Resumo

A fragmentação da Mata Atlântica é considerada uma séria ameaça à biodiversidade, uma vez que este bioma é considerado um ‘hottest hotspot’. Por esse motivo, muitas estratégias ambientais estão sendo desenvolvidas para apoiá-lo, sendo uma delas a priorização de remanescentes florestais utilizando métricas de ecologia da paisagem. Assim, o objetivo principal deste estudo é o desenvolvimento de um índice de priorização de manchas (IPP) para subsidiar ações e pesquisas de conservação. Primeiramente, foi realizado um diagnóstico dos remanescentes florestais na área de estudo utilizando métricas de ecologia da paisagem. Em seguida, por meio de revisão de literatura e consultoria especializada, foram selecionadas as métricas adequadas de ecologia da paisagem e suas respectivas importâncias dentro do índice. Métricas de paisagem selecionadas (AREA, SHAPE e NEARD) compuseram o PPI. Finalmente, usando uma avaliação ecológica rápida (BII) o PPI foi validado em campo. Os resultados mostraram que a área de estudo possui manchas capazes de auxiliar na manutenção da biodiversidade na paisagem. Além disso, a seleção e a importância atribuída às métricas de ecologia da paisagem se mostraram adequadas. Ademais, o índice é preciso o suficiente para identificar manchas, classes e regiões prioritárias para a conservação da biodiversidade. Por fim, a validação do PPI em campo mostrou que o PPI é eficaz para estimar a integridade das manchas em campo. Em conclusão, nossos resultados sugerem que o PPI pode ser usado para a priorização de remanescentes de Mata Atlântica em uma paisagem coberta principalmente por remanescentes de Mata Atlântica e agricultura.
