The Amapá state has extensive forests and savannas, which are important carbon stocks being negatively affected due to agricultural, forestry and industrial activities. Thus the project aims to develop a methodology applicable to the entire State of Amapá, aiming to reach all types of existing vegetation, being the basis for estimates of forest biomass and the quantification of carbon stocks, in addition to enabling the monitoring of changes caused on biomass due to the economic activities de

The Brazil-nut (Bertholletia excelsa) is one of the most noble species of the forest due to the high value of its nuts, which is a rich source of vitamin E, complex B, besides minerals like phosphorus, potash, magnesium, calcium and selenium. The B. excels is much appreciated in natural and the “milk” extracted from its nut can be drank pure, mostly for infants and as an ingredient in recipes. This “milk” is an excellent raw material for the formulation of new products, but research studies a

The ‘cipó-titica’ vine (Heterops flexuosa) is a non-timber forest product of economical importance in Amapá. Its long and resistant aerial roots have historically been used for crafting furniture, utensils and handcrafts. The project will be situated in Nova Canaã settling, at Porto Grande municipality (Amapá) and aims to evaluate cipó-titica plants density in the forest in order to identify phorophytes (tree species that host the vine) and thus determine the rate of growth and emission of ne

This project proposes to evaluate and adapt technologies to integrate the intensive cultivation of tambaqui in a recirculation system to produce vegetables through the use of residual waters technology and the use of effluents. The technology diffusion activities have the partnership of extension agents from PESCAP (Amapá Fisheries Agency) and RURAP (Amapá Rural Development Institute) and producers. As results, it is expected to: 1) Strengthen institutional relations between Embrapa Amapá an ...

The chestnut PPP Project sought to evaluate aspects related to the productivity of Brazil nuts and Brazil nut trees in the southern region of the state of Amapá. Based on these aspects, subsidies were generated for the formulation of plans for the sustainable use of the species, as well as a management plan for the Rio Cajari Extractive Reserve (RESEX Cajari) was implemented.

The extractivism activity in the reserve is mainly characterized by the extraction of Brazil nuts, therefore,
