Carbono e Fauna Edáfica sob mineração de diamante e nucleo de recuperação de area degradada, Gilbuéis - PI

Abstract

Mining is one of the oldest anthropogenic activities practiced. In Brazil, the activity, in the beginning, was carried out clandestinely, as there was no adequate monitoring, which caused several outbreaks of environmental degradation mainly in the municipalities that are potentially prospectable. Human activities, with regard to the use of renewable or non-renewable natural resources, invariably cause an environmental impact proportional to their intensity. The present work has the objective of analyzing two areas that were directly and indirectly affected by the mining process, where after the analysis of the soil fauna and the carbon stock were compared the obtained results and from them a percentage of degradation suffered by each area was obtained And their degree of recovery, where the mining process increased the soil density in relation to the native forest area, in the mining area a process of drainage of the carbon of the soil occurs and also its stock, the diversity of species found indicate Areas are recovering.
