Abstract
A method for the identification, mapping and evaluation of integrated environmental units is described. This method is applied to the assessment and zoning of a biosphere reserve, in order to establish guidelines for the distribution of conservation and management actions. The method, based on the definition of units according to observable features, enables the diagnosis of qualities of interest for planning and management, with results that can be reproduced by different operators, if certain initial criteria are accepted. Using these criteria, initial descriptive maps can be transformed into prescriptive maps which provide the basis for management decisions.
