Agricultural and silvicultural landscapes provide complementary conservation to a relevant part of the biota, which demands a standardized monitoring protocol to be adequately managed. In this chapter we present a standardized monitoring protocol of non-flying terrestrial mammals and the native vegetation present in agricultural and silvicultural landscapes of Central-South Brazil. A total of 11 indicators from five taxonomic groups are divided into three categories: (1) the diversity of biological patterns, (2) the complexity of eco-evolutionary processes, and (3) their interactions, from individual to landscape level. Such a monitoring protocol might be useful for the effectiveness of multifunctionality of agricultural landscapes as well as for their environmental certification process by quantifying a relevant part of their biota over time.

摘要

Agricultural and silvicultural landscapes provide complementary conservation to a relevant part of the biota, which demands a standardized monitoring protocol to be adequately managed. In this chapter we present a standardized monitoring protocol of non-flying terrestrial mammals and the native vegetation present in agricultural and silvicultural landscapes of Central-South Brazil. A total of 11 indicators from five taxonomic groups are divided into three categories: (1) the diversity of biological patterns, (2) the complexity of eco-evolutionary processes, and (3) their interactions, from individual to landscape level. Such a monitoring protocol might be useful for the effectiveness of multifunctionality of agricultural landscapes as well as for their environmental certification process by quantifying a relevant part of their biota over time.
