AVALIAÇÃO DA FERTILIDADE DO SOLO E DE HABITATS AQUÁTICOS NA AGROVILA DE MACAPAZINHO, CASTANHAL, PA.

In Pará, family agriculture brings jobs and income to the countryside, that's why there are several agrovillages in the state, such as Macapazinho located in the municipality of Castanhal, where the use of agricultural and water resources is routine for several families. The objective of this research was to evaluate results of fertility analysis in samples collected from agricultural areas of small farmers of the agrovillage and to verify anthropic changes in aquatic habitats on the banks of the Apeú river, a river that cuts through the agrovillage and serves as a resource for its inhabitants. The results showed low fertility indices in all analyzed areas and the inefficient use of cultivated areas. Alterations in the natural habitats were observed in all five secsions of the Apeú River analyzed, especially the secsion in the center of the agrovillage of Macapazinho, which proved to be the most affected by anthropic activities.
