SUMMARY:

The Brazilian Cerrado is a vegetation whose distribution is determined by the interaction of various factors. The soil plays an important role in the dynamics of this domain, influenced by fertility and drainage. Additionally, human factors such as agricultural production and livestock, along with altitude and slope of the terrain, and biological invasions, mainly of exotic grasses, play a fundamental role. Fire is also essential in Cerrado dynamics, as many species depend on and are adapted to it. In this context, this study utilized geoprocessing and remote sensing tools to identify the main determinant variables that influence the dynamics of Cerrado vegetation sensu stricto in the Serra de São José, an important conservation area in the region due to the presence of two conservation units. The study revealed how the Serra has faced highly severe fires in the past twenty-two years, albeit with low frequency. It also demonstrates how the interaction of these fires with other determinant factors has been acting together to influence the dynamics of the communities of this phytogeographic formation present in the region.
