ABSTRACT
The objective of this study was to identify, characterize and map an area for its different types
of direct and indirect use of native vegetation of sandy coastal plains (Restinga) at “Praia das
Neves”, a district of the municipality of Presidente Kennedy, state of Espírito Santo, Brazil.
Data were collected on site using an orthophotomosaic provided by the State Environmental
Institute (IEMA) on a 1:35,000 scale, where plant formations of sandy coastal plains were
identified and mapped. Six phytophysiognomies were categorized by the following surveying:
Halophyte/Creeping-Psamophyte, Open Scrub Palm, Low Closed Thicket, Open Scrub,
Non-Flooded Forest and Herbaceous Swamp. Vegetation portions were fragmented due to use
for real estate dynamics and cattle raising activity. Among the most prominent and supplied
goods are wood exploitation, vegetable products for food and fresh water supply. Furthermore,
the services identified are water resource maintenance and ecological functions provided by
sandy coastal plain phytophysiognomies.
Keywords: phytophysiognomies, remote sensing, restinga, direct and indirect uses.
