Abstract Bamboo (Bambusa sp.) is a grass species with high potential for exploitation, however, this raw material is easily attacked by xylophagous agents such as Coleoptera. The objective of this study is thus to analyse the presence of wood-boring beetles associated with Bambusa sp. in Alta Floresta, Mato Grosso, Brazil. The study was carried out in a bamboo plantation, from August 2016 to July 2017. Two models of ethanolic traps were used, PET Santa Maria and ESALQ-84. Three families of wood-boring beetles were observed in this study: Bostrichidae, Cerambycidae and Curculionidae. 2,144 individuals were identified, belonging to 19 species, in four subfamilies and 11 tribes, and the species Xyleborus affinis was the most frequently collected. Thus, this study constitutes an important contribution to the knowledge of coleoborers associated with bamboo plantations, with the registration of the occurrence of species, as well as contributing to the knowledge of the entomofauna associated with species cultivated in the Southern Amazon.

As preocupações ambientais no Brasil cresceram nos últimos anos. Uma dessas preocupações é em relação à destinação de resíduos das atividades extrativistas que ocorrem em todo o país. O ouriço da castanha-do-brasil, proveniente da atividade extrativista, representa um desses resíduos. Uma destinação economicamente sustentável para o ouriço é que esse pode servir de matéria-prima para o desenvolvimento de um novo produto ambientalmente correto. Contudo, uma pesquisa de mercado, com base no perfil e nas percepções dos futuros consumidores, se torna fundamental para um correto posicionamento estratégico para a comercialização de um novo produto. Para isso, foi utilizada uma pesquisa na cidade de Sinop - MT, por meio de um questionário estruturado. Posteriormente, foi possível verificar o perfil dos possíveis consumidores, além de analisar os principais fatores que podem influenciar na decisão de compra do produto. A pesquisa descritiva nãoprobabilística contou com 316 entrevistados. Os resultados revelaram que os valores referentes à consciência ambiental demonstraram a preocupação dos entrevistados com a questão ambiental e consumo consciente, porém, apesar dessa preocupação, não existe por parte dos entrevistados a atitude de influenciar ou conscientizar pessoas próximas. Também foi verificado que o principal fator impactante na decisão de compra é o fator econômico (fator renda). Palavras-chave: Biocarvão. Renda. Resíduo. Castanha-do-Pará. Abstract Environmental concerns in Brazil have grown in recent years. One of those concerns is regarding the disposal of waste from extractive activities that occur throughout the country. “Hedgehog” of Brazil nut, from extractive activity, represents one of those residues. An economically sustainable destination for the “hedgehogs” is that they can be used as a raw material for the development of a new environmentally friendly product: the activated carbon filter of “hedgehog ” of Brazil nut. However, a market analysis based on the profile and perceptions of future consumers becomes essential for a correct strategic positioning for the commercialization of a new product. Thus, a market research was used in the city of Sinop – MT, through a questionnaire to collect the information. Later, it was possible to verify the potential consumers’ profile and to analyze the main factors that may influence the decision to purchase the product. The non-probabilistic descriptive research had 316 respondents. The results showed that the values regarding environmental awareness, demonstrated the interviewees’ concern with the environmental issue and conscious consumption, however, despite this concern, there is no attitude when it comes to the interviewees to influence or raise awareness among close people . It was also found that the main impacting factor in the purchase decision is the economic factor (income factor). Keywords: Biochar. Income. Waste. Brazil Nut.

ABSTRACT Mato Grosso, with a total area of 903357 km², does not have an official methodology for estimating soil potential acidity (H + Al), and determination of H + Al using the standard method is onerous and time consuming. The objective of this study was to compare estimated values of H + Al determined using the standard calcium acetate method with those obtained using three buffer methods, namely, the Shoemaker, McLean, and Pratt (SMP) buffer, Sikora buffer, and Santa Maria buffer (SMB) methods, with samples of the main classes of cultivated soils in the state of Mato Grosso. A total of 196 soil samples were collected from the arable layer (0-20 cm) in agropastoral and adjacent native systems. Statistical models were obtained and compared with models used by laboratories that are hypothetically inadequate because there is no calibration for soils in the state. After laboratory analyses, the paired H + Al and equilibrium pH values corresponding to the equilibrium of each buffer solution (SMP buffer, SMB, and Sikora buffer) were subjected to nonlinear regression analysis (P < 0.05). The SMB method, which does not release pollutant residues into the environment, was better than the Sikora and SMP methods for replacing the standard method used in state laboratories for soil analysis, that is, H + Al (cm3 c dm-3) = 51.189 -25.70 ln(pHSMB) (R2 = 0.88, P < 0.0001). Thus, if laboratories use uncalibrated equations to estimate soil potential acidity, the recommended limestone correction will be underestimated or overestimated, which may compromise crop productivity in Mato Grosso.

