CHARACTERIZATION OF AGROFORESTRY BACKYARDS IN THE PROMISED LAND SETTLEMENT (DUQUE DE CAXIAS - RJ)

Agroforestry Backyards; Promised Land Settlement; Systems Agroforestry; Biogeography; Agrobiodiversity

Prometida Settlement, in Duque de Caxias, aims to recognize the agrobiodiversity present in them in different seasons of the year, in order to understand the different floristic and agrobiodiverse compositions between the backyards in the rainy and dry periods (summer and winter). With the help of rural producers, specialists in plant identification and support from the related bibliography, the species present will be quantified, in order to qualify them according to their use by producers in the light of cultural biogeography. The presence of exotic and invasive species will also be evaluated, as well as their ecological interrelationships, through observations and conversations with the producers, as well as analysis of orthophotos capable of reproducing the local landscape arrangement, identifying the socio-environmental functions performed by the backyards in the settlement and its surroundings.
