Abstract. By means of the multitemporal approach, we analyze the changes in land use and vegetation cover in the São Francisco do Sul and Itapoá municipalities, located in the northern coast of the State of Santa Catarina, Brazil. LANDSAT satellite images from 1991 to 2019 were analyzed and classified into four classes of soil use and occupation (vegetated area, bare soil, urbanized area, and water body) by the GEOBIA method. Weighted sum analysis was applied to the ‘urbanized area’ class and the data available on geologic units, so as to identify areas vulnerable to groundwater contamination. The vegetated areas of São Francisco do Sul and Itapoá have diminished along the 2000’s, but recovery measures, such as reforesting and restraint of soil exposure, have been adopted, with 89.61% success. The urban zone has increased 3.36% in the last 28 years. The achieved overall accuracy for the classification was of 79.33% and the Kappa coefficient was 0.69. The analysis of groundwater vulnerability to contamination helped identify regions more susceptible to pollution, which coincide almost entirely with those where urbanization was more intense in areas where unconsolidated sediments predominate.

A geologia de superfície da região costeira, entre o Rio Saí-Guaçu e a Baía de São Francisco, litoral norte de Santa Catarina, é constituída por rochas do embasamento cristalino Pré-Cambriano e pela cobertura sedimentar do Cenozóico. O objetivo deste trabalho é apresentar um novo mapa geológico dessa cobertura, na escala 1:50.000, com ênfase na planície costeira. Na área, foram identificadas as seguintes unidades: Fm. Mina Velha do Mioceno Inferior; colúvios, leques aluviais e depósitos fluviais, do Quaternário indiferenciado; terraços costeiros do Pleistoceno Superior (120.000 anos A.P.) e do Holoceno (< 7.000 anos A.P.); planícies paleoestuarinas do Holoceno; dunas, praias e mangues atuais. A distribuição em superfície e subsuperfície e o empilhamento das fácies dos depósitos costeiros permitem compreender alguns aspectos da evolução geológica e paleogeográfica da área durante o Quaternário. A ocorrência de extensos terraços do Pleistoceno e Holoceno, a presença de paleolagunas na retaguarda dos terraços e a ocorrência de sedimentos argilosos lagunares sob os terraços permitem inferir que, durante os ciclos transgressivos regressivos do Pleistoceno superior e Holoceno, existiram na região barreiras transgressivas e regressivas. A extensão das planícies paleoestuarinas indica que durante o máximo transgressivo do Holoceno existiam grandes estuários e lagunas. A morfologia dos cordões litorâneos evidencia que no Holoceno houve a formação de esporões paralelos à costa, que teriam crescido para o norte sob o efeito da deriva litorânea predominante. O crescimento desses esporões teria desviado a desembocadura do Rio Saí-Mirim para o norte. Durante essa migração, o rio erodiu a parte interna desses esporões e, provavelmente, as barreiras transgressivas do Holoceno. GEOLOGICAL MAP OF THE COASTAL PLAIN BETWEEN THE SAÍ-GUAÇU RIVER AND SÃO FRANCISCO BAY, NORTHERN COAST OF THE STATE OF SANTA CATARINA Abstract The studied area is located in the northeastern area of the State of Santa Catarina between 25o57' S and 26o14' S. The surface geology of the area is composed by rocks from the Precambrian basement and from the Cenozoic sedimentary cover. In conventional geological maps, the Cenozoic sedimentary package appears as an undifferentiated unit (e.g. Siga Jr. et al. 1993). Martin et al. (1988) presented the first map of the coastal Quaternary of the State of Santa Catarina, in 1:200,000 scale. Later, Horn Filho (1997) presented a map, in the scale 1:50,000, of the São Francisco do Sul region. The objective of this study is to present a new geological map, in the scale 1:50,000, of the coastal plain between the Saí-Guaçu River and the São Francisco Bay. In the studied area the following Cenozoic age units were identified: Mina Velha Formation, probably of Lower Miocene; colluvium and alluvial fans of undifferentiated Quaternary; fluvial deposits of undifferentiated Quaternary; Upper Pleistocene coastal terraces (120,000 years B.P.); Holocene coastal terraces (< 7,000 years B.P.); Holocene paleoestuarine plains; dunes; beaches and mangroves. The distribution on the surface and subsurface and the layers of facies of the coastal deposits allow an understanding of some aspects of the geological and paleogeographical evolution of the area during the Quaternary. There are extensive Pleistocene and Holocene terraces, the presence of paleolagoons on the terrace backs and also fine lagoon sediments below the terraces makes one infer that during the Upper Pleistocene and Holocene there were transgressive barrier and regressive beach/foredune ridges in the region, similar to those described by Lessa et al. (2000) in the State of Paraná. The extension of the paleoestuarine plains indicates that during the Holocene transgressive maximum there were large estuaries and lagoons. The morphology of the beach/foredune ridges provides evidence that in the Holocene spits parallel to the coast foreland that would have grown northward due to the effect of the dominant littoral drift. The growth of these spits caused the migration of the inlet of Saí-Mirim River more than 6 km northward throughout the last 5,000 years. During this migration the river eroded the internal part of these spits and the Holocene transgressive barriers.

