| Abstract | |
This study aims to contribute to investigate the impact projections for of climate change on cultural heritage of the Historic Valley of São Paulo, focusing on the action of fungi in the wood structures of historic buildings. Several studies have been conducted in Europe on this subject, but in Brazil works of this nature are not numerous. A review of the literature on climate change indicates overall increases in air temperature, changes in precipitation regimes and several other climatic alterations across the planet. Meteorological data from the study area and microclimate monitoring data from the indoor microclimate of some buildings were collected. Climate simulation data concerned the next 100 years in the region were also obtained, thus resulting in a scenario of climate and indoor microclimate changes. Experimental analysis on the presence of lignocellulose-degrading fungi on cultural heritage materials were carried out. The findings of the study indicate that changes in the climate of the region can increase the risk of biodeterioration of historic buildings of the region studied (AU) | |
