Abstract

Given the increasing visitation to the Conservation Unit and the possible transformation of its biophysical environment, the present work consists of evaluating the negative impact of public use in the Noroeste-Abrolhos trail in the Pico do Marumbi State Park. This was carried out by evaluating indicators of the biophysical environment such as compaction of the soil, erosion, exposed soil, formation of degrees, declivity and vegetation cover. The use of these indicators follows the modified approach based on Takahashi (1998) and Magro (1999), which made it possible to verify the characteristics of the main problems in this trail. Key-words: Conservation unit. Public use. Negative impacts. Trail.
