Abstract:
The mapping of phytoecological units in the Region of Cerrado, of Brazil, has the purpose of giving a global view of the result obtained through the mapping of a big extension of the country's vegetation cover, where predominates the 'cerrado'. The phytoecological units represent the close links between the vegetation physiognomy and other environmental elements. Thus, its overall goal is to provide elements which will serve as a basis for the setting uf of a rational settlement and development policy of a still not well known area because of its complexity. On the Cuiaba' Sheet (Lat. 12 deg S - 16 deg S- Long. 54 deg W - 60 deg W), which constitutes the main subject of this paper, there were identified 13 (thirteen) different units in which, besides several 'cerrado' physiognomies, some forests were found. On the north of the area it occurs the contact between the dominium of the 'cerrado' and the Amazonian dominium. Right now in this transition zone takes place a new, different, phase of territorial occupation, operated by large enterprises implanting agricultural and cattle raising projects. Considering the outmost vulnerability of the ecosystem of the transitional areas, particularly concerning the soils, we believe that this study could be useful for further detailed research viewing programming purposes.
