Resumo: | The Protected Areas in Brazil have been injured by wildfires that treathen the high biodiversity and ecological processes. The Serra da Canastra National Park (SCNP), located at south Minas Gerais State, is characterized by grasslands predominance and an ancient incorrect use of fire as a land management tool, wich cause large wildfires. The objective of this work was to analyse fire ocorrences in SCNP and to give data to reduce large wildfires as a biodiversity conservation question. The data collection was carried out with fire reports from 1987 to 2001 and local visits. The results shown that most of forest fires causes (50%) in SCNP are human originated, in spite of several forest fires caused by lightnings (44%). Among human causes the most is originated by lawbreakers (47%). There is a high number of forest fires caused by lightnings during the rainy season and transition dry-rainy season and a high number of forest fires caused by humans during the dry season. However, the forest fires caused by lightnings are often restricted to small areas (lower than 500 ha) and the forest fires caused by humans reached large areas in SCNP. Furthermore, the control of fire in SCNP should include several prevention activities, mainly environmental education and combustible isolation. |

A propensão ao fogo no Parque Nacional da Serra da Canastra (PNSC), localizado no sul de Minas Gerais, caracterizado pela predominância de vegetação de campos nativos, juntamente com uma cultura de centenas de anos de utilização incorreta de queimadas para manejo agropecuário na região, têm ocasionado incêndios de difícil controle. Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo avaliar as ocorrências de incêndios florestais no Parque Nacional da Serra da Canastra e fornecer subsídios para redução desses índices. Consideramos que esta avaliação deve ter a conservação da biodiversidade como elemento principal de discussão sobre a melhor forma de manejo de fogo para a Unidade de Conservação. A coleta de dados foi feita através da avaliação dos relatórios de ocorrência de incêndios florestais disponíveis na Unidade no período de 1987 a 2001 e visitas de campo. Os resultados mostraram que a maior parte das causas de incêndios no Parque Nacional da Serra da Canastra (50%) é de origem humana, apesar do grande número de incêndios causados por raios (44%). Entre as causas humanas, a maior parte é criminosa, originada por incendiários (47%). Há uma elevada concentração de incêndios causados por raios na estação chuvosa e transição seca-chuva e uma concentração de incêndios de causa humana durante a estação seca, principalmente entre junho e outubro. No entanto, os incêndios de raio normalmente queimam pequenas áreas (menores de 500 ha), enquanto que os de causa humana são mais catastróficos, atingindo áreas maiores. Para a redução dos incêndios florestais no interior do Parque, é fundamental o controle do fogo através de ações de prevenção, pouco disseminadas na região, principalmente através de educação ambiental e isolamento de combustíveis (aceiros).Universidade Federal de Santa Maria2004-06-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsm.br/cienciaflorestal/article/view/181510.5902/198050981815Ciência Florestal; Vol. 14 No. 2 (2004); 157-168Ciência Florestal; v. 14 n. 2 (2004); 157-1681980-50980103-9954reponame:Ciência Florestal (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM)instacron:UFSMporhttps://periodicos.ufsm.br/cienciaflorestal/article/view/1815/1079Medeiros, Marcelo Brilhante deFiedler, Nilton Cezarinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2017-05-16T17:01:21Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/1815Revistahttp://www.ufsm.br/cienciaflorestal/ONGhttps://old.scielo.br/oai/scielo-oai.php||cienciaflorestal@ufsm.br|| cienciaflorestal@gmail.com|| cf@smail.ufsm.br1980-50980103-9954opendoar:2017-05-16T17:01:21Ciência Florestal (Online) - Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM)false |
