Background and aims: The processes of change of land use have had a very profound impact on the ecological patterns and processes of landscapes in recent times, owing to that, this study aims to characterize the vegetation patches associated with the middle basin of the Río Cuarto and to determine its conservation status in order to delineate management strategies that allow planners to choose the best alternative for urban development.M&M: Vegetation censuses were carried out in the different environments. The environmental units were digitized and an Integral Environmental Evaluation Index included in a Geographic Information System platform was applied to the define the conservation value.Results: Seven vegetation units belonging to the biogeographic district of Espinal were delimited and 340 remnants of natural vegetation were digitized. According to the Integral Environmental Evaluation Index, more than 50% of the UA are in bad status of conservation, where the patches with regular and good status presented a high value of ecological functionality within the basin. By other hand, less than 1% of the environmental units are in very good status of conservation. Conclusions: These results allowed us to generate management recommendations in order to promote its preservation and improvement of its environmental health. These recommendations could be included in the territorial planning of the cities associated to the studied basin. |

Introducción y objetivos: Los procesos de cambio de uso de la tierra han tenido un impacto muy profundo en los patrones y procesos ecológicos de los paisajes en los últimos tiempos, por lo que éste trabajo tiene por objetivos caracterizar los parches de vegetación asociados a la cuenca media del río Cuarto y determinar su estado de conservación con el fin de delinear estrategias de manejo que permitan a los planificadores optar por la mejor alternativa para el desarrollo urbano.M&M: Se realizaron censos de vegetación en los diferentes ambientes y se digitalizaron las unidades ambientales; luego se les calculó el Índice Integral de Evaluación Ambiental, incluido en una plataforma de Sistema de Información Geográfica, para definir el valor de conservación. Resultados: Se definieron siete unidades de vegetación pertenecientes al distrito biogeográfico Espinal y se digitalizaron 340 parches. El índice integral de evaluación ambiental arrojó que más del 50% de las Unidades Ambientales se encontraron en mal estado de conservación, donde los parches regulares y buenos presentaron un alto valor de funcionalidad ecológica dentro de la cuenca. Por otro lado, menos del 1% de la unidades ambientales entraron en la categoría de muy buen estado de conservación.Conclusiones: Estos resultados permitieron generar una serie de recomendaciones de manejo tendientes a su preservación y mejoramiento de su salud ambiental que pueden ser incluidas en el ordenamiento territorial de las ciudades asociadas a la cuenca en estudio.
