PELD PSAM

Project approved in CNPq / MCTI / CNFAP-FAPs / PELD Call no. 21/2020 - Long-term Ecological Research Program - PELD.

The general objective of the project is to understand ecosystemic processes, biological interactions and human impacts on biodiversity in the southwestern Amazon region. Its specific objectives are:

Map_PELD_PSAM_Project.

 
  • Resample biological groups in sampling modules that have been sampled in the last 10 years and evaluate the effect of the BR-319 highway on these groups;
  • Develop a rapid sampling method for understory plants that can be used by ICMBio in the MONITORA program and determine its relationship with frugivorous butterfly assemblages already sampled in the program;
  • Test the ability of low-cost NIR spectrometers to identify organisms in the field;
  • Determine if Na is limiting for pollination and decomposition processes in southwestern Amazonia;
  • Produce didactic material to be used in classes for students in the region.
