Abstract: A map of the native vegetation remaining in São Carlos County was built based on aerial images, satellite images, and field observations, and a projection of the probable original vegetation was made by checking it against soil and relief surveys. The existing vegetation is very fragmented and improverished, consisting predominantly of cerrados (savanna vegetation of various physiognomies), semideciduous and riparian forest, and regeneration areas. Araucaria angustifolia (Bertol.) Kuntze, found in patches insi… Show more

“…Three centuries later, in 1994, the natural vegetation was evaluated via aerial photographs and found to cover 7% of the total area of the municipality. The vegetation was composed of savanna (2%), arboreal savanna (2.5%), semi-deciduous and riparian forests (1%), and areas of regeneration (1.5%); the A. angustifolia semi-deciduous forest was extinct [19].…”

“…Its maximum altitude is about 950 m with a minimum of 520 m. The climate of the region is classified between CWA and AW in Köppen's system, representing a transition from warm tropical with dry winter climate to tropical with dry summer and humid winter. The average annual rainfall is 1468 mm, with rain predominating between November and February [8].…”

“…The climate of the region is bimodal, with dry winters (April-September), wet summers (October-May) and an average rainfall of 1400 mm. The native vegetation of the area was mainly composed of savannas, arboreal savannas and riparian forests, but it is currently very fragmented, with only 7% of its original coverage remaining (Soares et al, 2003).…”
