ANÁLISE GEOECOLÓGICA DA CONSERVAÇÃO AMBIENTAL DAS SUB-BACIAS DO RIO CLARO (GO) E DO RIO GARÇAS (MT).

Studies aimed at the characterization of heterogeneous landscapes have been favored by the association analysis geoecológica with indices (metrics) descriptors of the landscape. The objective of this study was to evaluate the conservation status of the landscape by analyzing the fragmentation of the remnants of Cerrado in the sub-basins of the river Claro and the river Garças, located in Alta Araguaia River basin based on land use maps , in the year 2010 and calculation of indices of landscape descriptors using the software FRAGSTATS. The results indicate that the sub-basins have situations Contracting conservation between vegetation types and classes of use, but it is still possible, depending on the results indicated by the connectivity metrics in conservation areas after specific plans.
