TITLE:

INFLUENCE OF SPATIAL VARIATIONS ON THE POTENTIAL INTERACTIONS OF BIRD AND GREEN AREAS IN URBAN CONTEXTS

SUMMARY:

Forest fragmentation results in a decrease in biodiversity. The Atlantic Forest is considered the most degraded biome in Brazil, as it has historically suffered from pressures arising from human occupation. In view of these losses and understanding that urbanization is a process with no return, turning our attention to urban green areas can be an important step towards mitigating some of the damage caused by the loss of natural areas. One of the classes of organisms effectively affected by urban growth are birds, therefore, parks established within or close to urban regions become an important conservation strategy to be applied. The manifestation of these organisms, however, depends on the phytophysiognomies present in urban spaces, taking into account their dimensions in terms of area, variety of plant species, degree of disturbance, and even the degree of similarity between vegetated areas. In this sense, this work aims to understand how spatial variations can influence potential interactions between birds and urban green areas present in the city of São Paulo, based on open public authorities and citizen science platforms. They were
selected shapefiles of the green areas and the 2020 Vegetal Mapping, available in the GeoSampa open data session. Regarding bird richness, information from the 2021 Wild Fauna Inventory of the Municipality of São Paulo was used. To analyze the relationship between vegetation cover, park area and diversity of vegetation cover with bird richness, they were applied. Generalized Linear Models of the Poisson family. Considering the hypothesis of interaction between vegetation cover and park area, we selected models using Akaike's criterion. As a result, we identified that the richness of bird species increases in green areas with more types of vegetation, taking into account the heterogeneity of habitat, which ends up corroborating the hypothesis that the richness of bird species would also be greater in areas green with a higher proportion of forest vegetation types. We can also observe that the richness of bird species is greater in larger green areas, according to the species-area relationship. This fact highlights the importance of maintaining vegetatively heterogeneous spaces, as well as the conservation of larger and more homogeneous areas for endemic species present in the municipality, revealing that both strategies are accepted in view of the area's objective in conservation actions, the needs of the ecosystem itself and the population itself.
