“…The analysis resulted in a quantitative assessment of linear meters of hedgerows, both in absolute value and in terms of density, by comparing the value of linear meters with the surface of the tree and herbaceous crops, while isolated trees were assessed in terms of their absolute number, given the isolated nature of the element. According to the approach of [30], hedgerows were compared only to the cultivated surface, thus excluding areas that were already interested in natural vegetation. In this paper, differing from Ref.…”

“…In this paper, differing from Ref. [30], we used the linear length of hedgerows rather than their surface because we deemed this measure more reliable, being impossible to estimate hedgerow width with a sufficient level of accuracy by map interpretation. We also reversed the ratio to have an indicator with a direct relation to hedgerow density, rather than an inverse one.…”

Agricultural modernization brought about a significant land use change, with the expansion both of crops that could be more easily mechanized and of woodland and natural areas. Meanwhile, to increase the cultivated area, the farmland fabric of patches and infrastructures underwent a process of progressive simplification that caused the disappearance of landscape elements with high ecological value, such as hedgerows and isolated trees. This paper first analyses the land cover of the territory of a hilly inland municipality in Tuscany (Italy) in the years 1954, 1978 and 2016 and then assesses the loss of hedgerows and isolated trees that occurred between 1954–2016 in a sub-area. This analysis was performed using photointerpretation based on Q-GIS. Secondly, the paper analyzes the drivers of these phenomena focusing on the main direct and indirect costs of reintroducing hedgerows. Finally, it discusses the role of available policy instruments and planning tools in reversing hedgerow-loss trends. Results show that current policies were scarcely effective both from a quantitative and qualitative point of view and that more complex and coordinated tools are needed. While the discussion is mainly based on the case-study analysis, based on the authors’ opinion it could be applied to many other areas.

“…Essas áreas naturais têm a conformação geomorfológica terrestre dos processos erosivos naturais que formaram o sistema natural de drenagem (FERREIRA;BEZERRA, 2015;HORTON, 1945;PISSARRA, 2002;ROCHA, 2001). Ante a crise hídrica, o estudo da conformação geomorfológica e as características morfométricas podem indicar áreas prioritárias para o planejamento e a tomada de decisão em áreas municipais (AHER; ADINARAYANA; GORANTIWAR, 2014; LISETSKII; STOLBA; MARININ, 2015;MANCINELLI et al, 2015).…”

RESUMO Este trabalho propõe indicadores ambientais de políticas públicas com base na espacialização dos parâmetros morfométricos e de conflito de uso em áreas municipais. As técnicas de geoprocessamento de imagens orbitais em sistemas de informações geográficas foram utilizadas para analisar o banco de dados dos valores de cada parâmetro morfométrico da superfície terrestre - área, perímetro, comprimento da rede de drenagem, densidade de drenagem, número de canais, frequência de rios, declividade e coeficiente de rugosidade - e elaborar os mapas temáticos de uso atual, de uso potencial e de conflito de uso do solo. Os dados foram submetidos à análise estatística descritiva e exploratória multivariada. A espacialização dos valores obtidos da caracterização morfométrica gerou indicadores físicos ambientais que possibilitaram a diferenciação de áreas. O conhecimento do sistema hidrológico dessas regiões reflete o sistema natural de drenagem em seu comprimento. O número de canais e conflito de uso indicam áreas prioritárias para gestão ambiental e políticas de uso do solo. Os parâmetros morfométricos são potenciais indicadores ambientais.
