Sugar cane and cacau fruit- Sao Francisco do Para
I spent three days learning about rain forest ecology and sustainable agriculture in the Bragantina are of Brazil- 98% deforested. Really interesting, really fun. Got bitten in all sorts of unmentionable places.
We split up in to three groups to study different forest issues. My group was assigned a project on gap dynamics. We planned and executed an experiment in one. Our hypothesis was that if there was more leaf litter on the ground of the gap, then a larger population of plants would arise, independent of light variables. We found no correlation. Science!
Today I am taking an 11:30 pm flight to Manaus. One week in Manaus, about two on a boat. It´s all happening.
I am happy and well. I will be out of contact for the majority of this Manaus trip. I have hundreds of pictures that I´ll try to put up soon. Check out my other blog for more detailed info and pictures: www.reachtheworld.org/journey/journeytobrazil
Hawt.
