RESUMO DA PARTICIPAÇÃO:
06th WCCA & 10th ISSE
Foi uma grande oportunidade poder participar dos eventos 6th WCCA e ISEE9.
O evento WCCA reuniu pesquisadores, estudantes e agricultores de países do mundo todo, sendo
abordados os mais diversos temas relacionados à agricultura conservacionista.
Já o evento ISEE reuniu profissionais que trabalham com ecologia, biologia e taxonomia de
minhocas de todo o mundo.
Dois eventos com temáticas bastante distintas, mas que tornam uma carente em relação à outra.
No WCCA foi possível através de nossos trabalhos desenvolvidos no sul do Brasil mostrar um
pouco sobre os efeitos do SPD sobre a riqueza de espécies de minhocas e qual a importância
destes organismos para o sistema.
No ISEE foi possível apresentar resultados que fogem ao que se tem relatado na literatura em
biologia do solo, onde em geral as áreas agrícolas, devido à diversos fatores, são responsáveis
pela redução da biodiversidade do solo. Nossos trabalhos no sul do Brasil têm relatado maior
riqueza de espécies de minhocas quando comprado a áreas menos antropizadas, além da
presença de espécies nativas e novas espécies nas áreas sob SPD e ILP.
RELATÓRIO DA PARTICIPAÇÃO NOS EVENTOS:
EVENTO I
1. INTRODUÇÃO:
O 1th World Congresso on Conservation Agriculture foi realizado em Madrid em 2001, sob a
organização da FAO com intuito de iniciar a divulgação e discussão de práticas
conservacionistas na agricultura mundial, sendo que no final deste evento a FAO declarou a
forma de manejo do solo realizado no Brasil baseado do sistema plantio direto, servisse de
modelo para ser seguido pelo mundo todo.
Em 2003, o Brasil foi sede da segunda edição do evento, sendo este realizado em Foz do Iguaçu
sob a organização da FEBRAPDP.
Em 2005 o 3th WCCA aconteceu em Nairóbi, no Quênia, e em 2009 em Nova Deli, na Índia.
Em 2011, a Austrália sediou o 5th WCCA em Brisbane.
E Manitoba, no Canadá, foi o local escolhido para que a sexta edição do WCCA acontecesse,
acolhendo cientistas, profissionais e agricultores em para discutir a evolução atual e o futuro da
agricultura sustentável no mundo.
O evento ofereceu uma ótima oportunidade para explorar as práticas de agricultura
conservacionista e aplicar os princípios em um contexto de sistema. O objetivo comum é a
discussão de sistemas de produção agrícola sustentáveis, economicamente viáveis e mais
produtivas, para atender os desafios dos cenários: população mundial em expansão, mudanças
globais e degradação ambiental.
O Sistema Plantio Direto é o principal elemento da agricultura conservacionista proposta pela
FAO e o Brasil é considerado o país referência e vem se destacando como um dos líderes
mundiais na adoção e desenvolvimento deste sistema. No entanto a qualidade da execução pelos
agricultores tem demonstrado fraquezas e imperfeições que carecem de estudos e melhorias,
principalmente no que tange à cobertura do solo, rotação de culturas, ao manejo da fertilidade e
melhor aproveitamento da reciclagem de nutrientes. O Congresso Mundial é sempre um fórum
de intercâmbio e de estímulo à solução e nossos problemas e de visar oportunidades até então
não exploradas.
Estavam presentes 5 brasileiros no 6th WCCA: a responsável por esta proposta (Marie Bartz –
UP & FEBRAPDP), Rafael Fuentes Llanillo (FEBRAPDP & IAPAR), Denizart Bolonhezi
(APTA Regional), Deivison Santos (EMBRAPA) e Alexandre D’Andrea (IFPE). Houve a
apresentação de uma proposta para trazer a próxima edição do WCCA para a América do Sul,
sendo encabeçada pela CAAPAS, com as associações de plantio direto dos países Argentina,
Brasil, Uruguai e Paraguai com os principais organizadores, sendo a Argentina através da
AAPRESID em Rosário a cidade e instituição anfitriã. A presidente (Maria Beatriz Giraudo,
Pilu) não conseguir chegar ao evento por devido alguns imprevistos burocráticos e os
representantes da FEBRAPDP (Rafael Fuentes e Marie Bartz) fizeram a apresentação da
candidatura. Outro país que fez a apresentação de uma proposta foi a França. No entanto, a
proposta sul americana foi a escolhida e o 7th World Congress on Conservation Agriculture será
realizado em Rosário na Argentina.

