ATLANTIC FOREST FRAGMENTATION: THEORETICAL ASPECTS

ABSTRACT

The fragmentation of Atlantic Forest, as a result of landscape transformation, became even harder the conservation of that rich biodiversity. Although this, theoretical recent concepts, if consistently supported with land experimentation, could minimise the problems of isolation. The increases of connectivity throw ecological corridors, between conservation units and even between the well preseverd fragments can, in part, the good conditions and even promote the functional recuperation of ecological units.

Key words:
Fragmentation; Atlantic Forest; Conservation
