Proposta de recuperação ambiental da mata ciliar do <Riacho das Oiticicas= no Campus da UFCG em Pombal-PB.

Abstract

The objective of this work was to develop a recovery proposal for the riparian forest of the <Riacho das Oiticicas= on the UFCG Campus in Pombal-PB. The methodology adopted was developed through bibliographical research, field visits, photodocumentation, geoprocessing tools, floristic and faunal surveys and environmental impact assessment tools with classification criteria for impacts considered significant. The study has the following structure: delimitation and mapping of the riparian forest area; diagnosis of pre-degradation and post-degradation scenarios; definition of a recovery strategy and proposal for environmental monitoring. Riparian forests are essential for protecting and maintaining the environmental quality of water bodies and for ecological balance. These plant formations have been degraded recurrently in a process with a worrying scale and intensity. The results obtained are intended to contribute to the recovery and maintenance of the environmental quality of the study area, especially water resources, flora and fauna, and also enable compliance with current legislation, since riparian forests are protected by law.
