Análise do Padrão Espacial do Uso e Cobertura do Solo e da Fragmentação e Conectividade da Vegetação no Semiárido do Nordeste Brasileiro: Bacias Dos Rios Taperoá e Alto Paraíba-Pb

This study analyzes the Amazon rainforest in the Brazilian state of Rondônia from the perspective of the forest regeneration observed from 2008 to 2018. The research examines the regeneration’s contribution to the landscape’s morphological spatial pattern within the state’s geographical limits, conservation units, indigenous lands, and the unprotected region. It assesses how the increase of forest regeneration areas influences morphological spatial patterns and evaluates whether the landscape in Rondônia has benefited from these new areas. The GuidosToolbox software was used to extract the morphological spatial pattern and the indices of morphological spatial patterns of forest habitats. The findings showed that Rondônia developed forest regeneration areas for 10 years, but these areas contributed little to improving the landscape morphological spatial patterns. The increase in regeneration areas contributed adequately only in the unprotected region. Therefore, the forest regeneration was not enough to compensate for the observed deforestation. Thus, conservation actions must be complemented with restoration activities focused on reconnecting patches and increasing the size of forest habitat through projects to encourage environmental regularization of exploited areas. Study Implications: The state of Rondônia reflects what is happening in the Brazilian Amazon, with high levels of deforestation and forest regeneration in abandoned areas after anthropic use. The emergence of new forest areas contributes to reducing the effects of anthropization on forest habitat fragments. However, forest regeneration alone is insufficient to ensure that the landscape has substantially recovered. In-depth analyses, such as morphological spatial pattern analysis, can provide a broader view to affirm that regenerated forest areas are growing in a region while enriching forest habitat fragments and resulting in ecological benefits.
