The assets of a company have unquestionable value. Thus, their effective management is necessary. This management has been automated, i.e. the agent registers the assets with software and can report on it. However, the movements of goods from one place to another is unavoidable, and thus agents can lose their new location if they are not warned about the displacement. Thus, it is periodically necessary to make a complete survey of the property and then update the database. This project aims to b

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

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

Oriental Amazon Embrapa has an ample research history in various native essences of the amazonian ecosystem, including the big leaf mahogany ( Swietenia macrophylla King). However, the formation of a research network focused in studies regarding the interaction between the mahogany shoot borer ( Hypsipyla grandella Zeller), its natural enemies and its most important host remains a demand to be fulfilled. The damage caused by this insect consists of the destruction of the tree's ter ...

The experiment's goal is to study the interaction between nutrient availability and plant density over the production and allocation of biomass, nutrition and wood quality of homogenous populations of balsa wood ( Ochroma pyramidale )

The project aimed to quantify carbon stocks and assess the impact of human activity on changes in carbon stocks in the Amazon Forest. In that region, in response to the potential climatic effects of deforestation, policy makers have paved the way for policy changes that drive emission reductions by reducing deforestation and forest degradation and the improvement of forest carbon stocks. The project was part of the “Sustainable Landscapes” program of technical cooperation from USAID and the U.S.

Project focused on the development of collaborative research on the ecology, management and technological processing of andiroba oil, strengthening the integration of related countries and the conservation of the Amazon rainforest in the region of the Guiana shield. Among the specificities of this study are the comparison of traditional andiroba oil extraction processes in the Brazilian Amazon and in Suriname; monitoring the production and physical-chemical quality of oil associated with best

This project was carried out in the region of Pernambuco known as Sertão and in the north of Bahia in order to train rural leaders, extension workers and agricultural technicians in silviculture of multiple-use forest species and agroforestry systems, as well as notions of ecology and the environment. Through courses and training, agents were trained to develop and implement a sustainable management plan for the caatinga area in small and medium rural properties in the Brazilian semiarid regi

This project aims to evaluate the productive potential of explored forest areas after one cutting cycle (30 years) and propose a forestry management system for the second cutting cycle in the Amazon. Technological ability and floristic variety of arboreal species will also be evaluated, in areas previously submitted to forest exploration 30 years ago (Tapajós National Forest). This project, headed by Oriental Amazon Embrapa in partnership with Federal Rural University of the Amazon, aims to deve ...
