In the face of the human impacts caused mainly after Industrial Revolution, such as the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation and intensive soil preparation, there has been an increase in the emission of greenhouse gases (GHG). Among the forms of GHG mitigation, there are those carried out through agriculture, such as the adequate management of the soil and the removal of CO2 by plants through the consortium systems. Studies indicate that a viable alternative is the crop-livestock integration (CLI), which is composed of tree and forage species. Measurement of the atmospheric CO2 concentration ([CO2]) in CLI may indicate responses that will serve as a basis for monitoring this ecosystem in the Amazon region. Measures of the vertical profile of [CO2] were obtained in intensive campaigns during the periods less rainy of 2016, more and less rainy of 2017, in the municipality of Terra Alta, PA. There was greater amplitude in the [CO2] measured in the less rainy period of 2017 and higher daytime concentrations in relation to the other periods. Seasonality is a factor that influences [CO2] in the CLI. The [CO2] only begins to rise and accumulate below the canopy from 20:00 hours, when the atmosphere is more stable.Downloads

Ethical Guidelines for Journal Publication
The Ciência e Natura journal is committed to ensuring ethics in publication and quality of articles.
Conformance to standards of ethical behavior is therefore expected of all parties involved: Authors, Editors, Reviewers, and the Publisher.
In particular,
Authors: Authors should present an objective discussion of the significance of research work as well as sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the experiments. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable. Review Articles should also be objective, comprehensive, and accurate accounts of the state of the art. The Authors should ensure that their work is entirely original works, and if the work and/or words of others have been used, this has been appropriately acknowledged. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Authors should not submit articles describing essentially the same research to more than one journal. The corresponding Author should ensure that there is a full consensus of all Co-authors in approving the final version of the paper and its submission for publication.
Editors: Editors should evaluate manuscripts exclusively on the basis of their academic merit. An Editor must not use unpublished information in the editor's own research without the express written consent of the Author. Editors should take reasonable responsive measures when ethical complaints have been presented concerning a submitted manuscript or published paper.
Reviewers: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should be conducted objectively, and observations should be formulated clearly with supporting arguments, so that Authors can use them for improving the paper. Any selected Reviewer who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the Editor and excuse himself from the review process. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
