Abstract

The study of landscape transformation has focused the human activities on ecosystems performed by the so called traditional populations and its influence on contemporary ecologic and biogeographyc patterns. There is a long history of transformation of their environmental conditions done by these populations, whose history is little known. Most of the information that is available about these populations is included in the ecosystem, which can be obtained by both archaeological and the study of structure and composition of the forest. Thus, the Atlantic Forest, as is known today may be interpreted as a historical document that describes and shows the result of the interaction of humans with the ecosystem in many of its attributes.
