The natural occurrence of the fungus Beauveria bassiana is an indicator of environmental balance. When the agroforestry system naturally presents this entomopathogenic fungus on the banana weevil Cosmopolites sordidus, a pest insect in the banana crops, it reinforces the beneficial effects of this agroecosystem. Thus, this work reports the first natural occurrence of B. bassiana on C. sordidus for the agroforestry system and the Cerrado biome. The natural occurrence of this parasitic relationship indicates that the agroforestry system may favor the fungal occurrence and spread.

The Cerrado Biome has been increasingly affected by the advance of agribusiness, and conservation units have served as alternatives for the preservation of species. The objective of this work was to characterize the structuring of the Cerrado vegetation by comparing inside and outside the conservation unit of the Silvânia National Forest. 50 plots were demarcated, 15 (50 m x 20 m = 1000 m²) of which were inside and 35 1 (0 m x 10 m = 100 m²) outside the conservation unit. Litter biomass and soil fertility were quantified. In this study was found a richness of 172 species, 51 families and 118 genera. In Cerrado inside (CSR_IN) abundance is 0.137 ind.ha-1 and Cerrado outside (CSR_OUT) 0.214 ind.ha-1. The CSR_IN richness is 0.033 ind.ha-1 and CSR_OUT 0.115 ind.ha-1. Already the abundance and richness of Seasonal Forest areas inside and outside the conservation unit were similar. Cerrado areas showed the most acidy soil and smaller fertility and litter, not differing in relation to the conservation unit. Currently, the Silvânia NF is almost an isolated fragment, even presenting aspects of richness and abundance of trees of the same size or even smaller than areas outside the unit itself.Keywords: brazilian savanna, forest structure, native species, soil, species richness Efeito de uma área protegida na estrutura arbórea do Cerrado R E S U M OO Bioma Cerrado tem sido cada vez mais afetado pelo avanço do agronegócio, e as unidades de conservação (UC) têm servido como alternativas para a preservação das espécies. O objetivo deste trabalho foi caracterizar a estrutura da vegetação do Cerrado comparando áreas dentro e fora da UC Floresta Nacional da Silvânia. Foram demarcadas 50 parcelas, sendo 15 (50 m x 20 m = 1000 m²) dentro e 351 (0 m x 10 m = 100 m²) fora da unidade de conservação. A biomassa da serapilheira e a fertilidade do solo também foram quantificadas. Neste estudo foi encontrada uma riqueza de 172 espécies, 51 famílias e 118 gêneros. No Cerrado interno (CSR_IN) a abundância é de 0,137 ind.ha-1 e no Cerrado externo (CSR_OUT) 0,214 ind.ha-1. A riqueza de CSR_IN é 0,033 ind.ha-1 e CSR_OUT 0,115 ind.ha-1. Já a abundância e riqueza de áreas de Floresta Estacional dentro e fora da unidade de conservação foram semelhantes. As áreas de cerrado apresentaram os solos mais ácidos e com menor fertilidade e serapilheira, não diferindo em relação à unidade de conservação. Atualmente, a Floresta Nacional de Silvânia é quase um fragmento isolado, mesmo apresentando aspectos de riqueza e abundância de árvores do mesmo porte ou até menores do que áreas externas à própria unidade.Palavras-chave: savana brasileira, estrutura florestal, espécies nativas, solo, riqueza de espécies

Agricultural use and management systems in tropical soils of the Brazilian Cerrado may directly influence its chemical properties, in the conventional cultivation systems with pastures or grains, as well as in areas with a crop-livestock-forest integration system. Thus, the objective was to evaluate the chemical attributes of the soil under different use and management systems. The research was carried out at Boa Vereda Farm, in the state of Goiás, Brazil. The experimental design was completely randomized with a 5 x 3 factorial arrangement divided into five production systems: (1) among the rows of Eucalyptus (CLFI), (2) within the rows of Eucalyptus (CLFI), (3) in conventional agricultural monoculture, (4) pasture, and (5) – natural Cerrado (control treatment). Samples were collected in three soil depths (0-0.5; 0.5-0.1 and 0.1-0.2 m), with four replicates each. Among the chemical properties of the soil studied, the organic matter, calcium, magnesium and potassium contents, base saturation, and cation exchange capacity, are higher in the soil with natural Cerrado. The area of agricultural monoculture showed the highest levels of phosphorus and copper, but has the lower levels of organic matter in the soil. The chemical properties of the soil were similar in the CLFI system, regardless of the evaluation point (within or among rows). The chemical properties of the soil evaluated were similar between the pasture cultivated in CLFI and the conventional system. Therefore, the land use and management system do not directly influence the chemical properties of the soils evaluated.
