Conservação dos recursos hídricos em brejos de altitude: o caso de Brejo dos Cavalos, Caruaru, PE

Abstract: Brejos de altitude são formações vegetais disjuntas da Mata Atlântica, que ocorrem no Agreste de Pernambuco e Paraíba, como ilhas de umidade no ambiente semi-árido da Caatinga. O Parque Vasconcelos Sobrinho, situado na Serra dos Cavalos, em Caruaru, PE, é um exemplo do pouco que resta desses brejos na região. Com 359 ha, abriga uma floresta exuberante e diversos corpos d'água, porém vem sofrendo intenso processo de degradação, em decorrência da agricultura irrigada em seu interior e da exploração de argila no … Show more

“…The area comprises three major reservoirs used for human consumption (Braga et al 2002, Cabral et al 2004). The locality chosen for the butterfly inventory is a well-preserved forest fragment with an altitude of approximately 840 m, and it is located between the two largest dams of the park (8° 21' 45.36" S, 36° 02' 11.31" W).…”

“…The loss of forest areas also impairs other biologically and socially relevant aspects such as soil quality, the availability and quality of water, and even the use of inappropriate areas for agriculture and/or areas otherwise protected by law (e.g. Braga et al 2002; Young & Lustosa 2003). These concerns have prompted several researchers to seek strategies to restore the original landscape and to maintain a minimal level of ecological processes to assure the continued functioning of the fragmented landscape (e.g.…”
