The presence of the recently described fungus-farming ant genus and species Cyatta abscondita is reported in the northwestern region of Misiones Province in Argentina. A single worker of C. abscondita was collected in a pitfall trap in a mature plantation of Pinus taeda in the Atlantic Forest biome. This finding expands the distribution of the genus and species, extending it farther south in the Neotropics.

Degree Of Fragmentation

Forest fragmentation is defined as the process by which a continuous area of habitat is reduced in size and divided between spaces. Therefore, due to the increase in these areas, this study aimed to conduct a systematic review of the literature on forest fragments in the Atlantic Forest biome in order to verify their main characteristics and landscape ecology. Publications in search platforms referring to the period from 2000 to 2020 were analyzed such as: SciELO, Google academic and CAPES journals portal. The search terms entered were: “Studies of forest fragments in the Atlantic Forest biome” and “Landscape ecology in forest fragments”. A total of 15 articles were selected from among the works found, and 5 of these were chosen to be evaluated in the present study. Four of the five works were carried out in the state of Espírito Santo, close to basins and sub-basins, and only one work was carried out in a state park. Thus, the evaluated works with the theme, study of fragmentation and ecology of the landscape showed a high degree of fragmentation, meaning that they have fragments smaller than 5 hectares; in addition, all fragments have an irregular edge effect. Therefore, measures aimed at the conservation of biodiversity are needed in all places so that there is ecological restoration of the landscape and conservation of fauna and flora in the Atlantic Forest biome.

The Atlantic Forest Biome is among the world’s hotspots for biodiversity conservation and concentrates the greatest diversity of amphibians in the world. However, information on the distribution pattern of species is largely unknown in this biome. This study report new records of Vitreorana uranoscopa for northeast region of Rio Grande do Sul.

Pastagens sob práticas de manejo ineficientes tornam-se degradadas, provocando sérios problemas socioambientais e econômicos. Assim, entender a dinâmica dos sistemas pastoris e suas interações com o meio físico torna-se essencial na busca de alternativas sustentáveis para a agropecuária. Estudou-se manejo, dinâmica anual e interações socioambientais em pastagens de uma bacia hidrográfica no bioma Mata Atlântica em Minas Gerais, Brasil, durante o ano hidrológico 2016/2017. Utilizou-se dados de campo, relatos de agricultores e sensoriamento remoto via imagens LANDSAT 8 OLI e Google Earth Pro®. Foi proposto um índice de qualidade para pastagens da região. As pastagens apresentaram, em média, qualidade moderada. Níveis de degradação foram altos, oscilando de forma quadrática (níveis 2, 4, 5 e IDP) e potencial (nível 1) com a precipitação (p < 0,01), o que sugere que a irrigação possa ser prática eficiente no controle da degradação. Durante o ano, pelo menos 51,27% das pastagens apresentaram algum sinal de degradação, atingindo-se a marca de 91,32%, no período seco. Os resultados sugerem pior qualidade e maiores níveis de degradação de pastagens em terras elevadas e declivosas. Devido às condições socioambientais locais, indica-se o uso de sistemas silvipastoris agroecológicos no manejo das pastagens.Palavras-chave: uso da terra, sensoriamento remoto, relação solo paisagem, Zona da Mata, índice de qualidade. MANAGEMENT, QUALITY AND DEGRADATION DYNAMICS OF PASTURES IN ATLANTIC FOREST BIOME, MINAS GERAIS – BRASIL ABSTRACT:Pastures under inefficient management practices get degraded, leading to serious socioeconomic and environmental issues. That being said, understanding the dynamics of such systems and their interaction with the environment is essential when it comes to looking towards sustainable alternatives for livestock activities. The management, annual dynamics and socio-environmental interactions in pastures in an hydrographic basin located in Atlantic Forest biome, Minas Gerais, Brasil, were studied during the hydrological year of 2016/2017. Field data and farmers reports were utilized, such as remote sensing via images from LANDSAT 8 OLI and Google Earth Pro®. A quality index was proposed for the pastures, which usually presented medium quality. Degradation levels were high, oscillating in a quadratic basis (levels 2, 4, 5 and IDP) and potential (level 1) with precipitation (p < 0,01), which suggests that irrigation might be an efficient practice when it comes to degradation control. During the year, at least 51,27% of pastures have presented signs of degradation, achieving 91,32% in dry periods. The results suggest less quality and bigger degradation levels in pastures located in high and steep areas. Considering the local environmental conditions, agroecological silvopasture systems are recommended regarding the pastures management.Keywords: land use, remote sensing, soil/landscape relationships, Zona da Mata, quality index.
