Abstract

ABSTRACT The adoption of mixed plantation systems (exotic and native species) is viable and represents an important alternative in the context of forest and landscape restoration. This study evaluated whether Eucalyptus cultivation is associated with changes in native forest cover and fragment connectivity in the region from 1987 to 2017. The study region (Southeast Atlantic Forest) has been undergoing a forest transition process. Based on land use/land cover maps obtained from satellite images and a pair-wise comparison, it was detected that the dynamics in one land cover were not necessarily associated with the other one. It was verified an increase in Eucalyptus cover since 2007, possibly related to the New Forest Code that allows the use of exotic species in reforestation, provided it does not exceed 50% of the total area. An increase in the native vegetation cover was also observed, highlighting the importance of restoration actions and national regulations. In addition, forest patches were larger and less complex with Eucalyptus presence, indicating that this land cover is potentially beneficial for the landscape connectivity.

摘要桉树人工林对东南大西洋森林斑块的大小和形状有一定的影响

采用混合人工林系统(外来和本地物种)是可行的，是森林和景观恢复的重要选择。本研究评估了桉树种植是否与1987年至2017年该地区原始森林覆盖和碎片连通性的变化有关。研究区(东南大西洋森林)正经历着森林转型过程。根据从卫星图像获得的土地利用/土地覆盖图和成对比较，发现一种土地覆盖的动态不一定与另一种土地覆盖相关。经证实，自2007年以来，桉树覆盖面积有所增加，这可能与新森林法规有关，该法规允许在重新造林中使用外来物种，前提是其不超过总面积的50%。还观察到原生植被覆盖的增加，突出了恢复行动和国家条例的重要性。此外，由于桉树的存在，森林斑块面积更大，复杂性更低，表明这种土地覆盖对景观连通性有潜在的好处。
