Vitiviniculture is an agricultural activity of great economic and cultural relevance, but it faces growing challenges related to climate change and the demand for more sustainable practices. In this context, the use of microorga-nisms, such as bacteria of the genus Microbacterium sp., h...
Blackflies (Diptera: Simuliidae) are much studied for their role in health care, as most genera are vectors of onchocerciasis and mansonellosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential influence of land use on blackflies abundance in low-order streams flowing in preserv...
Biodiesel (BD) production from soybeans is expanding, driven by blending mandates and permits for both road and marine transportation in Brazil. Soybean area growth may result in direct land-use change (DLUC) and CO2 emissions associated with BD production. These can vary according to&#...
As florestas tropicais fornecem uma gama de serviços ecossistêmicos, além de concentrar inúmeros recursos naturais[1]. Nesses ambientes, as árvores atuam como indicadores ambientais ao integrar fatores ambientais e aspectos da formação dos anéis de crescimento[2]. A castanheira-da-amazônia (Bertholletia ex...
Direct land-use change (DLUC) assessment is crucial for evaluating bioenerg’s carbon footprint. Given the importance of sugarcane as a global bioenergy feedstock, accurate DLUC estimation is essential for reliable decarbonization impact assessments. The aim of this study is to evaluate the i...
Agriculture is the challenge of increasing production while promoting environmental sustainability by reducing impacts on humanhealth, ecosystem quality and natural resources. Wheat, as one of the major commodities of the world, plays a critical role in global foodsecurity. The wheat production&#...
The use of nanoencapsulated pesticides, such as nanoatrazine (nATZ), has been proposed as a promising strategy to enhance herbicidal efficiency and reduce environmental toxicity. However, concerns remain regarding their environmental fate and bioaccumulation potential in non-target organisms, especially wi...
The world is becoming increasingly dynamic, and, as a result, decision-making processes within companies have had to accelerate tokeep up with this pace. The importance of tools that reconcile environmental issues with the speed of response required by stakeholdersemerges - whether in s...
