Non-timber forest products (NTFPs) are a consolidated source of income and acquisition of inputs from forest environments. Therefore, the objective of this work was to carry out a collection of publications on NTFPs in Brazil, until 2019, available in the Scopus database, presenting a bibliometric review and the state of the art of this theme from the evaluation of these publications, discussing the challenges of Brazilian legislation on NTFPs. After screening the articles of interest, 196 documents were evaluated, in which they were observed institutions and authors, analyzing networks of citations and terms used, areas of forest sciences and sciences that encompass the most explored biomes and the most studied species. The results showed that the concern to research on NTFPs in Brazil began in the 1990s, with an increase in the number of publications over the years. Besides that, the research on NTFPs is multidisciplinary, with emphasis on the areas of Agricultural and Biological Sciences and Environmental Science. For better regulation of the process of exploration and management of NTFPs in Brazil, the need to create specific legislation that takes into account factors such as the phytogeographic domain the explored area, producing species, and the products and co-products obtained was observed.
A fauna edáfica representa a parte viva que contribui para fertilidade do solo e, consequentemente, um excelente indicador de sua qualidade, por atuar direta e indiretamente no processo de decomposição da matéria orgânica. Este trabalho tem por objetivo a análise quantitativa e qualitativamente da distribuição da fauna de solo superficial ocorrente em áreas de agricultura convencional e agrofloresta no município de Bom Jardim, Agreste pernambucano. Foram coletadas quinze amostras de serapilheira e de solo, com profundidade de dez centímetros em cada um dos ambientes. Na serapilheira, foi feita a extração da fauna com a utilização do funil de Berlese-Tüllgren e no solo, uma análise de fertilidade em laboratório, onde foi determinado o pH e as quantidades de elementos presentes (Ca, Mg, Al, Na, K e P) para os dois sistemas de cultivo. Observou-se maior quantidade e diversidade de indivíduos em área de agrofloresta, sendo três ordens encontradas em ambos os casos, Hymenoptera, Isoptera e Araneae. Também foi realizado um levantamento dendrológico para caracterizar a área de estudo, observando as espécies e o número de árvores mortas no local.
This research aimed to determine the concentration of tannins in the bark and in the branches of ten species of Caatinga occurrence. The Folin-Denis colorimetric method was used to determine the phenol content and the tannins are precipitated using a protein. The tannin content was obtained by the difference between the supernatant and the non-tannic phenol content. The data were subjected to the Shapiro-Wilk normality’s test and after, to Analysis of Variance using a 2x10 factorial design and Turkey’s test was used to detect differences. For bark sample, the species Parapiptadenia zehntneri, Parapiptadenia rigida and Libidibia ferrea presented the three highest percentages among the studied species, being 10.84%, 10.74% and 10.27%, respectively. For branch sample, Aspidosperma pyrifolium presented the highest percentage of tannins among the ten species, with 9.15% of these substances. It is possible to suggest the use of other parts of the tree to extract the tannins, such as the branches and their bark, offering an alternative for the extraction that is usually made from the main trunk and providing sustainability to the Caatinga.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
