Resumo
threatened biomes in the world regarding the biodiversity, with about 40% of its original area already converted. In fact, this region represents an important role in the national economy, largely due to the intensive agricultural production generated within its physiographic domains. In order to understand, even late, this biome with respect to its ecological and economic aspects, we propose in this paper to assess the eventual interdependence between economic valuation, through the categories of land prices, and the environmental asset native vegetation cover. In particular, we investigated the relationship between poverty intensity, land prices, and the remnant vegetation cover at municipality level for the state of Goiás (core Cerrado area). Among the main results, it was verified the existence of a subtle dependence between remnants vegetation cover and such land price categories, with emphasis to the High Support Pasture category (r2 of 0.30). In relation to the poverty intensity index (which directly influences the environment conservation), the results suggest an increasing trend between poverty and the Cerrado remnants (r2 of 0.38). Poverty also seems to be more preeminent in locations with lower land prices, especially in regions with availability of the Low Support Pastures category (r2 of 0.24).