The no-tillage system (NT) is currently considered the best way of soil management to
minimize the impacts of agricultural practices, assuming three principles: minimal soil
disturbance, permanent soil cover and crop rotation. Brazil currently has over 30 million
hectares of grain production using no-tillage, making up more than 80 % of the planted
area (corn, soy and beans). Among the many benefits that NT brings to environment is
increasing of soil biodiversity (microbiology, microfauna, mesofauna and macrofauna ) .
This study aimed to assess the species richness of earthworms in sites under no-tillage
(NT), integration crop-livestock with no-tillage (ICL) and fragments of native forest (NF)
used as a reference. Were sampled 75 sites, 25 for each land use system. The sampling
methods were quantitative (standard and adapted TSBF – Tropical Soil Biology and
Fertility Method) and also qualitative (random digging) to obtain a higher number of
individuals and consequent higher earthworms species richness. Were identified a total of
45 species of earthworms. The fragments of native forest had the lowest richness (22
species), while the agricultural sites (NT and ICL) showed similar species richness (30
species). Were also identified many specimens belonging to four families:
Glossoscolecidae, Megascolecidae, Ocnerodrilidae and Acanthodrilidae because they
were juveniles, which made impossible the identification to species level. There were six
species as new record for the State of Santa Catarina in this study, but already described
species: Andiorrhinus duseni, Amythas corticis, Amynthas morrisi, Octolasion tyrtaeum,
Bimastus parvus and Dichogaster gracilis. The first one is a native species and the others
are exotic (introduced). Of the 45 identified species, 67% are native and 31% are exotic
species. Only one species has an unknown origin which has not yet been possible to
identify it properly (NI sp.1). Considering the sampled sites the percentage of native/exotic
was: 86/14, 57/43 and 53/47 respectively in the NF, ICL and NT site. The results show
that, despite the lower species richness in the NF sites, these areas are still conserving
native populations. While the higher richness in the agricultural sites (ICL and NT = 30) is
given by the presence of exotic earthworms. Even so, the agricultural sites shown to be
adequate to maintain native species because they are present in these sites. However, it
is also necessary to analyze the quantitative data to know what are the abundances of
each specie in the sampled sites. It is possible that there is a predominance of one or a
few species (exotic and/or native) these native and anthropic environments. It is
noteworthy the fact that almost all species of the genera Glossoscolex and Fimoscolex are
new species and need to be described and named (≅ 24 species).
EVENTO II
1. INTRODUÇÃO:
O Simpósio Internacional de Ecologia de Minhocas acontece a cada 4 anos possui abrangência
mundial, explorando e discutindo as diversas linhas de pesquisas relacionadas à minhocas
(biodiversidade de minhocas e DAN Barcoding; imunologia e fisiologia das minhocas; minhocas
como indicadoras de mudanças em escala local, regional e mundial; interações das minhocas;
minhocas e a fertilidade do solo; minhocas, contaminação do solo e bioremediação;
vermicompostagem e manejo de resíduos).
As minhocas (Filo Annelida, Classe Oligochaeta) são um grupo de organismos que tem um papel
fundamental no sub-ecossitema solo. Conhecer o seu papel na dinâmica do solo é de suma
importância para o seu uso sustentável, sua restauração e remediação.
Darwin 1881 expressa em seu livro “The formation of the vegetable mould through the action of
earthworms with observation on their habitats” a importância destes animais. Aristóteles também
considerou as minhocas os “intestinos da terra”.
Estando fortemente envolvidas nos diversos serviços ambientais como a regulação dos ciclos
biogeoquímicos, ciclagem de nutrientes, o seqüestro de carbono, controle de pragas, estrutura do
solo, qualidade e conservação de água, biorremediação de resíduos e poluentes. Isto levou a
desenvolver a biotecnologias como a vermicompostagem e a fertilização biológica.
Sendo utilizadas como bioindicadores de perturbação ou toxicidade devido à sua alta sensibilidade a
mudanças e capacitação de substâncias.
Embora as minhocas não sejam um grupo muito diversificado, ainda há muitas espécies não
identificadas e muito a se conhecer sobre sua caracterização molecular e sua ecologia. Suas
interações com outros organismos do solo são importantes tanto em termos ecológicos e como para
a biotecnologia.
No ISEE estavam presentes os brasileiros Marie Bartz e George Brown apenas.

