging 1 (4.23 % and 16.98 %, respectively). We evaluated diversity of native individuals with DBH >= 5.0 cm through the Shannon diversity index (H\'), species richness (S) and Pielou equability (J\'). We calculated the dynamic rates ofmortality, recruitment, change in basal area, turnover and net change rates during the study period. Removal of planted E. saligna increased recruitment when compared to Control plots, however species diversity was higher in Control plots. Control plots were the only treatment that showed significant differences between the Shannon diversity Index and richness for the study period (i.e. right after logging and 24 months after logging).

The German Coast Project explores the early nineteenth century history of the Louisiana’s German Coast, spanning its formative years, the 1811 Slave Revolt, and the aftermath of the revolt, through the perspective of the Andry family. The website is powered through Omeka software, which creates a historical exhibition of compiled research. In addition, ArcGIS contributed to the website’s construction, as it allowed for the inclusion of interactive programs and maps within the website. Designed for high school students and genealogists, The German Coast Project creates new scholarship pertaining to the German Coast and the 1811 Slave Revolt, through the often-overlooked perspective of the Andry family. The primary theme of the project is to portray how Manuel Andry and his family were able to prosper financially after the 1811 Slave Revolt, even though they suffered a heavy emotional loss.

Orientador: Salatier Buzetti / Resumo: O desenvolvimento radicular em plantações de eucalipto tem sido apontado como uma das estratégias cruciais para sua adaptação e crescimento, em especial, em condições tropicais, que possuem solos pobres em nutrientes. Neste contexto, torna-se extremamente importante avaliar o perfil do solo nestas plantações, a luz de uma perspectiva de fornecimento de nutrientes e água para as plantações de eucalipto. Tendo isto em vista, especificamente nesta tese, dois trabalhos foram conduzidos para avaliar os atributos do solo e o desenvolvimento radicular em plantações de eucalipto no brasil, a saber: 1) Disponibilidade de Água no Solo em Plantios de Eucalipto em uma Cronossequência, e suas Relações com a Produtividade e Densidade Básica da Madeira e suas Estimativas Através de Redes Neurais Artificiais no Brasil; 2) Padrões e Distribuição Vertical dos Atributos do Solo na Plantação de Eucalipto no Brasil. A rede experimental completa possui 34 experimentos plantados em um gradiente climático no Brasil e 2 locais no Uruguai, com 36 locais experimentais no total. Avaliaram-se sítios desde baixo incremento médio anual (13,7 m³ ha-1 ano-1, 61% abaixo da média nacional de produtividade), até sítios com elevada produtividade com IMA de 67,2 m³ há-1 ano-1 (92% acima da média nacional de produção de madeira). No trabalho 1, avaliaram-se14 experimentos, e no trabalho 2, 4 experimentos, todos eles ao longo de um forte gradiente climático no Brasil. No caso do trabalho 1 foram avaliados atributos...

In this context, it is extremely important to evaluate the soil profile in these plantations, considering a nutrient and water supply perspective for eucalyptus plantations. With this in mind, specifically in this thesis, two studies were conducted to evaluate soil attributes and root development in eucalyptus plantations in Brazil, namely: 1) Availability of Soil Water in Eucalyptus Plantations in a Chronosequence, and their Relationships with the Productivity and Basic Density of Madeira and its Estimates through Artificial Neural Networks in Brazil; 2) Patterns and Vertical Distribution of Soil Attributes in Eucalyptus Plantation in Brazil. The complete experimental network has 34 experiments planted in a climatic gradient in Brazil and 2 sites in Uruguay, with 36 experimental sites in total. Sites were evaluated from low average annual increment (13.7 m³ ha-1 year-1, 61% below the national average of productivity), to sites with high productivity with an IMA of 67.2 m³ ha-1 year -1 (92% above the national average of wood production). In work 1, 14 experiments were evaluated, and in the work 2, 4 experiments, all of them along a strong climatic gradient in Brazil. In the case of work 1, physical attributes of the soils (clay, silt, total sand, field capacity, permanent wiltin... (Complete abstract click electronic access below) / Doutor

