This paper aims to describe the study of the “Faxinal” System (SF) performed by the UNICENTRO researchers. It also seeks to typify “faxinal” areas based on secondary data and to point out trends of the environmental studies. The scientific production at the UNICENTRO regarding “faxinal” areas has significantly grown since the mid 2000s. Moreover, this production displayed a variety of approaches distributed among three departments: History, Forest Engineering and Geography. The currently “faxinal” areas are heterogeneous, since they are spread across different environmental systems. Environmental studies in SF are proposed from two perspectives: typological (small scale) and environmental processes (large scale). The main challenges of the environmental processes investigation are to recognize the biophysical dynamics, to establish a set of biophysical parameters, and to provide geo- and bioindicators of the environmental quality and degradation, as well as to apply methods and techniques for natural resources conservation in “faxinal” areas.Downloads