This study aimed to evaluate the earthworm species richness in land-use systems (LUS) in four
regions in the state of Santa Catarina (SC), Brazil. The samplings were carried out in the West,
Plateau, East and South regions of the SC state. In each region were selected three counties and in
each county were sampled five LUS: native forest (NF), Eucalyptus plantation (EP), pasture (PA),
integrated crop-livestock (ICL) and no-tillage (NT). The sampling was qualitative and consisted in
the digging of at least 20 randomly selected holes in each site. The earthworms were fixed in
alcohol 92.8% and later identified in family, genus and species level. In total 34 species were found,
20 native (Urobenus brasiliensis, Glossoscolex sp.1, Glossoscolex sp.2, Glossoscolex sp.3,
Glossoscolex sp.4, Glossoscolex sp.5, Glossoscolex sp.6, Glossoscolex sp.7, Glossoscolex sp.8,

Andiorrhinus duseni, Ocnerodrilidae sp.1, Ocnerodrilidae
sp.2, Ocnerodrilidae
sp.3,
Ocnerodrilidae sp.4, Ocnerodrilidae sp.5) and 14 exotic (Pontoscolex corethrurus, Amynthas
gracilis, Amynthas corticis, Amynthas morrisi, Metaphire californica, Metaphire sp1,
Megascolecidae sp.2, Octolasion tyrtaeum, Bimastos parvus, Microscolex sp.1, Dichogaster
gracilis, Dichogaster bolaui, Dichogaster saliens, NI sp.1 (not identified specie)). The regions with
higher species richness were Plateau, South and West, respectively with 19, 15 and 12 spp. in the
East region seven species were identified in the LUS. There was a considerable difference in the
percentage of native and exotic species in the West and Plateau regions compared with the East and
South regions. The West and Plateau regions had predominance of native species, 58% and 74%
respectively, while East and South regions had predominance of exotic species, 86% and 73%
respectively. The LUS NF, EP and NT of the West region and EP and PA of the Plateau region had
100% of native species. The native genera Glossoscolex and Fimoscolex were predominant in the
West and Plateau regions. In the other hand, in the South and East regions were an expressive
predominance of the specie Pontoscolex corethrurus (more than 60% of the earthworm population),
followed by species of the genus Amynthas.

Aiming to expand the limited knowledge about earthworms in horticulture site and their use as
indicators of soil quality, this work proposes to evaluate the earthworm richness in four sites:
natural forest fragment – FN, organic vegetable crop – OL (potato), conventional vegetable crop –
OC (zucchini) and conventional tillage – LC (corn), in the municipality of Quitandinha southeastern
Paraná. The samples were taken in two replicates of each site in January 2014. The earthworm
sampling was qualitative and consisted in the digging of 10 randomly selected holes in each site.
The earthworms were fixed in alcohol 92.8% and later identified in family, genus and species level.
In total, four species of earthworm were identified in the 8 sites: Glossoscolex sp.1, Glossoscolex
sp.2, Glossoscolex sp.3 and Amynthas gracilis, and several juveniles individuals of Megascolecidae
and one Glossocolecidae. The OC and LC sites had only the presence of the exotic species A.
gracilis (100%), while the OL sites had 50% and FN 67%of native earthworm species. The results
suggest enhancement of exotic species and absence of native species in the sites with higher input
of chemical and anthropic impact. Future samplings are necessary to quantify those earthworm
populations in the sites and to better understand the species dynamics.

This study aimed to analyze the earthworm species richness along a topographic gradient in an area
of ecotone in Capão Alto, Santa Catarina, Brazil. Were sampled 35 plots of 200 m² each, divided
into three distinct sectors, defined from the topographic variations. The first sector (lower) stood on
the border of the river, consists of 15 plots (646 m altitude). The second sector (intermediate) was
located in an area of higher topographic gradient consisting of 10 plots (711 m). The third sector
(top) was allocated on a topographic gradient steeper still, in number of 10 plots (732 m).
Earthworms were sampled qualitatively, consisting in the digging of randomly selected holes in
each plot. The earthworms were fixed in alcohol 92.8% and later identified in family, genus and
species level. A total of 133 individuals were found belonging to seven species in four earthworm’s
families. The lower sector showed the higher earthworm richness (seven species, one exotic and six
native) and an average of six earthworms per plot. In the intermediate and top sectors were found
four species (all native) and an average of one and two earthworm per plot, respectively. The most
common specie was Urobenus brasiliensis in the three sectors. The only exotic specie was found in
the lower sectors (two juveniles individuals of Megascolecidae). Three Glossoscolex species were
identified and were more abundant in the lower sector and less in direction to the top sector. There
is also a vegetation differentiation in the sectors and future correlations with the earthworm
population are needed to better understand these population distribution.

