Produção de biomassa e CO2 equivalente em sistema agrossilvipastoril: uma aplicação da dinâmica de sistema

Abstract

Agroforestry Systems (SAF) are shown as an alternative to social and economic consequences of human action on the environment. We sought to determine the dynamics of biomass production and the stock of CO2 equivalent in the SAF, in an area of “caatinga” biome in the state of Ceará. The study area comprised the SAF in Crioula farm, belonging to the National Research Center of Embrapa Goats, being situated in the municipality of Sobral - CE. It was used as a tool for developing the model the software Vensim. The simulations were based on the determination of option settings land uses (agricultural crops) and management of “caatinga”. The results showed that the system was able to add income by selling agricultural products and the commercialization of CO2 equivalent if there were a specific market for this producer. The model developed for this research come from SAF was able to contribute to the research already carried out today as well as to the sustainability and viability of this model of production through diversification of activities and products, promoting a more harmonious income generation in time.
