Resumo: | The establishment and use of roads interfere with the atmosphere, soil, vegetation, fauna, and human communities surrounding them. One of the main effects caused by the implementation and operation of a road is fragmentation of natural landscapes, which consequently generates edge effects and isolation of populations. Thus, this study aimed to quantify and compare the distribution of vegetation cover in areas with and without ecological influence of roads in the Alto Uruguai region, northern Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. To do this, a geo-relational database was created, where satellite images taken by Landsat V and CBERS 2b were entered. The size and amount of forest fragments were estimated in areas with and without influence of roads. The area with ecological influence of roads had less and smaller sized forest fragments when compared to the area without ecological influence. High forest fragmentation seems to be enhanced by proximity to roads in northern Rio Grande do Sul, contributing to isolate and reduce the size of native populations that occupy these areas. |

Can proximity to roads influence forest fragmentation? A case study in northern Rio Grande do Sul, BrazilProximidade de rodovias pode influenciar a fragmentação florestal? Um estudo de caso no norte do Rio Grande do SulThe establishment and use of roads interfere with the atmosphere, soil, vegetation, fauna, and human communities surrounding them. One of the main effects caused by the implementation and operation of a road is fragmentation of natural landscapes, which consequently generates edge effects and isolation of populations. Thus, this study aimed to quantify and compare the distribution of vegetation cover in areas with and without ecological influence of roads in the Alto Uruguai region, northern Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.

O estabelecimento e o uso das rodovias interferem na atmosfera, no solo, na vegetação, na fauna e nas comunidades humanas que estão em seu entorno. Um dos principais efeitos causados pela implantação e operação de uma rodovia é a fragmentação das paisagens naturais, que consequentemente gera o efeito de borda e o isolamento de populações. Nesse sentido, o objetivo deste estudo foi quantificar e comparar a distribuição da cobertura vegetal em áreas com e sem influência ecológica de rodovias na região do Alto Uruguai, norte do Rio Grande do Sul. Para tal, foi criado um banco de dados georrelacional, onde foram inseridas imagens de satélite Landsat V e CBERS 2b. Foi estimado o tamanho e quantidade de fragmentos florestais nas áreas com e sem influência das rodovias. A área com influência ecológica de rodovias apresentou menos fragmentos florestais e de menor tamanho quando comparada com a área sem influência ecológica. A alta fragmentação florestal parece ser potencializada pela proximidade das rodovias na região norte do Rio Grande do Sul, contribuindo para o isolamento e redução do tamanho das populações nativas que ocupam essas áreas.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina2016-09-09info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/biotemas/article/view/2175-7925.2016v29n3p2110.5007/2175-7925.2016v29n3p21Biotemas; v. 29 n. 3 (2016); 21-282175-79250103-1643reponame:Biotemas (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/biotemas/article/view/2175-7925.2016v29n3p21/32282Copyright (c) 2016 Tiago Rezzadori, Marilia Teresinha Hartmann, Paulo Afonso Hartmanninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessRezzadori, TiagoHartmann, Marilia TeresinhaHartmann, Paulo Afonso2017-10-18T18:34:12Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/41381Revistahttp://www.biotemas.ufsc.br/index.htmPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/biotemas/oai||carlospinto@ccb.ufsc.br2175-79250103-1643opendoar:2017-10-18T18:34:12Biotemas (Online) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false |
