Abstract

Superagüi Island is part of Superagüi National Park, which limits preserve one of the most important remaindering areas of Brazilian Atlantic Forest. Superagui is considered an artificial island, as it was separated from mainland in 1952 by Varadouro Canal opening. Preservation of Superagüi is unquestionable as endangered species have this island as their habitat, such as black-faced lion tamarin (Leontopithecus caissara) and Chauá parrot (Amazona brasiliensis). In order to work the park running plan up, this work intended to map and clear up Superaguis vegetation aspects applying land studies associated to geo-processing techniques. As result a vegetation map was elaborated, it contemplates 11 typologies and disposes general descriptions for each one, even most frequent or important arboreal species for classification knowledge.
