This article explores the spatial dynamics of agrofuels. Building on categories from the field of critical spatial theory, it shows how these categories enable a comprehensive analysis of the spatial dynamics of agrofuels that links the macro-structures of the global political economy to concrete, place-based struggles. Four core socio-spatial dynamics of agrofuel politics are highlighted and applied to empirical findings: territorialization, the financial sector as a new scale of regulation, place-based struggles and transnational spaces of resources and capital flows.

A planície costeira brasileira, em especial a do Nordeste do Brasil, apresenta um sistema morfológico que sofre diversas pressões do ponto de vista do uso e ocupação dos seus espaços. Logo, o entendimento da dinâmica natural e espacial desse ambiente requer a adoção de metodologias que contemplem uma abordagem em múltiplas escalas. Neste sentido, este trabalho tem o intuito de analisar as múltiplas morfologias associadas a praia das Fontes, em Beberibe-CE, em diferentes escalas taxonômicas. Esta análise auxiliou na realização de um prognostico das condições ambientais e de sua capacidade de suporte. Metodologicamente aplicou-se a proposta de Bertrand (1971), adotando-se apenas as unidades inferiores que inclui os níveis taxonômicos regionais e/ou locais, compreendendo os geossistemas, geofáciese os geótopos. Os resultados alcançados foram satisfatórios, uma vez que as unidades mapeadas foram validadas em atividades de campo para reconhecimento do produto cartográfico.Palavras-chave: Análise Multiescalar.

Therefore, the understanding of the natural and spatial dynamics of this environment requires the adoption of methodologies that contemplate a multi-scale approach. In this sense, this work has the purpose of analyzing the multiple morphologies associated to Praia das Fontes, in Beberibe-CE, at different taxonomic scales. This analysis assisted in the accomplishment of a prognosis of the environmental conditions and their support capacity. Methodologically Bertrand's (1972) proposal was applied, adopting only the lower units that includes regional and / or local taxonomic levels, including geosystems, geophysics and geo-objects. The results were satisfactory, since the mapped units were validated in field activities to recognize the cartographic product.Keywords: Multiscalar Analysis. Coastal Geomorphology.

Natural  stand changes in the forest reserve of Liedekerke were analysed during the  period    1986-1996, using a permanent grid of circular plots. The monitoring  concentrated on natural    changes in species composition, using stem number and basal area as  indicators, and changes    in spatial distribution and colonization capacities of trees and shrubs,  with special interest in the    competition between exotic and indigenous species. After only a decade of  monitoring important    natural changes in the woody layer were detected. The pioneer forest is  gradually maturing    through self-thinning processes and shifts in species composition. The  overall stem number    decreased with 33.6%, while the basal area increased with 20.9%. Birch (Betula pendula/    pubescens) and indigenous oak (Quercus robur/petraea) remained  dominant. More tolerant    exotic species, like red oak (Quercus rubra) and sweet chestnut (Castanea  sativa), are slowly    increasing their share in the species composition and expanding their  range. Pioneer species on    the other hand, like aspen (Populus tremula), willow (Salix  capreaicinerealaurita), alder buckthorn    (Frangula alnus) and  common (Alnus glutinosa)  and grey alder (A. incana),  strongly declined.    Black cherry (Prunus serotina) seems to be slowly invading the forest due to its  massive    natural regeneration. Strong competition may be expected especially from  rowan ash (Sorbus    aucuparia), which showed similar regeneration  and colonization capacities. Elder (Sambucus    nigra) dramatically extented its range, though  its share remains marginal. Beech remained absent    most probably due to the lack of mature trees in the vacinity of the  forest. Finally this    change detection allowed that general predictions could be made on the  future natural development    and composition of this forest reserve, which could serve forest management  decisions.
