Clearing and maintenance of PPBio research trails.

Between December 2016 and January 2017, the access trails and corridors of 42 plots were cleaned and maintained at the  collection sites of the Experimental Plantation of UFAM and the 01 Module of BR 319 (Purupuru - Km 34). The maintenance of the trails is carried out periodically in order to improve access and facilitate the locomotion of researchers in the research plots. In addition to the removal of fallen logs and branches, the pipes and plates were replaced every 50m and georeferenced. The plots were revitalized and georeferenced every 10 m using INCT-CENBAM resources.