The ichthyofauna from 3 streams (Água Boa, Perobão, and Santa Maria) to the lower Iguatemi River were inventoried, which is located in the upper Paraná river basin, in Mato Grosso do Sul state, Brazil. Sites in the upper, intermediate, and lower portions of each stream were quarterly electrofished from March to December 2008. All sampled fish (n = 6,816 individuals) represented 43 species of 5 orders, and 16 families. The most abundant species was Phalloceros harpagos (63.5%), followed by Astyanax aff. paranae (10.6%), Hypostomus ancistroides (5.9%), Gymnotus inaequilabiatus (3.4%), and Knodus moenkhausii (2.7%). Despite the high ichthyofauna richness in the lower portion of Iguatemi River, the need to implement and/or expand soil conservation practices and riparian forest restoration is of utmost importance to maintain these populations in the long term.

The agroforest sector plays a leading role as a biomass supplier to obtain bio-based products that allowed an acceleration in the circular bioeconomy transition. This chapter applied a mixed-methods review to identify new attractive bio-based products and to evaluate its market potential in Portugal. Forest biomass was identified as an excellent raw material for (1) low-carbon building materials, (2) biotextiles, and (3) bioplastics. The potential of agro-food waste to obtain new bio-based materials was also emphasised. The new bioproducts identified have high potential and attractive markets. It was estimated that a 5% market share of these bioproducts in the global construction, textiles, and plastics markets in 2030 corresponds to an aggregate increase in revenues of 260-579 million € per year in Portugal. The environmental sustainability implications arising from the diffusion of these new biomaterials are also highlighted, focusing on the decarbonisation of the economy.

Construction of new biogas plant stations in Europe is a steadily growing trend, that is the reason why there is a need to find a proper alternative source of energy, which can replace traditional crops used for generation of energy. Microalgae represent a high potential of energy. When comparing microalgae with traditional crops, we can point out their high potential (oil content). During the production of biogas from traditional input materials, it is still a great potential of resulting organic waste – fermentation water (digestate), which can be used in a closed cycle in the intensive year-round cultivation of microalgae. Using the by-product (digestate) generated during the process of anaerobic digestion we can create a system for the cultivation of microalgae, which will in turn be used as a raw material for the biogas plant. Thanks to such application, the biogas plant can be more ‘self-sufficient’. This new innovative process can provide a prerequisite scale for increasing commercial use of bioenergy from microalgae. However, there is a need to find a reasonable way to produce the algae biomass to meet all ecological and economic requirements.

The cotton crop dating to 8,000 BC began with the Arabs who rudely spin and weave cotton fiber. Through the commercial deepening between Europe and the East the cotton culture gained its space in the European continent, in the middle of the seventeenth century predominated wool and over the years reached the other continents. In Brazil since the time of colonization, cotton cultivation is exploited for commercial purposes. The state of Mato Grosso leads the national production of cotton, since the economy of the same and of Brazil depend on this segment of the agribusiness that represents 15% of the national economy. In order for the cotton to reach high yields, it is necessary to have adequate nutritional management together with good practices of soil correction, since the crop is very demanding in relation to these two factors. However, it presents a certain singularity that stands out in the world scenario, because it is a fibrous and oleaginous culture, in other words, that originates products and by-products through its raw material, allowing an attractive differential that serves as an increase in income for producers who carry out this activity. In the cerrado, its cultivation serves as a viable alternative to promote the practice of rotating crops in previously cultivated areas with soybeans and corn, providing improvements in the biological quality of the soil, diversifying cropping systems making them more sustainable both by adding value to the product regarding the management of cotton. The crop is quite responsive to the fertilization and the conditions that the Cerrado provides for it, and it needs nutritional sources in several stages of its development. The objective of this study was to discuss the type of nutritional management that is used in the cotton crop under Cerrado conditions.
