Resumo: | Forest fires, regardless of their causes, represent one of the greatest threats to biodiversity in Brazilian protected areas. Collecting data on the causes, periods, and sites with the highest occurrence of fires allows for the adoption of more effective prevention strategies. The aim of this study was to characterize forest fires in Brazilian federal protected areas from 2006 to 2012, thus contributing to improving the knowledge of the dynamics of fires in these areas. Data were obtained from Fire Occurrence Records (ROIs, in Portuguese) available in the National Fire Information System (SISFOGO, in Portuguese) database. The total number of records found was 2,259, of which 88.2% had reported causes. Among the records with a reported cause, 42.2% correspond to unknown causes, 26.7% to debris burning, and 18.5% to arson events, which shows that the majority of fires with a known cause are the result of accidental or intentional human action. Forest fires were more frequent from July to October, with a mean of 50.6 occurrences per year, influenced by the annual precipitation distribution. Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro and Ceará were the states with the highest number of records, with 19.8%, 15.5%, and 12.0%, respectively. Forest fires reported without any cause information or reported as unknown cause indicate, respectively, a poor use of the tool (ROI) or an unsatisfactory expertise in identifying the cause of the fire, resulting in an obstacle for planning actions to prevent and fight forest fires in protected areas. |

La obtención de datos sobre las causas, los periodos y los lugares de mayor incidencia de los incendios permite adoptar estrategias de prevención más eficaces. El objetivo de este estudio fue caracterizar los incendios forestales en las áreas protegidas federales brasileñas entre 2006 y 2012, contribuyendo de este modo a mejorar el conocimiento de la dinámica de los incendios en estas áreas. Los datos se obtuvieron de los Registros de Ocurrencia de Incendios (ROIs, en Portugués) disponibles en la base de datos del Sistema Nacional de Información de Incendios (SISFOGO, en Portugués). El número total de registros encontrados ha sido de 2.259, de los cuales el 88,2% indicaba la causa del incendio. Entre los registros con causa indicada, el 42,2% corresponde a la categoría "causa desconocida", el 26,7% a la quema para la limpieza y el 18,5% a los pirómanos, lo que demuestra que la mayoría de los incendios con causa conocida son resultado de una acción humana accidental o intencionada. Los incendios forestales fueron más frecuentes de julio a octubre, con una media de 50,6 ocurrencias al año, influidas por la distribución anual de las precipitaciones. Minas Gerais, Río de Janeiro y Ceará fueron los estados con mayor número de registros, con 19,8%, 15,5% y 12,0%, respectivamente. Los incendios forestales registrados sin información sobre la causa o registrados como "causa desconocida" revelan, respectivamente, un uso deficiente de la herramienta (ROI) o un conocimiento insatisfactorio de la identificación de la causa del incendio, lo que supone un obstáculo para la planificación de acciones de prevención y extinción de incendios en las áreas protegidas.Os incêndios florestais, independentemente de suas causas, representam uma das maiores ameaças à biodiversidade nas unidades de conservação brasileiras.

O objetivo deste estudo foi caracterizar os incêndios florestais nas unidades de conservação federais brasileiras de 2006 a 2012, contribuindo assim para aprimorar o conhecimento da dinâmica dos incêndios nessas áreas.

O número total de registros encontrados foi de 2.259, dos quais 88,2% indicavam a causa do incêndio. Entre os registros com a causa indicada, 42,2% corresponderam à categoria “causa desconhecida”, 26,7% à queima para limpeza e 18,5% à incendiários, o que evidencia que a maioria dos incêndios com causa conhecida decorre da ação humana acidental ou intencional. Os incêndios florestais foram mais frequentes de julho a outubro, com uma média de 50,6 ocorrências por ano, influenciados pela distribuição anual da precipitação. Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro e Ceará foram os estados com maior número de registros, com 19,8%, 15,5% e 12,0%, respectivamente. Os incêndios florestais registrados sem informação de causa ou registrados como “causa desconhecida” revelam, respectivamente, mau uso da ferramenta (ROI) ou conhecimento insatisfatório na identificação da causa do incêndio, resultando em um obstáculo para o planejamento de ações de prevenção e combate a incêndios em unidades de conservação.Universidade Federal de Santa Maria2023-06-07info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsm.br/cienciaflorestal/article/view/6902810.5902/1980509869028Ciência Florestal; Vol. 33 No. 2 (2023): Publicação Contínua; e69028Ciência Florestal; v. 33 n. 2 (2023): Publicação Contínua; e690281980-50980103-9954reponame:Ciência Florestal (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM)instacron:UFSMenghttps://periodicos.ufsm.br/cienciaflorestal/article/view/69028/60977Copyright (c) 2023 Ciência Florestalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCosta, Aline das GraçasLima, Gumercindo SouzaTorres, Fillipe Tamiozzo PereiraRodrigues, Vinícius BarrosSilva Júnior, Milton Ribas daAlmeida, Marcello Pinto de2023-06-22T01:29:08Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/69028Revistahttp://www.ufsm.br/cienciaflorestal/ONGhttps://old.scielo.br/oai/scielo-oai.php||cienciaflorestal@ufsm.br|| cienciaflorestal@gmail.com|| cf@smail.ufsm.br1980-50980103-9954opendoar:2023-06-22T01:29:08Ciência Florestal (Online) - Universidade Federal de Santa Maria (UFSM)false |
