Abstract Mangroves are important ecosystems to humanity because it produces and provide ecosystemic goods and services. However, human activity and climate change directly affect these ecosystems. Thus, mangrove forest distribution, colonization, growth and development are highly dependent on climatic conditions, mainly on air temperature changes and pluvial precipitation.Therefore, this research aims to understand how changes in air temperature and rainfall interact in the mangrove and the implications of the trend of these climate changes in the ecosystem in the Cananéia-Iguape Coastal System.Therefore, this proposal has as general objective to evaluate the relationship between land use types, its occupation and the essential macroclimatic repercussions to mangrove expansion or retraction at Cananeia-Iguape Costal System. To achieve this research objectives will used historical data from orbital products (pluvial precipitation, surface temperature) and surface meteorological stations.The vegetation cover will monitored using vegetation indicators and also though land use and classification. Multiple regression will be applied to establish the relationship between macroclimatic factors and mangrove forest vegetation cover, also, trend technique will be applied to establish possible impacts of macroclimatic factors on the mangrove. Statistical analysis, geoprocessing and remote sensing techniques will be used to process data and information.The expectation is to establish the relationship between land cover and land use at Cananéia-Iguape Coastal System, as well as to establish a possible air temperature variation and pluvial precipitation influences over mangrove forest expansion or retraction. Likewise, it will be possible to understand the future impacts on the mangrove and its land use changes and occupation relationship. (AU) | |
