Resumo:
The Caatinga biome is characterized as a vegetation mosaic, which has distinct landscapes, where
the rocky outcrops are landscapes of dissected rocks, with wavy to rugged elevation, and isolated
from the surrounding environment, these rocky outcrop environments present economic activities of
granitegnámic
mineral extraction, without removal of substrate and vegetation to remove raw
material, and soon after, as exploited and abandoned areas. Aware of the value of these ecosystems,
a geoenvironmental analysis of the landscape of rocky florals in the municipalities of EsperançaPB
and OlivedosPB
is required. Based on the objectives, the work was developed following the
following steps: 1) Bibliographic Survey; 2) Image Acquisition; 3) Digital Processing of PDI
Images; 4) Morphometric Characterization and 5) Field Study. The geoenvironmental conditions of
the city of Esperança result from the climatic and altimetric factors, which directly affect the
formation of soils and consequently the greater anthropic interference. Whereas, in Olivedos for
having a drier climate and lower relief, the anthropic intervention results from the exploitation of
extensive livestock and mining. The landscapes presented in both municipalities form a vegetation
mosaic, with phytophysiognomies in different conservation stages, due to the anthropization and the
physical factors, which are distinct.
