The training provides hydroelectric reservoirs in fragmented landscapes, with the creation of artificial islands (fragments), which have the peculiarity of being surrounded by an array tougher for most species, different fragments of land, having a direct effect on reducing biodiversity. This study aimed to evaluate the insular landscape of Lake Tucuruí, by quantifying landscape structure, as a basis for conservation implications. Concomitantly, we assessed the effects of fragmentation on the island tree community, through the structure of the landscape and edge effects, both have been one of the most ecological processes impacting on biodiversity in fragmented landscapes. The results indicated the spatial arrangement may be an approach used for conservation mechanisms in dams, but should consider specific aspects of the islands. In turn, the vegetation is still not responding to the current landscape structure, being in a phase of extinction debt, and the edge effect the main factor for the formation of plant communities.porAcesso AbertoEcologia da paisagemConservaçãoFragmentação de habitatEfeito de bordaBiodiversidadeIlhas artificiaisLago de Tucuruí - PATucuruí - PAPará - EstadoAmazônia brasileiraDissertaçãoCNPQ::CIENCIAS AGRARIAS::RECURSOS FLORESTAIS E ENGENHARIA FLORESTAL::CONSERVACAO DA NATUREZA
