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 ...Status: Completed Start date: Fri Aug 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2014 |
| The recent expansion of sugarcane's culture by the mid-southern states of Brazil (Paraná, São Paulo, Mato Grosso do Sul, Minas Gerais - except the north, and Goiás), has been mostly happening on areas where degraded grasslands occur, characterized by eroded soils which are poor in nutrients, under distinct hydric regimes in regions of traditional sugarcane production. The incorporation of these flat topography areas enables mechanized harvesting and a more intensive soil use, with the eliminatio ...

The project aims to promote and develop of turtle farming in the municipality of Pracuúba, state of Amapá, combining bioecological aspects to support the management of . The project will be developed in a natural environment and in captivity to generate technologies, aiming at improving the species' cultivation systems and supplementing community's income. The promotion of aquaculture development in the state meets not only an environmental demand, but also an economic and social one. With th ...Status: Completed Start date: Sun Apr 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2012 |
| Among the many plagues which attack worldwide fruit culture, the fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) stand out for being present in all continents, and in practically all types of environment, being thus great hinderers of worldwide fruit production. In the Amazonian region, 5 species are already known in Acre, 28 in Amazonas, 22 in Amapá. 20 in Pará, 5 in Rondônia, 13 in Roraima and 16 in Tocantins, belonging to the genera Anastrepha, Bactrocera and Ceratitis./nThe state of Pará presents great d ...

| This project aims to recover legal reserve areas (ARL) or areas of permanent preservation (APP), in regions of family agriculture at the Brazilian Oriental Amazon, in the hopes of reducing impacts resulted from agricultural and forest practices. The project aims to train at least 150 family farmers in management of natural resources in areas which are close to bodies of water, and also to recover and monitor these areas' environment. The project will be developed in micro-basins of the Bragança, ... Status: Completed Start date: Mon Jun 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2009 |

Amazalert was an international research project coordinated by the Alterra Institute at Wageningen University (Netherlands). Embrapa participated in the development of an Early Warning System for detecting signs of large-scale degradation of the Amazon forest, to anticipate impacts caused by climate change and deforestation. The team of scientists featured researchers from 14 research institutions in the United Kingdom, France, Belgium, Austria, Germany, Bolivia and Colombia. Multidisciplinar ...Status: Completed Start date: Sat Oct 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2011 |

| Units of family agriculture and natural resources in the Amazon suffer severe negative impacts due to: the lack of sustainable alternates in the use of agricultural areas, and the expansion of exploitative predatory logging, extensive stockbreeding and large scale mechanized agriculture. Integrated systems of management of natural resources involving technologies that mitigate environmental impact represent sustainable alternates to small farmers and natural resources, once the adoption of more Status: Completed Start date: Fri Aug 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2008 |

Embrapa Satellite Monitoring, in a partnership with Indiana University (USA), coordinated the research project "Human and Physical Dimensions of Land Use/Cover Change in Amazônia: A multi-scale synthesis”. The project ended in 2010, and was part of the Large-Scale Biosphere-Atmosphere Experiment in Amazônia (LBA). The research encompassed seven study areas and made a transversal analysis of the social and biophysical dimensions of transformations in the Amazon landscape. Rural settlements wer ...Status: Completed Start date: Fri Aug 01 00:00:00 GMT-03:00 2008 |
