The dynamics of land use/cover in the Amazon region have driven negative changes in the different environmental systems, which in many cases present very serious scenarios. This situation makes the actions of environmental planning and management of natural resources of utmost importance. Thus, this research aims perform an integrated analysis of the landscape in the Acará river basin, Northeast of Para, in the Eastern Amazon, through geoprocessing techniques, in order to subsidize environmental planning actions. For this, the theoreticalmethodological foundations of the geo-environmental approach were adopted to analyze in an integrated and holistic way the aspects, conditions, problems, fragilities, and potentialities of the basin landscape. This research was based on the collection of bibliographies on the subject, as well as on socioeconomic and geocartographic data, for the making of maps and thematic charts. The results indicate that the basin presents five geoenvironmental units marked by low socioeconomic conditions and low and unsatisfactory environmental sanitation, where the implementation of specific public policies directly influenced changes in land use, both in the sense of lower deforestation rates, and in the expansion of oil palm fields, mostly in degraded areas, but advancing to forest areas. It was also observed that land uses, especially agriculture and cattle-raising activities, have substantially degraded riparian zones, besides influencing the maintenance of water in the water system, impacting areas that play vital functions for the hydro-environmental sustainability of the basin. Thus, general recommendations are presented to support actions of environmental planning and management in the Acará river basin to achieve a framework of hydro-environmental sustainability.

Efeito da monocultura de dendezeiro (Elaeis guineensis JACQ.) na integridade física e nas assembleias de peixes de igarapés da Amazônia Oriental
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2014-02-25) FERREIRA, Márcio Cunha; JUEN, Leandro; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1369357248133029; MONTAG, Luciano Fogaça de Assis; http://lattes.cnpq.br/4936237097107099
The aim of the present study is to evaluate the effect of palm oil farming Elaeis guineenses JACQ. in the integrity of physical habitat and in the assemblages of fishes in upland streams of Eastern Amazonia. The sampling sites were established in sections (150 m) of 23 streams in the Acará-Mirim basin, northeastern of Pará state. According to the results of the index of physical integrity, all streams (n = 8) that drain forest areas were classified as preserved (IPI = 5.00 to 4.00), whereas the 15 streams that drain oil palm plantations have been classified as changed (IIF = 3.67 to 2.67). 9,734 specimens of fish belonging to six orders, 24 families, over 64 species were collected. The most abundant species during the study were Microcharacidium weitzmani, Apistogramma gr. regain, Trichomycterus hasemani, Hyphessobrycon heterorhabdus and Copella arnoldi. The richness observed in streams that drain plantations was higher (S = 61) than found in the streams in forest fragments (S = 42). The results of PERMANOVA show that exist differences between sites (GL = 22; pseud – F = 2.44; P = 0.01), however the ordering produced by NMDS shows that this difference is subtle (stress = 0.19). a similar result was obtained using functional trophic groups abundance (stress = 0.18). the results of TITAN indicates that some species are adapted to persist in certain environmental conditions, such as Aequidens tetramerus, Apistogramma agassizii and Microcharacidium weitzmani are associated with lower physical habitat integrity (P < 0.05; purity > 0.95; reliability > 0.95), while the species Hyphessobrycon heterorhabdus and Helogenes marmoratus shown to be indicative of more intact habitats (P < 0.05; purity > 0.95; reliability > 0.95). There was no correlation between the species richness and the index of physical integrity, while the only functional trophic groups that correlated with the index were the diggers and collectors browsers. These groups are composed by Cichlid fishes that have tolerant and generalist behaviors that may have explained his great contribution in the fish assemblage even in places where sedimentation was high compared to places with the nearest natural setting. This shows that even species richness was higher in altered streams there are strong evidences of loss of environmental quality in streams draining plantations generated by the cultivation of oil palm.

Interferentes bio-sócio-ambientais na exposição ao mercúrio em crianças ribeirinhas de diferentes regiões da Amazônia
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2011-06-27) AMORAS, Walter Wanderley; SILVEIRA, Luiz Carlos de Lima; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9383834641490219
The present study examined possible bio-socio-environmental factors interfering in mercury exposure in children riverside. 103 children participated in the regions of the Tapajos and Acará Rivers and Marajó Island. The type of study was performed cross-sectional analysis. Hair samples were collected for analysis of the Hgtotal levels, blood (hemoglobin and hematocrit analysis) and faeces. Anthropometric indices were used to analyze children's growth. In the evaluation of psychomotor development test was applied modified Denver II screening. The highest average of Hgtotal levels in hair samples of children was in the Tapajós region (5.58 mg / g) and 0.65 g / g in other locations. The prevalence of Hgtotal> 10 mg / g was 25% and 7.5% in São Luiz do Tapajós and Barreiras. Daily consumption of fish by the families of the children as it relates to levels of Hgtotal p (value) was <0.05. The prevalence of breastfeeding duration in the groups of children under 12 months and greater than 6 months for locations in the Tapajos River, when Hgtotal related contents in hair of children with p (value) <0.05. The prevalence of anemia in the Tapajós region was 46.7% and when related to Hgtotal levels p (value) <0.0001. The parasitological tests indicated that 68.3% were multiinfested frequent when related Hgtotal p (value) <0.05. The profile of growth observed through the nutritional indicators status was 82.6% normal weight for age and 14.5% with very low weight and low. Psychomotor performance assessed by the Denver II screening test had changed five children as suspicions of developmental delays. It was concluded that in locations around the gold mining activities riverine children are at risk of mercury contamination. Bio-social- environmental factors interfering in exposure to mercury such as daily consumption of fish, length of breastfeeding, anemia, intestinal parasites showed significant statistical relationships with Hgtotal in the children's hair.
