Temporal Analysis of the Mangrove Forest at the Mocajuba River Hydrographic Basin-Pará

Abstract

Mangrove forests are ecosystems naturally susceptible to environmental stresses, such as rising sea level and coastal erosion. However, the anthropic stresses, such as real estate speculation, deforestation and water pollution, put at risk this environment's stability, interfering with its balance. The present work's aim is to perform a temporal analysis of the mangrove forest that is a part of the Mocajuba river hydrographic basin and its buffer zone, as well as identifying natural and anthropic stresses to w…
