Selecting Native Species for Soil and Water Bioengineering Techniques: Alternative to Restore Areas in Brumadinho, MG, Brazil

Soil and water bioengineering (SWBE) is a feasible, economical ecologically friendly alternative to restore the riparian forest areas affected by Brumadinho mining tailings dam rupture. We evaluated vegetative propagation capacity cuttings initial development of nine native species Paraobepa River for use in SWBE techniques. From results it possible separate into two distinct groups, namely those that can resprout produce roots from their (group 1: Acnistus arborescens (L.) Schltdl., Croton urucurana Baill., Gymnanthes schottiana Müll.Arg., Indigofera suffruticosa Mill. Sesbania virgata (Cav.) Poir.) are suitable as live techniques; which were only able shoots 2: Casearia decandra Jacq., Chrysophyllum marginatum (Hook. & Arn.) Radlk., Inga vera Willd. Schinus terebinthifolia Raddi) should be used seedling form increase diversity interventions.
