Abstract This study delves into the pivotal role that indicators play in designing, assessing, and guiding policies for sustainable urban development. Indicators, encompassing both quantitative qualitative measures, serve as essential tools evaluating efforts toward development, providing a practical objective means of understanding complex environment. The lack robust database is identified hindrance to monitoring development progress, underscoring importance comprehensive indicators....
Abstract Human activities threaten the integrity of watersheds. We aimed to investigate impact land use on water quality, adopting a multiscale approach. collected samples from twelve streams in Southern Brazil and conducted limnological analyses (physical, chemical, biological) during dry season. used quality index based standards Canada Brazil. Land percentage was measured two groups (local scale network scale). Environmental variables were summarized through Principal Component Analysis,...
Abstract Although protected areas (PAs) are designed to safeguard natural ecosystems from anthropic modifications, many PAs worldwide subjected numerous human-induced impacts. We evaluated whether the establishment of in Upper Paraná River floodplain region could reduce landscape changes and there is a difference protection when using different PA restriction categories. analyzed overall dynamics 30 years land-use time series data change intensity via partial analysis. Despite increasing...
Forest fragmentation caused by human activities has many implications for natural landscapes, such as habitat reduction and the loss of biodiversity. This study investigated temporal process forest remnants in a strongly agro-industrialised region southern Brazil over 25 years. The studied watershed area hosts two important typologies Atlantic biome well Quaternary Brazilian Savanna biome, which are considered hotspots biodiversity reflect intense urban agro-industrial development. Thus,...
This study uses species distribution modeling and physiological functional traits to predict the impacts of climate change on native freshwater fish in Murray-Darling Basin, Australia. We modelled future changes taxonomic diversity 2050 2080 for two scenarios carbon emissions, identifying areas great interest conservation. Climatic-environmental variables were used model range 23 under each scenario. The consensus model, followed by filter lethal temperature was retained interpretation. Our...
The Brazilian Atlantic Forest and Savanna (i.e., Cerrado) are classified as World Biodiversity Hotspots. Our goal was to analyze the spatial distribution of endangered species in both habitats within Mourão River basin, southern Brazil. remnants were mapped using Landsat 8 satellite images applying NDVI medium landscape metrics. Locations added an additional layer. result a map 4015 forest which 97.66% smaller than 50 ha, 2.34% larger ha. A total 41 recorded fragments basin (total area: 25...
The elaboration of environmental sustainability indexes (ESI) aims to describe the complexity between social, and ecological health. These play a crucial role by helping stakeholders during decision-making process identifying possible sites that require practical sustainable actions. In this study, we aim elaborate an ESI for hydrographic basins. We use three factors build index: land use; vulnerability soil degradation topographic attributes; human development. development factor includes...
Abstract Freshwater ecosystems, providing valuable goods and services to humans, have been subjected multiple human impacts, among which climate change plays a central role in threats species. It is expected that protected areas, the cornerstone of biodiversity conservation efforts, will assume decisive protecting freshwater species from impacts change. This study assessed effects on migratory fish second largest neotropical river basin, evaluating effectiveness areas safeguarding species,...
Abstract: The Devonian Escarpment (DEEPA), located in the south of Brazil, represents an important area environmental preservation composed by grasslands, gallery forests, as well rock outcrops and archaeological sites. A law project (LP 527/2016), which suggests a reduction DEEPA approximately 70% its original (from 393,579 to 125,895 ha), is currently being processed Paraná State House Representatives. Such seems be related economic interests (mainly agriculture mining) state Paraná. If...
Forest fragmentation may negatively impact fauna and flora. An important tool for the development implementation of research on these effects is use a geographic information system (GIS). This paper aims to perform an integrated analysis landscape fragments that compose Alonzo River watershed, Paraná State, by using remote sensing tools ecology metrics. The analyzed metrics were Patton's index, total area patches, edge length, density, forest fragment core patches. results showed 888 patches...
This article presents the seppômen map technique through computer application by using free GIS software SPRING®. The methodology was applied to study in case of geomorphologhical evolution Parana plateaux edges contained Faxinal topographic sheet – state Paraná - Brazil, results were digital elevation models (DEM) and shapes that leads landform area both differential erosion but also strong tectonic control.
