“…The connectivity between patches is relevant when studying the structure of the landscape since proximity influences the gene flow between forest patches and, therefore, the maintenance of the biotic community PINHEIRO, 1998). In this sense, the connectivity index has been applied to guide the decision-making process on conservation and restoration actions, through the dispersal ability of the species, for example, (CROUZEILLES et al, 2014;DALLOZ et al, 2017;TAMBOSI;METZGER, 2013) and creating ecological corridors in the Atlantic Forest (SANTOS et al 2018). The forest fragmentation observed in this study directly affected the increasing patch connectivity index.…”

Multitemporal spatial analysis for monitoring land cover and use is an important tool for understanding the evolutionary dynamics of a certain region. This study aims at determining and using landscape ecology indices to map and analyze the forest landscape structure in the Barra Seca River basin, an area of 2,216.56 km 2 , in northern Espírito Santo, in 1985, 1996, 2006 and 2016. The forest patches composing the landscape were isolated and classified by area size using remote sensing techniques by supervised classification and the Bhattacharya algorithm. The landscape metrics and indices in the Patch Analyst extension and

“…However, these models do not consider the interactions between factors affecting ecological carrying capacity, whose levels were only analysed from the perspective of anthropogenic possession and the utilisation of natural resources. The landscape ecology model mainly assesses the current status and dynamic trends of multi-scale EES and can easily store information due to the presence of landscape structure components (Dalloz et al, 2017). However, the landscape pattern indexes cannot better reflect EES, which leads to unreliable evaluation results.…”

It is a universal problem that the eco-geological environment has been damaged by mineral resources exploitation. The accurate evaluation of eco-geological environmental security (EES) in mining areas is essential for restoring the environment of the mining area. However, a robust approach to obtaining an accurate evaluation of ESS has not yet been produced due to the complex spatio-temporal process of EES. Here, we developed a new method for enabling the quantitative evaluation of the EES spatio-temporal process. The EES evaluation index system of mining areas was established from both natural and anthropogenic aspects. The EES evaluation method was developed by combining the catastrophe theory and projection pursuit model (PPM). Then, with the support of remote sensing (RS) and a geographic information system (GIS), the method was applied to evaluate the spatio-temporal process of EES in Panxi mining area. The bifurcation curve and receiver operating characteristic curve were used to verify the developed method. The results showed that this method could accurately evaluate the spatio-temporal process of EES in a mining area and could successfully recognise the threshold value to distinguish the safe status and unsafe status. Strong spatio-temporal variations of EES in Panxi area were found, which may be the result of the combined effect of multiple factors (e.g. mineral resource exploitation, soil erosion, and ecological restoration). In summary, the combination of catastrophe theory and PPM with RS and GIS to quantitatively evaluate the spatio-temporal process of EES in mining areas is a robust method.

“…Embora a temática ainda se encontre escassa na literatura (DALLOZ et al, 2017) devido ao fato de estar sendo organizada e solidificada assim como pelo fato do tema ser recente no Brasil (PIVELLO; a Ecologia das Paisagens apresenta duas vertentes de estudo, a geográfica e a ecológica (ver tópico 1.1). A maior parte dos estudos associam-se, principalmente, aos aspectos geográficos da ecologia de paisagens no que tange à ordenação territorial, pouco prestando-se a discutir processos ecológicos aplicados às múltiplas áreas da paisagem florestal.…”

No sentido de contribuir com o avanço das investigações científicas sobre Ecologia de Paisagens no contexto do ordenamento territorial e gestão florestal de recursos naturais, este estudo teve como objetivo reunir e discutir os principais conceitos e temáticas sobre a Ecologia de Paisagens, a abordar o uso da geotecnologia para análises estruturais e métricas da paisagem. A partir de revisão bibliográfica nacional e internacional, relativamente dos mais clássicos aos mais recentes estudos sobre o assunto. As bases dos periódicos científicos utilizados foram: Web of Science, Scielo (Nacional), Science Direct, Scopus, Google Scholar e Brazilian Digital Library of Theses. Foram destacados os conceitos fundamentais e aplicações nas áreas das ciências ambientais e florestais, no sentido de valorar estratégias e tomadas de decisões no planejamento e gestão ambiental rural. Neste trabalho, também foi apresentado o procedimento metodológico para cálculo das métricas da paisagem, por meio da extensão Patch Analyst, aplicada ao Software ArcGIS. Foram compiladas informações de 50 artigos científicos publicados no Brasil e exterior, onde constatou-se relevância significativa e viabilidade do uso dos índices e métricas da Ecologia de Paisagens para fins geográficos e ecológicos, embora, constatou-se que existem lacunas a serem preenchidas sobre o tema no Brasil, em relação às produções científicas, ainda escassas, sobretudo com análises mais concretas e direcionadas. O estudo permitiu a ampliação do conhecimento teórico sobre o tema no país e, espera-se que seja parte integrante e subsidiária para outros estudos sobre restauração ambiental, conexão de paisagens, mosaicos florestais e ordenamento territorial.Palavras-chave: fragmentação florestal; métricas de paisagens; planejamento e gestão ambiental rural; patch analyst; sistema de informações geográficas. LANDSCAPE ECOLOGY APPLIED TO TERRITORIAL ORDER AND FOREST MANAGEMENT: METHODOLOGICAL PROCEDURES ABSTRACT: In order to contribute to the advancement of scientific research on Landscape Ecology in the context of spatial planning and forest management of natural resources, this study aimed to gather and discuss the main concepts and themes on Landscape Ecology, to address the use of geotechnology for structural analysis and landscape metrics. Based on national and international bibliographic review, relatively from the most classic to the most recent studies on the subject. The bases of the scientific journals used were: Web of Science, Scielo (National), Science Direct, Scopus, Google Scholar and Brazilian Digital Library of Theses. Key concepts and applications in the areas of environmental and forest sciences were highlighted in order to evaluate strategies and decision making in rural environmental planning and management. In this work, we also presented the methodological procedure for calculating the landscape metrics, through the Patch Analyst extension, applied to the ArcGIS Software. We compiled information from 50 scientific articles published in Brazil and abroad, where significant relevance and feasibility of the use of indexes and metrics of Ecology of Landscapes for geographic and ecological purposes was verified, although, it was verified that there are gaps to be filled on the theme in Brazil, in relation to the scientific productions, still scarce, especially with more concrete and directed analyzes. The study allowed the expansion of theoretical knowledge about the subject in the country and is expected to be an integral and subsidiary to other studies on environmental restoration, connection of landscapes, forest mosaics and land use planning.Keywords: forest fragmentation; landscape metrics; rural environmental planning and management; patch analyst; geographic information system.
