The use of eco-friendly mulch materials as alternatives to the standard polyethylene (PE) has become increasingly prevalent worldwide. Consequently, a comparison of mulch materials from different origins is necessary to evaluate their feasibility. Several researchers have compared the effects of mulch materials on each crop variable through univariate analysis (ANOVA).However, it is important to focus on the effect of these materials on fruit quality, because this factor decisively infl uences the acceptance of the fi nal product by consumers and the industrial sector. This study aimed to analyze the information supplied by a randomized complete block experiment combined over two seasons, a principal component analysis (PCA) and a cluster analysis (CA) when studying the effects of mulch materials on the quality of processing tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.). The study focused on the variability in the quality measurements and on the determination of mulch materials with a similar response to them. A comparison of the results from both types of analysis yielded complementary information. ANOVA showed the similarity of certain materials. However, considering the totality of the variables analyzed, the fi nal interpretation was slightly complicated. PCA indicated that the juice color, the fruit fi rmness and the soluble solid content were the most infl uential factors in the total variability of a set of 12 juice and fruit variables, and CA allowed us to establish four categories of treatment: plastics (polyethylene -PE, oxo-and biodegradable materials), papers, manual weeding and barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) straw. Oxobiodegradable and PE were most closely related based on CA.

artigo revista caititu, Salvador, n. 1, p. 73-88, set. 2013. 73Que problema ambiental é foco deste trabalho? O monitoramento dos resultados de projetos de restauração ecológica demandados pelos órgãos ambientais (e.g., medidas compensatórias; planos de recuperação de áreas degradadas) é central para a avaliação de seu sucesso. Contudo, ele raramente inclui medidas de sustentabilidade do ecossistema em restauração.Qual foi a estratégia do trabalho para contribuir com sua solução? Através de consulta à literatura científica sobre o assunto, produzimos uma matriz de indicadores facilmente utilizável para avaliar a sustentabilidade das populações e dos processos responsáveis por sua manutenção em áreas sob restauração. Qual é a principal conclusão do trabalho?Indicadores dedicados a avaliar parâmetros estruturais da vegetação (e.g., crescimento de árvores) não são capazes de inferir sobre a automanutenção do ecossistema. Desse modo, indicadores da funcionalidade do sistema (e.g., fluxos biológicos; recrutamento de plântulas), de certas mudanças na composição da comunidade (e.g., aparecimento das novas formas de vida e táxons) e de mudanças socioeconômicas.(e.g., aderência pelos proprietários; geração de renda) deveriam ser usados.

The scientific information between microbial activities and chemical properties of reclaimed tidal soil is not enough to apply for reclamation projects. This study was conducted to investigate the relation between chemical properties and microbial activities of reclaimed tidal lands located at western coastal area (25 samples from Nampo, Ewon, Sukmoon and Shihwa sites). Most of the reclaimed soils showed chemical characteristics as salinity soil except Nampo site. The major component influenced the salinity of reclaimed soil was identified as a sodium from the relationship between EC and exchangeable cation. With an increase in EC of soil, the population of mesophilic bacteria decreases whereas halotolerant and halophilic bacteria increases. The population of mesophilic bacteria increased with an increase in both organic matter and dehydrogenase activity. However, the population of halotolerant and halophilic bacteria decreased with an increase in organic matter. Based on the relation between chemical property and microbial activity of reclaimed tidal soil, electrical conductivity and organic matter as chemical properties of soil, population of mesophilic bacteria, halotolerant and halophilic bacteria and dehydrogenase activity as microbial activities could be the major parameters for reclamation process.
