Spatial modeling of forest fire risk has the aim to determine areas most susceptible to fire based on variables that represent facility of ignition and propagation. This work developed a forest fire risk map for the Municipality of Inhambupe, Bahia State, Brazil, by elaborating thematic maps of the following variables: road system, population density, land occupation and use, watershed network, slope and aspect...
Myrcia ovata, an endemic species to the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, presents antifungal properties. The phytopathogens Colletotrichum acutatum, Plenodomus destruens, and Thielaviopsis paradoxa are responsible for the diseases citrus postbloom fruit drop, sweet potato foot rot, and coconut stem bleeding, respectively. The antifungal activity of the essential oils of five M. ovata chemotypes (MYRO-159, nerolic aci...
Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES; Populus deltoides is a native species widely distributed in the United States, commonly used in riparian recovery projects, being one of the main forest species used to obtain raw material to produce biofuels and cellulose. The first article aimed to evaluate the diversity and genetic structure of a natural population of P. deltoides using the...
Brazil has about 300 Croton species in different types of vegetation. Croton tetradenius Baill., which is endemic to the Northeast region and predominant in the Caatinga vegetation, stands out among the several species of this genus. Considering the importance of knowing the genetic variability of a species, the objective of this study was to analyze the genetic diversity of the genotypes of natural populations...
Every fire on the forest environment that escapes man's control is called forest fire. Despite the fire being a natural agent within ecosystems, when badly managed, can cause damage that involve environmental sphere as well as the economic and social. From the knowledge of the power of fire destruction emerges the sense of establishing prevention and fighting forest fires. In order to improve prevention activit...
Este trabalho teve como objetivo analisar a ocorrência de erva-de-passarinho na arborização do campus da Universidade Federal de Sergipe, município de São Cristóvão. Para tal, todas as árvores foram identificadas, assim como as hemiparasitas. Fatores como a altura das árvores com ocorrência de hemiparasitas e o grau de infestação foram verificados. Constatou-se a presença de erva-depassarinho em 8,15% das árvor...
