Abstract

The general objective of the research is to analyze the vegetation fragments of Hydrographic Basin of Alto Jacuí (BHAJ) aiming at the expansion of Ecological Corridor of Quarta Colônia. Thus, we have as specific objectives: identifying the Ecological Corridor of Quarta Colônia area in BHAJ; delimiting and mapping of vegetation fragments present in BHAJ; carrying out the data overlap obtained in mapping of vegetation fragments of BHAJ with the limits of Ecological Corridor of Quarta Colônia; suggesting, through the principles of Landscape ecology and Geoecology, the area expansion of Ecological Corridor of Quarta Colônia through the incorporation of new vegetation fragments of Atlantic Forest Biome presents in BHAJ. Therefore, we performed bibliographic research, thematic mapping and fieldwork. Among the results, we highlight: identification of 14 areas to incorporate and expand the Ecological Corridor of Quarta Colônia (core zone) that are a continuation of vegetation fragments of Atlantic Forest Biome, which have already been defined as core zone of the Atlantic Forest Biosphere Reserve.
Keywords: Vegetation Fragments; Atlantic Forest Biome; Atlantic Forest Biosphere Reserve; Environmental Services.
