Espécies arbóreas em sistemas agroflorestais na Microrregião de Cametá: análise bibliométrica da produção científica brasileira

Abstract

The study investigates agroforestry systems (AFS) in the microregion of Cametá, Pará, Brazil, with an emphasis on the survey and analysis of tree species, including shrubs and palms, found in scientific articles and Brazilian journals through bibliometric analysis technique. The approach aims to understand the diversity, relevance, and potential of these species in agroforestry systems for the sustainable development of the region. The choice of this study area is justified by the importance of AFS as a strategy for sustainable land management, capable of reconciling agricultural production, environmental conservation, and the promotion of resilient livelihoods, in addition to its socioeconomic characteristics that contribute pertinently to local traditional communities. The research was based on a survey in national journals, as a way of collecting relevant data on the composition and distribution of species in the agroforestry systems of the region. This method allowed the analysis of scientific and technical studies, providing fundamental information for the characterization and understanding of the systems. Throughout the survey, it was possible to identify a wide diversity of species present in the SAFS of the microregion, including those of economic, ecological, and cultural value. Among the most frequent are: Açaí (Euterpe oleracea Mart.), andiroba (Carapa guianensis Aubl), cacau (Theobroma cacao L.), cupuaçu (Theobroma grandiflorum (Willd. ex Spreng.) K.Schum.), banana (Musa paradisiaca L.), bacuri (Platonia insignis Mart.), castanha-do-Pará (Bertholletia excelsa Bonpl), coco (Cocos nucifera L.), virola (Virola surinamensis (Rol.) Warb) and mangueira (Mangifera indica L.). However, the research process also highlighted challenges, especially regarding the availability of information that encompassed the specific methodological characteristics of the study region. In summary, the study on agroforestry systems in the microregion of Cametá revealed the importance of these systems as a strategy for sustainable land use, emphasizing the need for more comprehensive and specific research that contributes to the better understanding and utilization of these resources in the region.
