| Sumario: | The analysis of the natural components in an integrated way is fundamental for the understanding of the structure and dynamics of landscapes, together with the action of man on them. Thus, the present research aimed to perform the geoenvironmental compartmentalization of the Martins-Portalegre Serrano Complex, from a systemic analysis. As theoretical and methodological basis, it was anchored in authors such as Bertrand (1968; 2007), Souza (2000; 2007) and Cavalcanti (2014). The cartographic materials were produced in QGIS A Coruña version 3.10.5 software, at scale 1:200,000. The field research occurred based on the methodology of Cavalcanti (2014), using free walking considering the landscape variability of the area, being collected 98 points. Subsequent to the field work, the collected data were systematized and, consequently, the geoenvironmental compartmentalization was performed. The geocomplex of Bertrand (1968; 2007) was adopted as a taxonomic unit, using the relief as the main criterion for the delimitation of homogeneous units. Eight (8) geocomplexes were identified, which contribute to the understanding of the Martins-Portalegre Complex in an integrated way. It is an area marked, above all, by enclave characteristics within the semi-arid context, being considered of extremely high biological importance and high conservation priority, being characterized as an important database and fundamental instrument for planning and management of the territory. |
