<p>O presente estudo tem como objetivo aferir, para o período entre 2008 e 2019, o regime de queima no Parque Nacional da Chapada dos Veadeiros (PNCV), Unidade de Conservação (UC) localizada no estado de Goiás que teve sua área ampliada neste período. A partir de imagens dos satélites Landsat e CBERS, cicatrizes de incêndio foram identificadas, vetorizadas e analisadas quanto à localização, ao tamanho e à frequência. A área atual do PNCV queimou cerca de 542.113 hectares, i.e., mais de 225% da área da UC. Aproximadamente 76% das cicatrizes foram registradas na área ampliada do Parque, a qual teve a maior participação de incêndios em 10 dos 11 anos analisados. Foi possível discriminar dois regimes de queima: um que abrange o limite antigo do Parque, caracterizado por baixa ocorrência de queimada, com presença de feições que se assemelham a aceiros e baixa frequência de incêndios; e outro na área ampliada, com histórico de queima anual com valores mais próximos à média, ausência de cicatrizes lineares e frequência máxima de 10 ocorrências. A unificação destes panoramas em um só território exigirá esforços para homogenização dos regimes e poderá, associada a outras ações, diminuir a imprevisibilidade dos incêndios, e respectivos impactos, legitimando o papel que as UCs possuem para a conservação e a preservação da natureza.</p><p>Abstract</p><p>OCCURRENCE OF FIRE IN THE CHAPADA DOS VEADEIROS NATIONAL PARK, GOIÁS, BRAZIL: RECENT HISTORY IN THE CONTEXT OF ITS EXPANSION</p><p>The present study aims to assess, for the period between 2008 and 2019, the burning regime in the Chapada dos Veadeiros National Park (CVNP), Conservation Unit (CU) located in the state of Goiás that had its area expanded in this period. From images of Landsat and CBERS, fire scars were identified, vectorized, and analyzed for their location, size, and frequency. The current area of the CVNP burned about 542,113 hectares, i.e., more than 225% of the area of the CU. Approximately 76% of the scars were recorded in the expanded area of the Park, which had the highest participation of fires in 10 of the 11 years analyzed. It was possible to discriminate two burning regimes: one that covers the old limit of the Park, characterized by the low occurrence of fire, with the presence of features that resemble firebreaks and low frequency of fires; And another in the enlarged area, with a history of annual burning with values closer to the average, absence of linear scars and a maximum frequency of 10 occurrences. The unification of these panoramas in a single territory will require efforts to homogenize the regimes and may, associated with other actions, reduce the unpredictability of fires, and their impacts, legitimizing the role that CU have in the conservation and preservation of nature.</p>
The Indigenous Land (TI) Pimentel Barbosa, of the Xavante ethnic group, is located in the region with the highest annual burning activity in the world, denoting the need for timely and accurate monitoring of the space-time patterns of fire occurrence. In this sense, the present study aimed to characterize the occurrences of burning in that TI, between the years 1984 to 2018, relating them to the different types of vegetation and land use present in it. Burn scars were identified and mapped, based on images from the Landsat program, and were analyzed for their spatial distribution and recurrence, including the aspect of plant typology and land use. In 34 years, TI burned an area of more than 1,500%, with the record of burning more than half of the area in several years, with no spatial pattern that expresses the practices traditionally used. Savanna vegetable types and agricultural use accounted for more than 90% of the affected area. In all types and use, recurrence classified as medium or high, from 9 to 34 recurrences (i.e., some TI areas were burned every year) predominated. 20 times was the most common recurrence, being at odds with what is recommended in the literature. The change in the territorial structure and the integration with the Brazilian culture pattern are indicated as elementary responsible for the establishment of the identified burning scenario, making some actions necessary, such as, for example, the traditional rescue of fire management, so that the fires can be used as a sustainable tool.
