Resumo: | The article defends the importance of the concept of Brazilian biomes, both for historical-environmental analysisand for the development of legislation and public policies aimed at conserving the natural world. In additionto discussing the general lines of the concept genealogy, it argues that it is especially useful for visualizingthe territorial construction of the country as a whole, while presenting clear limits for a more detailed regionaland micro-regional analysis. The synthetic representation of biomes facilitates a synoptic perception of Brazil’secological regions. This perception is in line with the adoption of a basic methodological premise of environmentalhistory: the need to investigate the movement of human societies in the context of territories filled and colored bythe diversity of living beings and geological dynamics that exist concretely in the different spaces of the planet.That is, to overcome the simplification presented by a cartography that is only political and centered exclusivelyon human action. Finally, the article analyzes some examples of the rich historiography that already exists on thehistory of biomes, drawing attention to the importance of getting to know the production that is emerging in thevarious regions of the country, both in academic spaces and in literature in general. |

Además de discutir las líneas generales de la genealogía del concepto, argumenta que este conceptoes especialmente útil para visualizar la construcción territorial del país como un todo, al mismo tiempo quepresenta límites claros para un análisis más detallado a nivel regional y microrregional. La representaciónsintética de los biomas facilita una percepción sinóptica de las regiones ecológicas de Brasil. Esta percepciónestá en consonancia con la adopción de una premisa metodológica básica de la historia ambiental: lanecesidad de investigar el movimiento de las sociedades humanas en el contexto de territorios colmados y coloreados por la diversidad de seres vivos y dinámicas geológicas que existen concretamente en los diferentes espacios del planeta. En otras palabras, superar la simplificación que presenta una cartografía sólo política y centrada exclusivamente en la acción humana. Por último, este artículo analiza algunos ejemplos de la rica historiografía que ya existe sobre la historia de los biomas, llamando la atención sobre la importancia de conocer la producción que está surgiendo en las diversas regiones del país, tanto en los espacios académicos como en la literatura en general.O artigo defende a importância do conceito de biomas brasileiros, tanto para a análise histórico-ambientalquanto para o desenvolvimento da legislação e das políticas públicas voltadas para a conservação do mundonatural.
