Neste livro, buscamos disponibilizar uma ferramenta que auxilie no processamento de imagens de satélite para monitoramento da cobertura do solo com ênfase na identificação de cicatrizes de fogo em diferentes composições falsa-cor, através da utilização de bases de dados e softwares gratuitos, ou seja, um guia prático de identificação de incêndios em imagens de satélite gratuitas. Contribuindo, desta forma, tanto na aquisição de dados, como no seu processamento e nos estudos referentes à cobertura do solo do país. Consideramos isso algo fundamental para análise da biodiversidade de um determinado ambiente de estudo onde ocorre prolongada época de seca.
As páginas deste e-book exploram a majestade das árvores, testemunhas silenciosas do tempo e da mudança da paisagem. Há também árvores exóticas, cujas peculiaridades nos remetem a terras distantes e nos lembram a incrível diversidade da natureza. Além disso, existe a possibilidade de descobrir árvores monumentais, cujo valor histórico o fará mergulhar na memória da universidade e das pessoas que a frequentaram. Deve-se ressaltar que essa publicação não se limita a mostrar a beleza dos exemplares, mas também nos convida a refletir sobre a importância da preservação desses tesouros naturais e do nosso papel como guardiões do meio ambiente. Compreender a singularidade e o valor dessas árvores nos motiva a protegê-las e nos leva a incentivar a conservação dos seus habitats. Nosso desejo é que este livro inspire em você um olhar mais atento e uma conexão profunda com a flora da UFMS, que te motive a explorar os espaços naturais que o rodeia e a descobrir e apreciar a sua beleza única.
Sixteen artists from 9 countries created works of art inspired by ecology and the environment that were specifically developed for the exhibition, in dialogue with the MAMBO curatorial team. Most of the artistic projects were specially commissioned for the 32nd São Paulo Biennial. "Incerteza viva is a collective process that began in early 2015 and brings together teachers, students, artists, activists, educators, scientists and thinkers in Brazil, Colombia and other places." --Page [1].

This book presents key recent developments in biofuel policy, products, processes, patents and innovative technologies. It presents several case studies, which maximize reader insights into how innovative green energy technologies can be implemented on an industrial scale, with illustrations, photos and new approaches. It also analyzes in detail several different technological aspects of the research into and production of green fuels from the first, second and third generation, such as, bioethanol, biogas, biohydrogen, biobutanol, biofuels from pyrolysis, and discusses their economic and environmental impacts. A new source of information for engineers, technicians and students involved in production and research in the biofuels sector, this book also provides a valuable resource for industry, covering the current and future status of biofuels.
This book covers pot-pollen—the other product, besides honey, stored in cerumen pots by Meliponini. Critical assessment is given of stingless bee and pot-pollen biodiversity in the Americas, Africa, Asia and Oceania. Topics addressed include historical biogeography, cultural knowledge, bee foraging behavior, pollination, ecological interactions, health applications, microbiology, the natural history of bee nests, and chemical, bioactive and individual plant components in stored pollen. Pot-pollen maintains the livelihoods of stingless bees and provides many interesting biological products that are just now beginning to be understood. The Meliponini have developed particular nesting biologi...
