Abstract: The Cerrado is a Brazilian biome that has a great wealth of biodiversity, made up not only of species that make up the fauna and flora, but also a great cultural wealth, due to the traditional communities with distinct cultures that inhabit the region. The biological and integral study of the biome is one of the pillars for its preservation, where the knowledge developed and the appreciation of native plants, specifically Dipteryx alata Vogel (Fabaceae), is part of the long process of man-plant relationship, whose uses are closely related. Studying the way in which this species is used economically and its socio-productive chain is fundamental, as it provides means to act on its preservation in the environment. Dipteryx alata is a species of angiosperm from the Fabaceae family, native to the Brazilian Cerrado, which has a wide geographic distribution and can be found in association with other plant formations. In the socioeconomic chain, this species presents a great yield for the bioeconomy since its seeds can be used for various purposes in food. When we talk about the socio-productive chain of a given species, we must take into account all the stages that it goes through from its extraction to the final producer. It is possible to record the use and management of native species in extractivism, D. alata, which has high nutritional and economic value and diverse potential. In view of the above, this work aims to record the types of economic activities and management that are being carried out with the Baru, evaluate the species' socio-productive chains in full and analyze the economic diversity generated and whether these uses are sustainable. A bibliographical survey of the Baru socioproductive chain and its forms of use in traditional communities (quilombolas community and extractivists) was carried out, in addition to interviews with emporiums in Campo Grande. Studies focused on bioeconomy and the potential use of Dipteryx alata are recent compared to other species that have the same potential. This study aims to carry out a bibliographical, ecological and socioeconomic review of D. alata in the Cerrado, with the aim of evaluating the bioeconomic perspective of this species.

Regarding the uses related to the sacred, they manifest most expressively in religions, which incorporate these flora elements into their rituals. Biocultural heritage recognizes that the knowledge transmitted by different social groups about biodiversity is an integral part of their cultural identity while simultaneously contributing to the conservation of ecosystems. This study conducted a survey of plants used in Umbanda terreiros (temples), documenting the ethnobotanical knowledge associated with these species, investigating their magico-ritualistic use, understanding how knowledge about plants is transmitted, and whether this knowledge may be assisting in environmental preservation. The survey registered 98 botanical species, indicating the richness of knowledge surrounding Umbanda practices; the main magico-ritualistic use category was cleansing (descarrego) (47 spp.), evidencing that the most common use of these plants is energetic purification and spiritual balance. Cultivation within the terreiros is the best way to ensure the availability of plants for use in rituals and to promote in situ conservation, making it an efficient means for preservation.

EM BONITO, MATO GROSSO DO SUL Abstract: This research sought to identify the specific linkages within the production chain, the associated management practices, and the socioeconomic constraints that currently impede the sustainable development of guavira (Campomanesia spp.) in Bonito, Mato Grosso do Sul, specifically analyzed within a socio-biodiversity context. The methodology employed a qualitative-descriptive approach, utilizing snowball sampling, participant observation, and the application of semi-structured interviews with 23 key informants, comprising 7 extractivists residing in the Santa Lúcia Settlement and 16 urban retailers. The resulting data demonstrate that the Pé da Serra Women's Productive Group, originating from the Santa Lúcia Settlement, functions as the central, pivotal agent of this chain. This group operates across multiple operational functions and leverages Traditional Ecological Knowledge for the holistic utilization of the fruit, which notably includes the application of the peel and seeds as flavoring agents (spices). Nevertheless, the production chain is currently characterized by persistent limitations. Extractivism itself is intrinsically constrained by the species’ pronounced seasonality—as fruiting is concentrated over only a three-month period—and by the absence of organized management protocols necessary to enable commercial-scale cultivation. From a socioeconomic perspective, the pricing analysis revealed an unequal distribution of aggregated value, evidenced by a substantial disparity between the selling price obtained by the extractivist and the final price observed in the tourist retail sector. We conclude that the long-term viability of the guavira chain is contingent upon the effective mitigation of these identified bottlenecks. This necessitates strategic investment in processing technology (such as pulp freezing) and the promotion of active management practices capable of ensuring supply stability. These findings provide crucial technical subsidies for strengthening the regional bioeconomy and for guaranteeing equitable value distribution, thereby solidifying the Santa Lúcia Settlement as a viable model for alternative development.

A major seasonally flooded area in Brazil, the Pantanal boasts a wealth of species whose pife histories are linked to fluctuations in excess and lack of water. Anoxia during flood periods can induce amphibious plants to maximize gas storage, and during dry periods, structural strategies favor their support and photosynthetic storage. Specialized underground gem systems may be part of the adaptive strategies of those plants that may lose their aerial parts and remain dormant during drought, a period when fiares may occur in wetlands. We believe that the adaptive characteristics of amphibious plants against drought may also protect them against fire, which has intensified in the Pantanal. We comparatively analyzed the adaptive structures of three amphibious species subjected to two equally stressful antagonistic factors: excess and lack of water. We collected at least three individuals of the species Aeschynomene fluminensis, Aeschynomene cf. rudis, and Discolobium pulchellum in burned and unburned areas afér. flooding, and made slides of their stems and roots. Our result. Showed that the species D. pulchellum, A. fluminensis and A. cf. rudis have potentially gem-bearing underground systems, with buds arising in the neck, main root, lateral and plagiotropic regions; plagiotropic underground stems, also gem-bearing, occur in all three species. There vãs little interspecific anatomical variation in stems and roots, with greater variation between species of the two genera studied. The fistulous stem of both Aeschynomene species, combined with adventitious roots, can supply the gas deficit during the flood period. During this period, we observed the formation of secundará aerenchyma and pith in D. pulchellum. Starch in the cortex, axial and radial parenchyma of the xylem, and phloem, and in greater quantities in the parasaval parenchyma of stems and roots, can supply the energy requirements for bud burst and maintenance of water flow in all three species. The pressente of phenolic compounds, perivascular fibers, and water reserves in the xylem and phloem parenchyma constitute the adaptive apparatus against drought, which may also favor fire protetivo in these species. However, the aerial parts of A. fluminensis are more sensitive to fire, libele due to the chemical composition and thinner structure of the stem. The structural and histochemical adaptations to flooding and dry periods obtained for the three amphibious plant species evaluated are also efficient for protection against the deleterious actions of fog.
