Повний текст джерелаO efeito da perda de habitat sobre a biodiversidade está ligado a um conjunto de processos não-lineares que fortemente afetam a conectividade e o isolamento da paisagem, e determinam taxas de extinção e colonização. Mudanças na estrutura da paisagem desencadeadas por distúrbios antropogênicos levam não somente à perda de espécies per se, mas também a perda de funções que estas espécies desempenham no ecossistema, com importantes implicações em termos de funcionalidade e provisão de serviços ecossistêmicos. O objetivo geral desta tese é elucidar os processos, que ocorrem no nível da paisagem, que modulam a persistência de aves e, consequentemente, as funções destas aves na provisão do controle de pragas em paisagens fragmentadas. No primeiro capítulo da tese, nós revisamos sistematicamente as evidências empíricas dos efeitos da estrutura da paisagem sobre o controle de pragas provido por aves em sistemas agrícolas ao redor do mundo, identificando os processos, no nível da paisagem, subjacentes a este controle e as lacunas de conhecimento onde futuros esforços devem ser concentrados. Identificamos 226 espécies de aves provendo controle de pragas em sistemas agrícolas, sendo que uma porção substancial destas espécies em sistemas tropicais são dependentes de habitats nativos. Em geral, paisagens mais heterogêneas, com elevada cobertura de habitat nativo e menor isolamento entre fragmentos estão positivamente relacionados com elevadas taxas de controle de pragas provido por aves. Por conseguinte, no segundo capítulo, usamos dados de aves em paisagens fragmentadas emersas em diferentes contextos de matriz agrícola na Mata Atlântica brasileira, para testar limiares de extinção ao nível de comunidade. Foram usadas diferentes métricas de diversidade biológica (taxonômica, funcional e filogenética), com o intuito de avaliar o quanto de habitat é necessário para garantir o funcionamento e resiliência do ecossistema. Nós encontramos que matrizes mais permeáveis são capazes de postergar a perda de espécies em paisagens fragmentadas, no entanto, quando a perda de habitat alcança o limiar crítico de 20%, todos os aspectos da biodiversidade estão comprometidos, independentemente do tipo de matriz. Por fim, no capítulo 3, nós investigamos o processo de \'transbordamento\' (i.e. spillover), um dos principais processos reguladores da provisão do serviço de controle de pragas pela biota dependente de habitats nativos. Nós demonstramos que a composição da matriz é um fator determinante facilitando o movimento de espécies para as matrizes agrícolas, sendo que 24% do pool de espécies consegue utilizar matrizes de cafezal, enquanto este movimento é quase inexistente em matrizes de pastagem. Ademais, em paisagens com pouca cobertura florestal, a interação entre cobertura florestal e densidade de borda é um importante preditivo do spillover. Nossos resultados sugerem que a configuração da paisagem e a composição da matriz devem ser consideradas no planejamento de paisagens agrícolas para garantir a persistência em longo prazo da biodiversidade e a provisão de serviços ecossistêmicos

It has long been observed that underlying geology has a strong impact on the shape of the surrounding landscape and influences the erosional processes that act within that landscape. However, though the importance of rock type in shaping landscapes is recognized, the specific mechanisms by which this is accomplished are not well understood. The work presented here investigates the role of rock type and rock properties in landscape evolution processes in both hillslope and river environments within the Valley and Ridge Province of the Appalachian Mountains. This setting is ideally suited for investigating the role of rock type on landscape evolution processes because of the wide variation in rock types present in this setting, which exert a strong influence on local topography (e.g., strong rocks form ridges while weak rocks underlie valleys). First, I mapped the distribution of large boulders on local Valley and Ridge slopes and mountain streams to assess the potential for these boulders to play a role in preserving local topography. Results show that boulders are sourced from resistant rock types found along ridgelines, and are abundant on hillslopes and highly concentrated in channels. Boulders also trap sediment upslope and appear to remain in place for long periods of time. These observations suggest boulders play an important role in slowing erosion of weaker rock types underlying hillslopes and channels, and therefore aid in preserving topography in this setting. Second, I conducted detailed surveys of local small-scale waterfalls and surrounding flat river reaches and compared properties of the bedrock between these locations to better understand how bedrock properties influence erodibility. In this setting, waterfalls often signify strong underlying bedrock relative to the rock beneath flat river reaches, so comparing bedrock properties between these areas should give insight into how properties like rock strength and bed thickness impact how erodible the bedrock is. Results show that bed thickness is the most important variable impacting bedrock erodibility in this setting, and that waterfall appearance is a product of the unique combination of bedrock properties within a given area. These results are important for improving our ability to model natural landscapes and erosional processes, and for developing a more complete understanding for the relationships between rock type and river morphology.

