Considerações sobre microclimas e paisagem na Estação Ecológica da UFMG em Belo Horizonte - MG

Abstract

The objective of this article was to characterize the microclimates of the Ecological Station of UFMG and, additionally, to produce information for the elaboration of the management plan of this space, based on the knowledge about the organization of the landscape. Automatic air temperature and relative humidity recorders were used, installed in different sampling points in the period between 01/10 to 05/26/2020. The analysis considered the relationship between meteorological weather conditions and the characteristics of the environment (topography, vegetation and urban factors, mainly). The results showed the susceptibility of degraded environments to the entry of solar radiation and heat exchanges with the neighboring urban environment, the variable influence of urban equipment and the ecological-climatic importance of forest ecosystems.
