Therefore, this research aims to assess the conservation management of protected areas and reflections on urban consolidation objectives deployment of these environments in the city of Manaus. Whereas the records today on this topic, were directed to the federal and state levels. The methodology followed the principles of applied research and exploration, together with the method developed theoretical results for Faria (2004). The sampling units were selected: Parque Municipal do Mindu, Parque dos Bilhares, Parque Lagoa do Japiim, Jardim Botânico de Manaus Adolpho Ducke and Refúgio da Vida Silvestre Sauim-Castanheiras. The results showed several critical management areas analyzed, confirming the basic assumption of the study, that within the organizational environment, resides the need for coordinated collective action to remedy the shortcomings of a series of management questions that weaken the municipal system protected areas. / A compreensão do processo de gestão da conservação como um fator de análise, envolvendo pessoas e recursos, é preponderante para determinar se as ações e meios estão em consonância para o alcance dos objetivos dos espaços protegidos urbanos. Portanto, esta pesquisa tem o propósito de avaliar a gestão da conservação dos espaços protegidos urbanos e os reflexos na consolidação dos objetivos de implantação desses ambientes no município de Manaus. Considerando que os registros até hoje sobre esta temática, foram direcionados para o âmbito federal e estadual. A metodologia seguiu os princípios da pesquisa aplicada e exploratória, juntamente com o método de abordagem teórica dos resultados desenvolvido por Faria (2004). As unidades amostrais selecionadas foram: Parque Municipal do Mindu, Parque dos Bilhares, Parque Lagoa do Japiim, Jardim Botânico de Manaus Adolpho Ducke e Refúgio da Vida Silvestre Sauim-Castanheiras. Os resultados alcançados evidenciaram diversos pontos críticos de gestão das áreas analisadas, corroborando com o pressuposto básico do estudo, que no interior do ambiente organizacional, reside a necessidade de ações coletivas coordenadas para sanar as lacunas de uma série de quesitos gerenciais que fragilizam o sistema municipal de áreas protegidas.

European floodplain grasslands are characterized by periodic flooding and regular management, usually cutting and grazing as part of an agricultural system. Past losses and ecological degradation have been due largely to river regulation and either agricultural intensification or abandonment and have resulted in a substantial reduction in area across Europe. Nevertheless, the remaining resource supports considerable biodiversity and a high level of biological production. A better quantitative understanding of the functioning of these grasslands is required in order to establish effective conservation management within a sustainable land use system. The thesis examines the impact of key management factors on three important functional characteristics of the biodiversity of floodplain plant communities, namely plant diversity (measured by species diversity), cover (%) and primary production (above-ground biomass), on two floodplain grasslands of the River Trent, UK and a third on the the Luznice river, the Czech Republic. Field investigations of the effects of cutting, grazing, cessation of management, the influence of floodborne litter, and the impact of fertilizer nitrogen were undertaken over periods of between one and three seasons. These demonstrated that floodplain grassland plant communities are sensitive to variations in management and that impacts on communities are mediated particularly through effects on plant competition. Productive competitive species were encouraged both by abandonment and fertilizer application whereas cutting and grazing management, and the imposition of litter, favoured stress-tolerating perennials. Species diversity decreased both with high inputs of litter and additions of fertilizer. Plant community responses and competitive strategies of key species are discussed in the context of biodiversity conservation, ecological restoration and management of European floodplain grasslands.
