Avaliação da qualidade do solo na área de extração de argila após a introdução de espécies vegetais inoculadas com os fungos micorrizicos arbusculares

Abstract

The red ceramics installed in the city of Marabá – PA, whose activities represent impacts to the environment, are pressured by the government, legislation and public opnion to adopt concrete measures for conservation and environmental control. Given this reality, the minimization of environmental impacts depends on the initial identification of the main problems: causes, developments, consequences and other aspects of an ongoing program of environmental monitoring. Thus, knowledge of logic and specific environmental problems, it becomes possible to define truly viable actions to reduce their affect significantly. As the environmental problem is not related only to potters ventures, the awareness of entrepreneurs and the community at large, is essential in order to create a culture of conservation and rational use of natural resoures. However, the implementation and success of such actions depend on guidelines developed from the knowledge of environmental and systemic factors acting os it. This work of completion is inserted in the research project entitle “Rehabilitation of areas impacted by clay extraction through the use of plants inoculated with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi”, driven by covenant signed between the Federal University of Pará (UFPA) and Union of Ceramics Red and Marabá region (SINDCERV) and aims to determine the soil quality of degraded areas after the implementation of native forest species inoculated with mycorrhizal fungi. The evaluation was performed using chemical analysis and biological soil which they could realize significant results in relation to the recovery process. The soils of the study area are in the process of rehabilitation, since the soil biota is being reincorporated into the system slowly. The research proved the importance of using indicators to assess soil quality tha have some technical and environmental advantages, particularly in the diagnosis of soil conditions.
