    Manejo da fertilidade do solo em sistema plantio direto.

    O plantio direto pode ser um sistema de cultivo em que nao ha revolvimento do solo, promove a cobertura deste com residuos culturais e acarreta marcantes alteracoes na fertilidade. O acumulo de nutrientes, especialmente o de fosforo, elevacao do pH e a reducao da saturacao por aluminio nos primeiros centimetros de solo tem relacao estreita com o aumento do teor de materia organica na camada mais superficial (0-10cm). Essas pecularidades do Sistema Plantio Direto (SPD) implicam em diferentes estrategias de manejo da fertilidade do solo. Como exemplo, devido a heterogeneidade vertical e horizontal, a metodologia de amostragem do solo sera diferente daquela usada no Sistema Plantio Convencional (SPC). Uma vez estabelecido o SPC, o corretivo devera ser aplicado supercialmente, sem incorporacao. No manejo do nitrogenio, nao se deve considerar uma cultura isoladamente, mas o sistema envolvendo as rotacoes e/ou sucessoes dela.200

    Relationship between morphology and trophic ecology in an assemblage of passerine birds in riparian forests of the Paraná River (Argentina)

    We describe the ecomorphology of an assemblage of bird species found in riparian forests of the Middle Paraná River, Argentina. We sought to determine (1) the more important morphological characteristics that separate coexisting species, (2) whether such separation was related to the trophic ecology of each species and (3) whether a priori guilds showed morphological similarity. We tested the hypotheses that (a) a species' morphology is related to the trophic ecology of that species and (b) that species of a priori guilds are morphometrically more similar to each other than to species of different a priori guilds. For this, we considered an assemblage of 29 species of birds from riparian forest that were sampled with mist nets during the 2011 and 2014 breeding seasons. We obtained morphometric measurements of captured individuals and supplemented those data with measurements from museum specimens. Trophic characterisation (diet and trophic microhabitat) was based on a literature review. Results showed a separation of bird species as a function of variables related to trophic ecology (diets and trophic microhabitats) and morphology. After controlling for phylogenetic constraint, species' morphology partially reflected the trophic ecology of the species, supporting the central hypothesis of the ecomorphological discipline and showing that the use of trophic and morphometric data provides complementary data to improve the guild organisation of riparian bird assemblages.Fil: Quiroga, Virginia Mariela.