Повний текст джерелаLandschaften entwickeln sich im komplexen Zusammenspiel von Klima und Tektonik. Demzufolge können sie nur verstanden werden, wenn sowohl klimatische als auch tektonische Signale vergangener und rezenter Prozesse identifiziert werden. Um den Einfluss beider Faktoren zu bewerten, ist es deshalb wichtig, die Evolution geomorphologischer Marker in der Natur zu quantifizieren. Die känozoischen Anden sind eine ideale Region, um tektonische und klimatische Aspekte der Landschaftsentwicklung auf verschiedenen Zeit- und Längenskalen zu erforschen. Sie sind das Modell-Subduktionsorogen, assoziiert mit der Subduktion der ozeanischen Nazca-Platte unter den südamerikanischen Kontinent seit ca. 200 Mio Jahren. In Chile ist dieser konvergente Plattenrand geprägt von aktiver Tektonik, Vulkanismus und Gebirgsbildung. Bedeutenderweise ereignen sich entlang der Küste häufig Megaerdbeben, die die Landschaftsentwicklung stark beeinflussen. Tatsächlich ereignete sich das größte jemals aufgezeichnete Erdbeben mit einer Bruchzone von ca. 1000 km Länge 1960 im südlichen Zentralchile. Nichtsdestotrotz ist auf längeren Zeitskalen über historische Dokumentationen hinaus nicht bekannt, wie sich solche seismotektonischen Segmente verhalten und wie sie die geomorphologische Entwicklung der Küstengebiete beeinflussen. Mit semi-unabhängigen morphotektonischen Segmenten, wiederkehrenden Megaerdbeben und einer Fülle geomorphologischer Marker, die aktive Tektonik anzeigen, ist somit der Plattenrand von Chile ein Schlüsselgebiet für das Studium von Zusammenhängen zwischen Oberflächenprozessen und Tektonik. In dieser Arbeit kombiniere ich Geomorphologie, Geochronologie, Sedimentologie und Morphometrie, um die plio-pleistozäne Landschaftsentwicklung des tektonisch aktiven süd-zentralchilenischen Forearcs zu quantifizieren. Mit dieser Analyse liefere ich (1) neue Ergebnisse über den Einfluss seismotektonischer Forearc-Segmentierung auf die geomorphologischen Entwicklung und (2) neue Erkenntnisse über die Interaktion zwischen Klima und Tektonik bezüglich der Gestaltung des chilenischen Forearcs. Ich zeige, dass der Forearc in drei langlebige morphotektonische Segmente gegliedert ist, die nicht mit kurzlebigen Erdbebenbruchzonen korrelieren. Die Segmente heißen Nahuelbuta, Toltén und Bueno Segment, wovon jedes eine andere geomorphologische und tektonische Entwicklung durchläuft. Die Nahuelbuta und Bueno Segmente unterliegen aktiver tektonischer Hebung. Das langfristige Verhalten dieser beiden Segmente manifestiert sich in zwei beidseitig abtauchenden, wachsenden Antiklinalen, die integraler Bestandteil des Küstengebirges sind und die Hebung von marinen und fluvialen Terrassen aufzeichnen. Die Hebung verursachte weitreichende Veränderungen in den Fließrichtungen des Gewässernetzes. Im Gegensatz dazu ist das Toltén Segment, das sich zwischen den beiden anderen Segmenten befindet, quasi-stabil. Um die Hebung und Einschneidung in dem tektonisch aktiven Nahuelbuta Segment zu quantifizieren, habe ich eine Erosionsfläche und fluviale Terrassen in dem Küstengebirge mit kosmogenem 10Be und 26Al bzw. optisch stimulierter Lumineszenz datiert. Meinen Ergebnissen zufolge sind die spätpleistozänen Hebungsraten, die ca. 0,88 mm a-1 betragen, höher als die Oberflächenhebungsraten, die über die letzten 5 Mio Jahre mitteln und ca. 0,21 mm a-1 betragen. Diese Diskrepanz deutet an, dass die Hebung der Oberfläche räumlich und zeitlich sehr stark variiert und sich präferiert an Aufschiebungen konzentriert. Zusätzlich zeigen die Ergebnisse der Expositionsdatierung mit kosmogenem 10Be und 26Al, dass die morphotektonische Segmentierung im Pliozän etabliert wurde, zeitgleich mit dem Beginn der Hebung des Küstengebirges vor ca. 5 Mio Jahren infolge eines Wechsels des Subduktionsmodus von Erosion zu Akkretion. Schließlich habe ich vulkanische Klasten, die aus alluvialen Flächen im Längstal stammen, mit den stabilen kosmogenen Nukliden 3He und 21Ne datiert, um Aufschluss über die Faktoren zu erhalten, die die Sedimentablagerung im Forearc bestimmen. Meine Ergebnisse weisen darauf hin, dass diese flach einfallenden Oberflächen, die vor 150.000 bis 300.000 Jahren abgelagert wurden, in Zusammenhang mit Änderungen des Erosionsregimes in glazialen Episoden entstanden sind. Zusammenfassend zeigen die Daten, dass der heutige geomorphologische Ausdruck des Forearcs post-Miozän und eng mit einer klimatischen Überprägung des tektonischen Systems verknüpft ist. Der klimatische Einfluss spiegelt sich ebenfalls in der Topographie und dem lokalen Relief der Zentral- und Südanden wider. Beide Parameter variieren stark entlang des Plattenrandes, bestimmt durch den jeweils dominierenden Oberflächenprozess, der wiederum letztendlich vom vorherrschenden Klima abhängt. Allerdings reflektiert das Relief teilweise Oberflächenprozesse, die unter vergangenen Klimaten aktiv waren. Das betont die äußerst große Vorsicht, die nötig ist, wenn Landschaften als Spiegel des aktuellen Klimas interpretiert werden.

