CHARACTERIZATION OF THE FLORISTIC COMPOSITION OF AGROFORESTRY HOMEGARDENS IN VILA DE CUERA, BRAGANÇA, PARÁ

Abstract

ABSTRACT: The agroforestry yards are characterized as a traditional land use system, by means of residents in rural, peri-urban and urban areas and services related to the acquisition of biodiversity conservation. This work is a project for the production of agroforestry farms in Vila Cuera, Bragança municipality, state of Pará. For this work, four agroforestry farms were randomly selected in Vila de Cuera, a rural area, in the municipality of Bragança, Pará, where a semi-structured questionnaire for families was published. The diameter at breast height (DBH), the size of the four quintals, was measured, which totaled an average area of 1,819.28 m² and the height of the species in the areas was estimated. Subsequently, the community was divided into upper, middle and lower strata, and the relative frequency phytosociological parameters, Shannon-Wiener diversity index (H ') and Pielou equability (J') were calculated. A total of 217 individuals were enrolled, which can be targeted both for marketing and family consumption, as well as for use in home medicine and ornamental medicine. In addition, many individuals are present in the lower stratum, which characterizes a community with young plants, with açai and coconut trees found in all strata and with high frequency. In addition, the areas are composed of a very diverse cluster of arboreal, herbaceous and shrub species. In this way, agroforestry yards are managed in a traditional way by the keepers, most of the species are focused on consumption and subsequent commercialization, and a high diversity of species.KEYWORDS: Amazon, Agroecosystems, Food safety.