This study aimed to assess the earthworm population in public parks of Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil. Six
parks were chosen for samplings: Barigui Park, Tingui Park, Barreirinha Park, Passaúna Park and
The Botanical Garden. In each park were sampled five points in forest and also grass sites totalizing
60 sampling points, using the adapted Tropical Soil Biology and Fertility Method (20 x 20 x 20 cm
depth monoliths) in summer season. The earthworms were fixed in alcohol 92.8% and later
identified in family, genus and species level. A total of 171 individuals were identified, belonging
to the families: Rhinodrilidae (Pontoscolex corethrurus), Glossoscolecidae (Glossoscolex sp.1,
Fimoscolex sp.1, Fimoscolex sp.2 and juveniles), Ocnerodrilidae (Ocnerodrilidae sp.1),
Lumbricidae (Lumbricidae sp.1) and Megascolecidae (Amynthas gracilis, Amynthas corticis,
Metaphire californica and juveniles) and not identified juveniles. Considering all parks, the highest
earthworm species richness was found in the grass sites (eitght sp.) and only three sp. in the forest
sites. The species Pontoscolex corethrurus, Megascolecidae juveniles and not identified juveniles
were found in both sites. Glossoscolex sp.1 was exclusively found in a forest site and the remaining
six species in the grass sites. Both sites had predominance of exotic species (63% in grass and 67%
in forest). The earthworm abundance was significantly higher in the grass sites (148 ind m -2)
compared to the forest sites (23 ind m-2). The results confirm the presence of exotic species near
human’s agglomerations. However some native species (new species) also survive yet despite the
antrophic impact and pressure of exotic species. Future sampling in winter season will performed to
better understand this earthworm population dynamics.

This study aimed to assess the earthworm species richness in sites under no-tillage (NT), and
fragments of native forest (NF) and reforestation (RF) used as a reference, in the Paraguay. Were
sampled 30 sites (26 NT, 3 NF and 1 RF). The earthworm sampling was qualitative and consisted in
the digging of 5 randomly selected holes in each site. The earthworms were fixed in alcohol 92.8%
and later identified in family, genus and species level. A total of 136 individuals were identified,
belonging to the families: Rhinodrilidae (Urobenus brasiliensis), Glossoscolecidae (Glossoscolex
sp.1, Glossoscolex sp.2, Glossoscolex sp.3, Glossoscolex sp.4, Glossoscolex sp.5, Fimoscolex sp.1
and juveniles), Ocnerodrilidae (Ocnerodrilidae sp.1, Ocnerodrilidae sp.2), Acanthodrilidae
(Dichogaster gracilis, Dichogaster bolaui and juveniles) and Megascolecidae (Metaphire
californica and juveniles) and not identified juveniles. The FN and RF sites had 100% of native
species. From the 26 NT sites sampled, 10 had no worms and two had only nor identified juveniles.
In the remaining 14, in overall 67% of the earthworm species were native. Considering each site:
seven had 100% native species, three had 50% native species and four 100% exotic species. The
whole Paraguay country have until this work 37 species (28 native and 9 exotic) of earthworms
registered, two of them (U. brasiliensis and D. bolaui) were also found in this work and the other
are all new records. Almost all the encountered species of the native genera Glossoscolex and
Fimoscolex are new species and need to be described and named (≅ 6 species).

4. CONCLUSÕES:
Ambos os eventos foram satisfatórios quanto ao objetivo apresentado na carta proposta
(atualização, aperfeiçoamento profissional e divulgação de resultados de pesquisa), sendo ainda
muito proveitos para contatos profissionais e trocas de experiência, compartilhando outras
realidades.
Apesar de ser um tanto quanto cansativo participar de dois grandes eventos como estes, o
interessante foi poder ter tido a oportunidade de no WCCA falar um pouco de nossas
experiências com a biologia do solo em SPD no Brasil, e no ISSE poder falar sobre os efeitos do
SPD e outros sistemas de uso do solo sobre as comunidades de minhocas, permitindo que uma
lacuna de pouca informação/conhecimento em cada um dos eventos aos poucos seja minimizada.
