RESUMO:

The Pantanal is the largest continuous floodplain on the planet, renowned for its biodiversity and international recognition. Spanning two Brazilian states and extending into other South American countries, it provides habitat for numerous species and plays a critical role in ecosystem services. However, the biome faces constant threats, including large-scale wildfires, whose severity has increased in the Brazilian Pantanal, causing significant impacts on biodiversity, the hydrological cycle, and traditional livelihoods. The Estação Ecológica de Taiamã (ESEC Taiamã), a federal protected area located in the Mato Grosso Pantanal, was severely affected by the 2020 and 2024 fires. In this context, it is essential to apply technologies and methods capable of understanding environmental changes and monitoring ecosystem regeneration, especially given the scarcity of monitoring and restoration initiatives in Brazil. Geotechnologies have proven to be promising tools in this regard. This study is structured into two articles. Article 1 aims to evaluate how geotechnologies can contribute to the identification and analysis of burned areas in ESEC Taiamã, applying various environmental monitoring techniques to support ecological restoration strategies. Article 2 focuses on characterizing the different macro-hábitats within the conservation unit, quantifying the burned area in each macro-hábitat and integrating these data with field surveys of vegetation. By comparing burned and unburned areas, the study assesses floristic composition, vegetative vigor, and fire severity, highlighting the impacts of burning on local biodiversity. The integration of remote sensing, GIS, and field data enhances the understanding of post-fire dynamics, providing support for Integrated Fire Management (IFM) and identifying priority areas for ecological recovery and restoration. The results offer important insights for the management of ESEC Taiamã and support the development of public policies aimed at conservation, fire management, and ecological restoration in the Pantanal.
