Aplicação de sistemas agroflorestais para a restauração ambiental de taludes em campos de produção de petróleo: o caso de desmatamento em Araçás (Bahia)

Abstract

The exploration and drilling in North Bahia Coast has caused environmental degradation by removal of native vegetation, destruction of ecosystems, habitat fragmentation, biodiversity loss, soil erosion and siltation of rivers. Thus, projects to restore degraded areas are elaborated seeking restoring the areas used during the exploration activity in order to restore the ecological integrity of the site. Thus, this study evaluated the techniques of agroforestry systems (Saf) and restoration of areas impacted by oil exploration on land strategy, using Field Araçás (BA), as study area, adjusting technical intensity of disturbance caused. It is important to planning, based on the diagnostic landscape level, involving the deployment of the Saf nucleation techniques. To achieve the proposed objective a literature review about the different agroforestry techniques and criteria required for implementation was performed, and an analysis of the history of the field Araçás in order to verify the feasibility of using the proposed strategy. The study concluded that the Saf techniques can be used in restoration projects, although not the main objective of this system .