Abstract Soil fertility and nutritional imbalance are among the main limitations in banana production. The present study aimed to diagnose soil fertility and nutrition of bananas trees cultivated in the state of Santa Catarina, southern Brazil. Leaf and soil samples were collected, and banana yield was quantified in 2018 and 2019 in 53 orchards in the regions of ‘Vale do Itajaí’ and northern coast of Santa Catarina. Although orchards had satisfactory yield (42 t /ha/year), limitations related to soil fertility and banana crop nutrition were evident. The observed yield is 59.6 % of its full potential. Liming is still recurrent, mainly before orchard establishment. Fertilizer application is widespread, but in many cases, doses are overestimated. Ca, Zn, Cu, and B contents increased in leaves emitted in periods of higher soil water availability and higher temperatures. The results highlight the influence of weather conditions on the supply of these nutrients to banana plants. Nutritional factors are the main limiting factors in banana production in the state of Santa Catarina, compared to non-nutritional factors.

The goal of the present study was to assess the temporal and spatial distribution of L. schmitti in three bays of the northern coast of the State of São Paulo, Ubatumirim (UBM), Ubatuba (UBA) and Mar Virado (MV), over a period of two years (1998 and 1999). Abiotic factors were monitored to test their influence on the distribution of the species through redundancy analysis. The shrimp were captured using a commercial fishing boat equipped with double-rig trawling nets at six sampling points. A total of 5658 individuals were collected during the study (4437 and 1221 in the first and second years, respectively). The number of individuals differed between years, bays, seasons and sampling locations. The highest number of L. schmitti was collected in MV (N = 2747), followed by UBM (N = 1649) and UBA (N = 1262). Shrimp abundance correlated positively with organic matter content, salinity and temperature, with the highest number of individuals collected from sites with intermediate levels of organic content (4 and 6%) and increasing when the sediment had a higher proportion of fine and very fine sand + clay. Abundance was also associated negatively with rainfall, given that the analysed population showed a seasonal pattern, with an increase in capture rate in those months following the rainy season. Average rainfall was 222.47 ± 138.68 mm, with a maximum of 538 mm and a minimum of 22.4 mm. The results obtained in this study suggest that, in the region of Ubatuba, temperature, salinity, organic content and rainfall modulate the distribution of these animals.

The temporal and spatial distribution of the toxic epiphytic dinoflagellate Ostreopsis cf. ovata was investigated off the Jeju coastal waters, Korea, from July 2016 to January 2019. The results showed that the presence of Ostreopsis cf. ovata in 184 macroalgae was 79.3%, and it was more frequently attached to red algae and brown algae than to green algae. The abundance of Ostreopsis cf. ovata as determined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reactions (qPCR) and microscopic analysis was 4–3204 cells g−1, and the maximum abundance observed in September 2018, when the water temperature was 24.4 °C. The abundance was higher in summer and autumn than in spring and winter. Spatially, high abundance was observed in autumn on the northern coast of Jeju Island and, in summer, in the southern and eastern coastal waters. The water temperature of Jeju coastal waters in winter remained higher than 15 °C, and this species could be overwintering in the Jeju waters. Therefore, further monitoring and research are needed to evaluate the proliferation of Ostreopsis cf. ovata, which contains a novel toxin with unidentified effects on humans.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the methodology used for assessing the spatial distribution of specialized cardiac care units. METHODS A modeling and simulation method was adopted for the practical application of cardiac care service in the state of Santa Catarina, Southern Brazil, using the p-median model. As the state is divided into 21 health care regions, a methodology which suggests an arrangement of eight intermediate cardiac care units was analyzed, comparing the results obtained using data from 1996 and 2012. RESULTS Results obtained using data from 2012 indicated significant changes in the state, particularly in relation to the increased population density in the coastal regions. The current study provided a satisfactory response, indicated by the homogeneity of the results regarding the location of the intermediate cardiac care units and their respective regional administrations, thereby decreasing the average distance traveled by users to health care units, located in higher population density areas. The validity of the model was corroborated through the analysis of the allocation of the median vertices proposed in 1996 and 2012. CONCLUSIONS The current spatial distribution of specialized cardiac care units is more homogeneous and reflects the demographic changes that have occurred in the state over the last 17 years. The comparison between the two simulations and the current configuration showed the validity of the proposed model as an aid in decision making for system expansion.

ABSTRACT: Fascioliasis is a zoonosis of global distribution caused by the parasitic trematode Fasciola spp. Infection in humans can occur in areas endemic for animal fascioliasis, suggesting the need for studies on this parasitosis and its determinants. This exploratory study aimed to analyze the spatial distribution of bovine fascioliasis in the state of Santa Catarina, Brazil, based on cases notified between 2015 and 2017 in a state abattoir, located in the municipality of Orleans, and to associate disease occurrence with altitude, temperature, and rainfall. The research was conducted at Centro Universitário Barriga Verde (UNIBAVE)/Orleans, SC and Fundação Oswaldo Cruz/Rio de Janeiro, RJ. During the study period, the abattoir received animals from 58 municipalities in that state. Of the animals slaughtered in that period, 10,81% were infected with Fasciola hepatica. Presence of bovine fascioliasis infection was identified in the South and Southeast regions of the state, with higher prevalence rates in the latter. There was an association between low altitudes and higher occurrence of cases in the municipalities assessed. In addition, prevalence of bovine fascioliasis was higher in municipalities with high temperatures and low rainfall. Therefore, these results should be considered for planning disease control measures in the South and Southeast regions of the state of Santa Catarina.
