Selection of species for implantation in low-carbon technology in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest.
The Atlantic Forest has a history of agricultural occupation and expansion that changed the original ecosystem, increase loss of native vegetation and degraded areas. By adopting low-carbon technologies, producers can promote food security and contribute to mitigate climate change. This type of technology is practicable through projects such as Sustainable Rural. The success of this type of project is related to the appropriate choice of species for different environmental conditions. Thus, the objective of this work was to identify, from trained specialists and rural producers, the main species for implantation of different low-carbon technologies in the Atlantic Forest, being: Agroforestry Systems (AFS), Recovery of Degraded Area with Pasture (RDAP), Recovery of Degraded Area with Forest (RDAF), Forest Planting (FP) and Management of Native Forest (MNF). 2,020 properties were supported with the technologies, and 376 species of interest were identified. The RDAF and MNF had the greatest diversity of species group. AFS and RDAP concentrated on one main species, Theobroma cacao and Avena spp. respectively. Thus, it is found a listing of species with potential for projects with different low-carbon technologies in the Atlantic Forest, which are adapted to the local market and with economic and environmental benefits.
