Relief influence on the spatial distribution of the Atlantic Forest cover on the Ibiúna Plateau, SP

Abstract: Several studies suggest that, on a large scale, relief conditions influence the Atlantic Forest cover. The aim of this work was to explore these relationships on a local scale, in Caucaia do Alto, on the Ibiúna Plateau. Within an area of about 78 km 2 , the distribution of forest cover, divided into two successional stages, was associated with relief attribute data (slope, slope orientation and altitude). The mapping of the vegetation was based on the interpretation of stereoscopic pairs of aerial photographs,… Show more

“…As previously implied, environmental factors are themselves spatially structured at such locations, due to changes in topographic features both on large and small scales (Silva et al, 2007). Results here corroborate that these terrain changes seem to determine not only environmental variation, but also the contagious distribution of soil and litter (Gobin et al, 2001;Sariyildiz and Küçük, 2008).…”

“…As diferenças na porcentagem de cobertura florestal entre as três paisagens estudadas também podem estar relacionadas com as diferenças de altitude e de declividade dos terrenos (Silva et al, 2007;Cabral & Fiszon, 2004). Nas paisagens B e C, a menor altitude e o relevo mais suave facilitam sua ocupação pela agropecuária tradicional.…”

“…Normalmente espera-se que em terrenos muito declivosos a cobertura florestal seja dominante por causa das limitações de uso desses locais para a agropecuária tradicional (Silva et al 2007). No caso de Vassouras é possível sugerir que, conforme relatos históricos (Stein, 1990), no auge do ciclo do café a grande maioria das terras era usada para a cultura, mas depois, com o declínio, os piores terrenos devem ter sido os primeiros a ser abandonados.…”
