Abstract

The study takes an approach to the Cerrado, in order to understand the effects of fire in this biome. In this way, we seek to analyze the causes, types, practice of burning and fires, in order to understand the occurrence of these factors in the municipality of Goiás. Cerrado has been suffering every year in the dry season, changes in its landscape due to the occurrence of fire action. Fire is an element present in the Cerrado Biome, being one of the determinants in the characterization of its flora. Fire management techniques and compensatory measures can contribute to the conservation of this biome. Thus, it becomes necessary to plan actions that avoid, or even minimize, the damage caused by fire. This can be done through prevention initiatives, such as the construction of firebreaks, controlled burning, with emphasis on environmental education that offers the lowest cost with long-term benefits.
