Pesquisa do estado de Minas Gerais (FAPEMIG) / As turfeiras s?o ambientes de transi??o entre os ecossistemas terrestres e aqu?ticos, formados pela acumula??o sequencial de mat?ria org?nica. Extremamente sens?veis as mudan?as nos padr?es de precipita??o e temperatura, as turfeiras s?o consideradas verdadeiros arquivos da evolu??o do ambiente ao seu redor. Nas depress?es das ?reas dissecadas da Serra do Espinha?o Meridional, Minas Gerais, ocorrem ambientes propicios para forma??o de turfeiras. Dentre elas encontra-se a turfeira do Rio Preto (18?14'5,25"S e 43?19'7,24" WGS, 1.593 m.s.m) inserida no Parque Estadual do Rio Preto. A turfeira do Rio Preto ? colonizada por diferentes fisionomias do Bioma Cerrado principalmente o Campo ?mido e Campo Rupestre, sendo encontrados ainda redutos de Floresta Estacional Semidecidual (Cap?es de Mata). O objetivo deste trabalho foi reconstituir as mudan?as paleoambientais ocorridas desde o final do Pleistoceno Tardio. Para isto foi utilizada uma abordagem multi-proxy, consistindo em estratigrafia do perfil do solo da turfeira, an?lises palinol?gicas, de is?topos est?veis (13C e 15N), de composi??o geoqu?mica e data??es radiocarb?nicas. A idade mais antiga, obtida da base do testemunho, foi de 23.037 anos cal. AP, indicando que a forma??o da turfeira se deu a partir do Pleistoceno Tardio. A partir da an?lise conjunta dos proxys foi poss?vel inferir cinco principais fases de mudan?as paleoambientais: RP-I, entre ~ 23.037 e 13.500 anos cal. AP, clima bastante ?mido e frio, possibilitando a presen?a de indicadores de Floresta Montana e o empobrecimento do sinal isot?pico. Este foi um per?odo de bastante instabilidade na bacia hidrogr?fica da turfeira, inferida pelo alto teor de Si, indicador de sinal de material mineral local; RP-II, entre ~13.500 e 11.700 anos cal. AP, ligeiro aumento da temperatura e queda na umidade levando a redu??o de indicadores de clima frio e a expans?o da vegeta??o campestre. No entanto as condi??es ainda eram mais ?midas e frias que as atuais, e a ind?cios de diminui??o do sinal de material mineral local; RP-III, entre ~11.700 e 8.500 anos cal. AP, tend?ncia de aumento da temperatura e diminui??o da umidade em conjunto com a mudan?a da vegeta??o de plantas C3 para C4, causando a forte retra??o das Floresta Estacional Semidecidual e Floresta Montana, em conjunto aumento do fluxo de sinal de material mineral local; RP-IV, entre ~8.500 e 7.000 anos cal. AP, condi??es de clima ainda mais seco e quente, causando o desaparecimento dos indicadores de clima frio, retra??o do Campo ?mido e expans?o do Campo Rupestre. Per?odo de bastante estabilidade da bacia hidrogr?fica da turfeira, sugerido pelo baixo conte?do de material mineral; RP-V, de 7.000 anos cal. AP at? o presente, clima era novamente mais ?mido e temperaturas mais amenas, semelhante ?s condi??es atuais, aumento na acumula??o de turfa, possibilitando o reaparecimento dos indicadores de Floresta Montana e Floresta Estacional Semidecidual junto com a retra??o do Campo, e diminui??o da entrada de material mineral. Flutua??es no clima influenciaram fortemente as mudan?as na paleovegeta??o e na estrutura sedimentar do registro da turfeira do Rio Preto. Devido ? import?ncia das turfeiras, n?o s? como arquivo de mudan?as paleoambientais, mas tamb?m pelos seus servi?os ambientais (armazenamento de ?gua e de carbono), estes ambientes precisam ser melhores protegidos. / Disserta??o (Mestrado) ?

Extremely sensitive to changes in precipitation and temperature patterns, peatlands are real archives of the evolution of the environment around them. In Serra do Espinha?o Meridional, Minas Gerais State, Brazil, in depressions of the dissected areas occurs an environment conducive to formation of peatlands. Among them the peatland of Rio Preto (18?14'5,25"S e 43?19'7,24" WGS, 1.593 m.s.m), located in the Rio Preto State Park. The area is colonized by different vegetation physiognomy of the Cerrado Biome, mainly Rupestre Fields and Wet Fields, beyond of redoubts of Semidecidual Stationary Forests, called Capon Forests. The area is colonized by different vegetation physiognomy of the Cerrado Biome, mainly Rupestre Fields and Wet Fields, beyond of redoubts of Semidecidual Stationary Forests, called Capon Forests. The objective of this work was to reconstruct the paleoenvironmental changes that have occurred since the Late Pleistocene. The work was constituted by the application of a multi-proxy approach, such as peatland soil stratigraphy, palynological analyzes, stable isotopes (13C and 15N), geochemical composition analyzes and 14C dating. The oldest age obtained at the base of the peatland profile was 23.037 cal. years BP, indicating that the formation of the peatland occurred during the Late Pleistocene. In this study it was possible to infer five main stages of paleoenvironmental changes: RP-I ~23.000-13.500 cal. years BP, very cold climate and very humid, presence of Montana Forest indicators and impoverishment of the isotopic signal, period of instability in hydrographic basin of the peatland; RP-II ~13.500-11.700 cal. years BP, small increase in temperature and decreased humidity, reduction of the indicators of cold climate and the expansion of the field vegetation, however the climatic conditions were more humid and cooler than the current, decrease of the entrance of local mineral material; RP-III ~11.700-8.500 cal. years BP, trend of increased temperature and decreased humidity, change in vegetation from C3 to C4 plants, reduction of the Semideciduous Seasonal Forest and Mountain Forests, increased flow of local mineral material; RP-IV ~8.500-7.000 cal. years BP, drier and hotter weather, causing the disappearance of the indicators of cold weather, retraction of the Wet Field and expansion of Rupestre Field. Period of very stability in the watershed of the peatland; RP-V 7.000 cal. years BP until present, increased humidity and decrease in temperature, as current conditions, increased accumulation of peat, reappearance of the indicators of Montana Forest and Seasonal Semideciduous Forest and retraction of the Field, decrease of regional and local dust. Fluctuations in the climate influenced changes in paleovegetation and the sedimentary structure of the peatland Rio Preto. Given the value of peatlands as archives of paleoenvironmental changes and their environmental functions, these environments need to be better protected.
