ALTERAÇÕES DE PAISAGENS RIBEIRINHAS: O CASO DO RIO PARAMOPAMA, ESTADO DE SERGIPE

Riverine landscape changes: case-study of Paramopama River, Sergipe State. This work aimed to analyze current changes caused by riverbank’s erosi on, as well as to verify the effectiveness of soil bioengineering techniques on the landscape recovery applied to Paramopama River banks. In order to verify landscape’s changes, it analyzed a photograp hic set produced during the period of 1998-2008, which had been classified according to its degree o f anthropization as very high, high and low degree. Species with higher occurrence were those belonging to botanic family of Gramineae. There were many factors to landscape change, erosion was the most i portant followed by disturbances caused by ducts installation across the river channel. At Paramopam a River two different moments could be observed, firstly, a very high degree of anthropization follo wed by a high degree of anthropization. Soil bioengineering technique was efficient to landscape recovery, providing ecological conditions to ecosystem recovery.