Повний текст джерелаEm percurso (En route) is made of images, mainly photographs, shot between the years of 2008 and 2016, along the paths and routes of some cities I\'ve been to. Some other pictures, depicting private spaces and streets that I walk on, have also been added to the set. I depart at my experience in registering landscapes, places and spaces as I go from one place to another, especially from the city of Atibaia-SP to the capital of the State, through the windows of private cars or public transportation. The memories of family trips and of drawings made in small notebooks in the last decade, inside buses or out of my memory, organize my current visual understanding. The photography camera becomes a drawing device. After shooting, the treatment procedures, editing and printing are part of the process of building images. The short written notes about some experiences offer information that may contribute to the perception of what is seen. At the same time, the words are autonomous as well as the images are.

The ecological effect of urban form has been an important issue in 20" century planning history. The inadequate relationships between development patterns of modern cities and their natural surroundings had been discussed in Geddes's Cities in Evolution, McHarg's Design with Nature, Lynch's Good City Form, Forman's "ecologically optimum spatial form" in Land Mosaics, and Mitchell's "fine-grain urban pattern" in City of Bits and Etopia (Geddes, 1915; Lynch, 1961, 1981; McHarg, 1969; Forman, 1995; Mitchell, 1995, 1999). However, these normative theories have almost never been tested by empirical studies and quantitative analysis. The thesis is about ecological effects of a twenty-year period urbanization in the fringe area of eastern Taipei metropolis. Using the technology of GIS and the principles of landscape ecology, some quantitative and spatial analyses are applied here to verify the complicated non-linear relationship between city form, forest patch shape and hydrological effects in the case study of eastern Taipei. Some landscape ecological indices like forest patch numbers, corridor connectivity, compactness of city form, landscape fragmentation and landscape heterogeneity are measured across different spatial scales and over twenty years period. Some correlations between the landscape indices and the hydrological change are verified. The following are the main findings of the study: 1. The empirical study provides an operational approach to large-scale metropolitan spatial analysis. The integration of GIS technologies and landscape ecological analysis shows the potential for the future development of a GIS based ecological design and planning tool. 2. A holistic framework is proposed for the purpose of integrating consideration of urban development, landscape change and hydrological processes. The evidence shows that there exist some correlations among the three processes. 3. Some landscape ecological indices are highly correlated with hydrological effects, including the number of 10 hectare or larger forest patches, the compactness index K and the fractal dimension D of city form, and the evenness index E of the landscape heterogeneity. 4. The data show a 10 year "time lag" phenomenon between urban development and hydrological effect in eastern Taipei. The differences of the runoff effect between 1980s and 1990s support the hypothesis that there exists a threshold point or limitation of the natural system. When the magnitude of urban development goes beyond that limitation, the original hydrological system became "irreversible" or "less reversible". 5. The evidence of the threshold point indicates that the strategic timing point and spatial points could become the basis for design and planning intervention. Using scenarios planning procedure, a sustainable urban environment could be achieved gradually by applying landscape ecological principles.
