Acesso em:.https://bdm.ufpa.br/jspui/handle/prefix/7087During the second half of the 18th century, colonial administrators, men of science and religious missionaries took part in the Boundary Demarcation Commission, which was established by the signing of the Treaty of Madrid in 1750. In addition, these demarcating agents drew up descriptions of the elements of nature, enabling the development of scientific knowledge about colonial Amazon. In this context, the German priest Anselm Eckart (1721-1809) not only took part in the religious work in the missionary villages in the state of Grão-Pará and Maranhão between 1753 and 1757, but also recorded his impressions of the fauna, flora, climate, hydrography and landscape of the Amazon region in his travel reports. Therefore, this research analyzes, from the perspective of Environmental History, the representations of Amazon plants, specifically cotton, cocoa, cloves, manioc and tobacco, in the “Aditamentos à descrição das terras do Brasil” (1785), by Father Eckart. As a result, we can see that these Amazon plants had, in addition to the economic dimension attributed to them throughout the colonization process, other dimensions that were important in different aspects of Amazon and transatlantic life, which demonstrates the historical protagonism of the flora of the Amazon Valley.Acesso AbertoAmazônia ColonialAnselm EckartFlora amazônicaHistória ambientalRelatos de viagemColonial amazonAmazon floraEnvironmental historyTravel reportsCNPQ::CIENCIAS HUMANAS::HISTORIATrabalho de Curso - Graduação - Monografia
