Resumo: Forests worldwide are essential goods for humanity as they provide support, provision, regulation, and cultural ecosystem services. In Brazil, the Atlantic Forest has lost much of its original cover, is currently represented by relatively small fragments in an anthropized matrix. Therefore, it is very relevant to analyze if forest fragments change in related the fragmentation of the original native vegetation and how they maintain their quality. This study aimed to analyze whether patch-level metrics are related to forest quality (biotic integrity) and whether relief features such as headboards are related to forest fragmentation patterns to provide subsidies for public planning and environmental conservation policies. The methodology involved mapping forest fragments (F) and drainage headboards (DH), calculating patch-level metrics (AREA, SHAPE, PROX), and the biotic integrity (BII) of the forest. Spearman's Correlation Coefficient was used to test the relationship between variables. The results showed a significative robust relationship between AREA and BII and significative medium relationship between SHAPE and DH, confirming partially the initial assumptions of the research. We concluded that the integrity of the forest fragment and the presence of drainage headboards must be considered in public planning and environmental conservation policies.

En Brasil, la Mata Atlántica ha perdido gran parte de su cobertura original, actualmente está representada por fragmentos relativamente pequeños en una matriz antropizada. Por lo tanto, es muy relevante analizar si los fragmentos de bosque cambian en relación con la fragmentación de la vegetación nativa original y cómo mantienen su calidad. El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar si las métricas a nivel de mancha están relacionadas con la calidad del bosque (integridad biótica) y si las características del relieve, como las cabeceras de drenaje, están relacionadas con los patrones de fragmentación del bosque para proporcionar subsidios para la planificación pública y las políticas de conservación ambiental. La metodología implicó mapear los fragmentos de bosque (F) y cabeceras de drenaje (DH), calcular métricas a nivel de mancha (ÁREA, FORMA, PROX) y la integridad biótica (BII) del bosque. Se utilizó el Coeficiente de Correlación de Spearman para probar la relación entre las variables. Los resultados mostraron una relación robusta significativa entre AREA y BII y una relación media significativa entre SHAPE y DH, lo que confirma parcialmente los supuestos iniciales de la investigación. Concluimos que la integridad del fragmento de bosque y la presencia de cabeceras de drenaje deben ser consideradas en las políticas de planificación pública y conservación ambiental.As florestas em todo o mundo são bens essenciais para a humanidade, pois fornecem suporte, provisão, regulação e serviços ecossistêmicos culturais. No Brasil, a Mata Atlântica perdeu grande parte de sua cobertura original, atualmente é representada por fragmentos relativamente pequenos em uma matriz antropizada. Portanto, é muito relevante analisar se os fragmentos florestais mudam em relação à fragmentação da vegetação nativa original e como eles mantêm sua qualidade. Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar se as métricas em nível de mancha estão relacionadas à qualidade da floresta (integridade biótica) e se características do relevo, como cabeceiras de drenagem, estão relacionadas aos padrões de fragmentação florestal para fornecer subsídios para o planejamento público e políticas de conservação ambiental. A metodologia envolveu o mapeamento de fragmentos florestais (F) e cabeceiras de drenagem (DH), cálculo de métricas a nível de mancha (AREA, SHAPE, PROX) e a integridade biótica (BII) da floresta. O Coeficiente de Correlação de Spearman foi utilizado para testar a relação entre as variáveis. Os resultados mostraram uma relação robusta significativa entre AREA e BII e relação média significativa entre SHAPE e DH, confirmando parcialmente os pressupostos iniciais da pesquisa. Concluímos que a integridade do fragmento florestal e a presença de cabeceiras de drenagem devem ser consideradas no planejamento público e nas políticas de conservação ambiental.Research, Society and Development2022-07-20info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/3174410.33448/rsd-v11i9.31744Research, Society and Development; Vol. 11 No. 9; e33211931744Research, Society and Development; Vol. 11 Núm. 9; e33211931744Research, Society and Development; v. 11 n. 9; e332119317442525-3409reponame:Research, Society and Developmentinstname:Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)instacron:UNIFEIenghttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/article/view/31744/27490Copyright (c) 2022 Eliana Cardoso-Leite; Emerson Martins Arruda; Fabricio Macedo Galvani; Roberta Averna Valentehttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCardoso-Leite, ElianaArruda, Emerson Martins Galvani, Fabricio Macedo Valente, Roberta Averna 2022-07-21T12:36:16Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/31744Revistahttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/indexPUBhttps://rsdjournal.org/index.php/rsd/oairsd.articles@gmail.com2525-34092525-3409opendoar:2024-01-17T09:47:58.926255Research, Society and Development - Universidade Federal de Itajubá (UNIFEI)false
