Resumo
The Cerrado is the richest, perhaps the most threatened savannah in the world, and only 3% of
its area is protected by law. These are extremely valuable and strategic areas for the conservation
of the Cerrado, but suffer numerous external and internal pressures. Among the main
management concerns for the Conservation Units (UC) of the Cerrado are fires and biological
invasion. This work investigates how the interference of the management and the dynamics of the
fire and the invasion of exotic grasses alter the phytophysiognomies of cerrado, and is divided in
chapters that investigate respectively: 1) the difficulties in producing a map of sufficient accuracy
to support studies of dynamics of vegetation structure; 2) the effectiveness of the current fire
management system and the challenges of integrated fire management in the last two decades;
3) the invasion by exotic grasses and their relation with the topography of the terrain, tracks and
roads in and around the study area. Landsat 8 images from a period of 5 years from 2013 were
used and calculated for 5 different time intervals - monthly, inter-monthly, annual, yearly,
quinquennial - sets of metrics based on 18 indices derived from reflectance values of the bands
of these images besides the values of reflectance of the bands, data sampled in the field and
semiautomatic classification for the mapping of the vegetation classes of the National Park of
Emas (PNE). From a replicable model it was possible to elaborate a map with 89% accuracy and
nine classes of phytophysiognomies, reducing the costs and the subjectivity of the manual work
of data collection and posterior corrections. Using metrics elaborated from a digital elevation
model and data of presence and absence of Urochloa sp on internal tracks and along the edges
of the UC. Four models were tested using morphometric parameters, distances to tracks and roads
in contrast to the presence or absence of the species. The results point to the importance of
anthropic disturbances, terrain topography, and indicate that the force of water in its runoff is very
relevant in establishing the species in new areas. In order to understand the spatial and temporal
behavior of fire in the Emas National Park (PNE), the frequency of burnings for the different
phytophysiognomies was analyzed, the correlation between the number of heat spots and the
extent of the scars and the influence of the environmental variables surface, precipitation and
accumulation of biomass). The scars of burned areas, heat sources, climatic variables - rainfall
and temperature of the earth's surface (°C) - dry biomass surface and accumulated biomass for
burned and unburned areas were analyzed. The annual peak of heat sources pointed with great
accuracy to the occurrence of burnings in the PNE area, the number of outbreaks showed to be a
good indicator of scar occurrence and size, the extent of area with dry biomass at categories 'very
high' and 'critical' is a risk indicator of large fires and a reasonable predictor of areas that serve
as a blockade to the spread of fires. The current fire management plan through firing and natural
burning during the dry season has brought advances in fire prevention, but it is necessary to
consider the use of prescribed controlled burns.