Commercial pine plantations made up of exotic tree species are increasingly recognised as habitats that can contribute significantly to the conservation of indigenous biodiversity in New Zealand. Encouraging this biodiversity by employing sympathetic forestry management techniques not only offers benefits for indigenous flora and fauna but can also be economically advantageous for the forestry industry. The New Zealand falcon (Falco novaeseelandiae) or Karearea, is a threatened species, endemic to the islands of New Zealand, that has recently been discovered breeding in pine plantations. This research determines the ecological requirements of New Zealand falcons in this habitat, enabling recommendations for sympathetic forestry management to be made. Plantation forests that create a mosaic of pine stand ages across a plantation, offer suitable habitat for breeding New Zealand falcons by providing abundant nest sites, promoting high abundances of avian prey and creating favourable conditions for hunting. The diet of falcons within pine forests consisted primarily of birds, of which the majority were exotic passerines. Prey abundances were highest along pine stand edges. Both sexes preferentially hunted along pine stand edges between stands less than four years old and stands more than 20 years old. Pairs also preferentially nested along these borders, particularly within and along the edges of pine stands less than two years old. Within pine stands, nest sites were always located on the ground. Introduced predators and some forestry operations negatively affected breeding success. Nevertheless, productivity was higher than recorded for other habitats and female falcons were recorded successfully breeding in their first year for the first time. High prey densities and availabilities are suggested as the primary explanation for this. The extent of juvenile dispersal strongly suggests that pine plantations supplement populations in surrounding areas where falcons are in decline. This research demonstrates that changes to the existing forestry operational practices can influence the success of the breeding population. This research establishes that if commercial pine plantations are suitably managed, they can support extremely high falcon densities. Plantation forests therefore have a significant role to play in the future conservation of this species.

In the Sumberjaya district of West Lampung, Indonesia, there has been widespread replacement of rainforest by robusta coffee. However, few studies have explored the relationship between birds and coffee gardens in Southeast Asia. This study examines the use of coffee gardens and other habitats by birds in the Sumberjaya and Pesisir regions. Birds and their habitat use were surveyed, as were structural and floristic vegetation features. Interviews with farmers indicated land management practices and limitations, as well as local perceptions of shade trees, birds and conservation programs. There were clear differences in bird diversity and assemblage uniqueness between types of coffee gardens. Over the region, ' multistrata ' gardens supported the greatest number of species. However, all coffee types had lower taxonomic diversity of birds than did forest. Frugivores, and birds of high conservation dependence, were poorly represented in coffee gardens. Microhabitat use by birds was significantly different between habitats, and it appeared that the birds did make use of structural features as they became available. Farmers indicated that shade trees had benefits such as sheltering coffee plants, and providing produce, but were also apprehensive about over - shading. Many claimed that bird assemblages have changed, yet while describing habitat loss as a past problem, few people felt that forest loss would cause bird deaths. Most farmers believed that coffee gardens had potential to provide useful bird habitat. Interviewees believed that both Government and the community were responsible for conservation. Many showed interest in co - operative conservation programs, particularly if they allowed farmers flexibility, or if they involved incentives related to land tenure. There was also interest in market - based schemes such as eco - certification. The primary action needed for conservation of Sumberjaya ' s birds is to minimise ongoing forest degradation. This may be achieved by linking incentives such as land tenure to forest protection. Capacity to create a certified coffee scheme may be limited by poor coffee quality and inappropriate garden characteristics. Farms maintained primarily for coffee production showed limited value for rainforest - adapted birds. However, the Krui damar gardens suggest a model, which as a forest buffer zone, may allow a more gentle spatial transition from agricultural to forest conditions. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--School of Social Sciences, 2005.

La transition agraire à Sabah oppose deux systèmes différents de mettre en valeur le territoire. Le premier se caractérise par l’expansion des plantations de monocultures commerciales alors que le deuxième se caractérise par des petites exploitations familiales qui se basent sur la subsistance et sur la diversification des cultures. Face à ce contraste, le modèle de développement rural proposé par le gouvernement cherche à concilier les intérêts macroéconomiques des grandes plantations avec les intérêts microéconomiques des petites exploitations alors que les premiers ont largement pris l’avantage sur les deuxièmes. En même temps, il existe à Sabah un système juridique foncier caractérisé par le pluralisme juridique. D’un côté nous avons le droit étatique centralisé qui se base sur la codification de la loi et sur la promotion de la propriété privée individuelle alors que de l’autre nous avons un droit coutumier qui se base sur la tradition orale et sur la gestion foncière communautaire. Chaque régime foncier présente une manière distincte de gérer l’accès, l’utilisation et la propriété de la terre et de ses ressources. Le droit étatique soutient l’expansion des grandes plantations alors que le droit coutumier régule la gestion des petites exploitations familiales. Les tensions qui existent entre ces systèmes juridiques différents de mise en valeur du territoire sont à l’origine de ce que nous appelons les dynamiques foncières émergentes. Cette thèse a pour but de mettre en évidence que la manière dont ces dynamiques interagissent, divergent et convergent a des répercussions en termes de développement rural dans la mesure où elles impliquent des tensions sociales et légales ainsi que des stratégies agricoles spécifiques ayant des conséquences économiques particulières. Plus spécifiquement, le but ultime est de comprendre comment le droit foncier coutumier se voit affecté par la transition agraire, comment il interagit par le biais des dynamiques foncières émergentes, et quels sont ses espaces et ses possibilités d’adaptation face à l’expansion d’un modèle de développement rural qui se base sur la modernisation et la marchandisation de l’agriculture.
