Abstract

analysis Abstract This study aimed to determine and analyze landscape ecology metrics to characterize the spatial pattern of fragments of native forest in São Mateus River basin, Espírito Santo State, Southeastern Brazil. Fragments were divided into four size classes called C1 (<5 ha), C2 (5-25 ha), C3 (25.10-50 ha) and C4 (>50 ha). Metrics were grouped according to their nature in (i) area and density, (ii) edge, (iii) shape, (iv) central area and (v) proximity. In total, 4,286 native forest fragments were identified, which represented 7.80% of total area of the basin. There is a predominance of fragments with more regular shapes, small (<25.10 ha) and, consequently, with greater edge effect. Results showed that the drainage basin studied is highly fragmented, which reinforces the need for strategies aimed at forest conservation and restoration of degraded forests in this region.

巴西圣州北部高度破碎盆地森林覆盖分析Espírito

摘要本研究旨在确定并分析巴西东南部圣州(Espírito Santo State) o Mateus河流域原生林破碎片的景观生态指标。碎片分为四个大小类，称为C1(50公顷)。指标根据其性质分为(i)面积和密度，(ii)边缘，(iii)形状，(iv)中心区域和(v)邻近度。共发现原生林残片4286片，占流域总面积的7.80%。碎片的形状较为规则，较小(<25.10 ha)，因此具有较大的边缘效应。研究结果表明，研究的流域高度破碎化，因此需要制定森林保护和恢复退化森林的战略。
