From May to November 2003, at five selected sites of the 'Siebengebirge', a nature reserve near Bonn, Germany, data on microclimate, pedology, plant sociology and tick abundance were collected weekly and correlated. A total of 2832 host-seeking Ixodes ricinus (2660 nymphs and 172 adults) were collected, with maximal abundance in June and a minor second increase in abundance in August. The spati...

Groundwater flow in sedimentary rock saprolite, and in soils derived from this material, is strongly influenced by sedimentary layering and fractures inherited from the parent bedrock. The main objectives of this study were to determine whether parent bedrock lithology and infilling of fractures and other macropores with pedogenically derived clays and Fe/Mn oxides also play major roles in cont...

The use of geotechnologies to map the levels environmental fragility in a municipality is an important planning strategy, especially when it intended make conscious area's natural resources through its zoning. Therefore, objective this research was carry out, implementation geotechnologies, study occupied, intensively, by mining activities and agriculture. As case study, Paracatu - Minas Gerais...
