“…In addition, it is particularly interesting to investigate which part of variation in species composition is explained by fractions corresponding to environment, to spatially structured environment, and only to space (Peres-Neto 2006;Peres-Neto & Legendre 2010). In recent years, the Atlantic Forest, one of the world's 35 hotspots for conservation of biodiversity (Ribeiro et al 2011), has been the object of many studies aimed at verifying the effect of environmental variables on vegetation distribution patterns along environmental gradients (Budke et al 2007;Ferreira-Júnior et al 2007;Rodrigues et al 2007;Silva et al 2009;Gonçalves et al 2011;Souza et al 2012;Higuchi et al 2013;Marcuzzo et al 2013;Mélo et al 2013). However, few studies have analyzed the influence of spatial components on the environment and distribution of vegetation (Machado et al 2008;Mélo et al 2013).…”

“…Apesar de atualmente serem amplamente reconhecidos pela sua importância biológica e para a manutenção dos chamados serviços ambientais, os ecossistemas integrantes da Mata Atlântica continuam a ser reduzidos e degradados, subsistindo em pouco mais de 12% da sua área de distribuição original (Mittermeier et al 2004, Ribeiro et al 2011. O estabelecimento e manejo adequado de unidades de conservação de proteção integral -UPIs, se impõem como a maneira mais efetiva de resguardar a sua biodiversidade no curto prazo.…”

“…estabelecimento de rodovias, linhas de transmissão de energia elétrica, gasodutos, etc). Muitas UPIs apresentam deficiências de concepção que contribuem para intensificar estes impactos, tais como tamanho insuficiente para manter populações viáveis da maior parte das espécies no longo prazo, sobreposição com áreas tradicionalmente ocupadas por populações humanas, etc (Terborgh & Van Schaik, 2002, Ribeiro et al 2011.…”

Epub 2017 June 01.Key words: Atlantic Forest, Brazil, forest fragmentation, anthropogenic disturbance, long-duration study, spatial dependence, geostatistics.example, habitat degradation results in reductions of both forest cover and species diversity (Ribeiro, Martensen, Metzer, Tabarelli, Scarano, & Fortin, 2011) with serious implications for forest ecosystem functioning and organization (Silva-Matos, Fonseca, & Silva-Lima, 2005;Lima & Moura, 2008;Pereira, Filho, Eisenlohr, Miranda, & Filho, 2015). The spatial distribution of forest species is an interactive Forest fragmentation is one of the principal factors promoting forest degradation.…”
