Association between landscape and biological diversity in two PA’s of Santa Catarina
Biodiversity of Santa Catarina: investigating the association between landscape and biological diversity in two protected areas of Santa Catarina
Field survey to study fungi of São Joaquim National Park.
Chamada CNPq/Capes/FAPs/BC-Fundo Newton/PELD nº 15/2016. Duration: 2018 to now. Coordinator: Selvino Neckel de Oliveira.
During three and a half year, the Brazilian Program for Biodiversity Research (PPBio-SC) has advanced in the knowledge of local biodiversity. However, the research is still in its early stages and we have a lot to learn about our ecosystems. The continuity of PPBio-SC, together with the Long-Term Ecological Research Program (PELD), will allow not only understanding ecological changes and the degree of vulnerability of local biodiversity, but also the development of studies to understand the processes and patterns that influence the biodiversity of the Atlantic Forest. The project is developed in two Protected Areas of Santa Catarina state, where PPBio-SC has established research modules: the São Joaquim National Park (SJNP) and the Acaraí State Park (ACSP), with the main objective of investigating the association between the landscape and biological diversity in these areas.
