| The west of Paraná state produces large volumes of grains due to the availability of land well-suited for agriculture. Alongside significant grain production in the region, there are alsoproduction chains for pork, poultry, and fish, and collaborative efforts between producers,cooperatives, agroindustry, and rural extension. Grain and animal protein production createsmajor demand for forest biomass to dry grains, fire boilers in plants, heat poultry sheds, andother agribusiness activities that r ...

| The state of Pará is slowly adopting practices to modify altered areas by means of reforestation, and the agriculture producers have been requesting seeds and seedlings in order to apply Agro-forest Systems. However, a great obstacle to this program has been the lack of knowledge about seed germination technologies and seedling production, on a commercial scale and with quality standards. To address these deficiencies, this project aims to research native species with potential use in these syst ... Status: Completed Start date: Mon Dec 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2008 |
| 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. Status: Completed Start date: Mon Aug 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2011 |
| Responses of humid tropical forests to logging: new perspectives for forest management in the Amazon
The GUIAMAFLOR project includes French (Guyana and Montpellier) and Brazilian (Manaus and Macapá) research partners. The fieldwork is located in four sustainable systems in three Amazonian regions (French Guyana, Amapá and Amazonas) aiming to understand how environmental factors influence the forest dynamic after logging in multiple intensity levels. With the project’s results it will be possible to make a synthesis of the knowledge about forests’ functioning after logging to improve forest m ...Status: Completed Start date: Sun Feb 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2015 |
| Riverside communities experience many deficiencies in electricity supply and basic sanitation. Regarding forest products management there is a dependency of açaí and limited use of other species. Thus, the project located at Ilha das Cinzas – Pará state, aims to: evaluate agroforestry systems with ‘pau mulato’ and other arboreal and agricultural species; generate actual technical indices to the management of native açaí grooves through its mapping and monitoring along with participating families ...

| This project aims at strengthening bilateral cooperation in Science and Technology between Brazil and China, for the development of the bamboo production chain in the Brazilian territory, through activities stipulated by the Memorandum of Understanding signed by the Brazilian and Chinese governments in April 2011, for the purpose to intensifying the sharing of scientific knowledge and technologies between Brazilian and Chinese research institutions and the exchange of technological information w Status: Completed Start date: Sat Nov 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2014 |
| This project's main goal is to promote knowledge building in partnership with the extractivist community through research actions to adapt and generate technologies and innovation for the sustainable use of bamboo forests, and diversify production activities in the Chico Mendes Extractivist Reserve with the insertion of bamboo into the production systems of the production units.

| Araucaria spp. is a species that can be used to produce wood and pine nuts. Vegetationpropagation techniques to produce Araucaria seedlings via grafting and cuttings/mini-cuttingsand establish orchards to produce wood and pine nuts have been developed and are alreadyunderway at Embrapa Florestas. These techniques are being assessed at a research scale andprotocols need to be tested in rural properties and companies for validation and technologytransfer, as well as to develop and assess improved Status: In progress Start date: Thu Nov 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2018 |
| Biochar is a carbon-rich material that is distinct from charcoal and other similar materials dueto its use as a soil conditioner to improve soil quality. One factor limiting understanding andvalidation of biochar as a soil conditioner and carbon sink is the lack of long-duration studies inthe field. Such studies are essential, since biochar can be produced from a wide variety of rawmaterials and thermic processes, leading to very diverse products. Most studies are done ingreenhouses; due to cost Status: Completed Start date: Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2019 |
| Araucaria angustifolia, also known as the Paraná pine, is the symbol of southern Brazil and aunique component of the mixed ombrophile forest (also known as Araucaria forest) that is partof the Atlantic Forest biome. After heavy logging in the twentieth century, this species wasincluded on Brazil's official list of threatened flora species, which significantly diminished itsuse in economic activities, as well as scientific studies of this species. Recent scientific researchhas investigated ways f ... Status: Completed Start date: Tue Dec 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2020 |
