Avaliação de impactos ambientais nos países do Mercosul

This work compares and discusses the legislations of the countries members of Mercosul in relation to their systematic implementation of the Evaluation of Environmental Impacts. The processes of environmental licensing adopted by Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay are very similar; however Argentina does not have a complete legislation of national reach. The Paraguayan legislation stands out for establishing the notification to the Ministry of the External Relations in cases of environmental damages beyond the countrys borders. Among all legislations, the Brazilian, in spite of being the pioneer, is the most complete and modern.

Colheita e transporte florestal em propriedades rurais fomentadas no estado do Espírito Santo

This research was developed with information obtained from 71 fomented farm owners of the Espirito Santo State, Brazil, who were responsible for 92 forest contracts, distributed in five areas of the State, according to the deposit of the fomenter company for wood delivery. The objective was to identify the methods and equipment used in the forest crop and wood transportation in these farms. The area fomented per contract had 1.5 to 100,0 hectares, 84,8% with up to 30 hectares and 59,8% with mountain relief. Forest crop and the wood transportation were outsourced in 68,5% and 78,2% of the contracts respectively and were carried out by the farm owners in the remaining contracts. It was verified that the methods and equipment used in the forest crop were not the same in the areas of the five deposits of wood delivery, being also verified differences among the subsystems used by the outsourced contractors and the farm owners.

Relationship risk-return of native species sawn wood in the state of Pará, Brazil 2003-2007

ABSTRACT: This study characterized the risk-return relationship of sawn wood of different native forest species of the Amazonianarea. Specifically, it was determined the risk-return relationship of Ipe, Jatoba, Macaranduba, Angelim Pedra, Angelim Vermelho andCumaru boards, in 2003-2007 period. The Geometric Growth Rate of prices of the m 3 of boards of each species was admitted asreturn estimative and the variation coefficient as indicative of risk; the estimated values were plotted in dispersion graphics allowinggraphic analysis. It was noticed that their prices float, relatively, in the same way and that Jatoba stands out in attractiveness terms,considering the whole period while the other species presented a coherent relationship among themselves i.e., higher returnsassociated with high risks. Angelim Vermelho and Macaranduba stood out for the attractiveness, in an annual perspective.Key words: Forest economy, native tree species, attractiveness.

Brazilian sawn wood price and income elasticity

This study estimated the sawn wood demand price and income elasticity. Specifically it was estimated the price elasticity of sawn wood, the cross price elasticity of wood panels and the income elasticity of Brazilian GDP. A log-log model with correction through outline of the mobile average (MA(1)) was used, adjusted for the period of 1971 to 2006, which showed to be stable, with satisfactory significance levels. It was observed that sawn wood demand is inelastic in relation to price and elastic in relation to income.
