The present study deals with the inter-relations in the relief which forms the Bacia do Alto Rio Paraguay (BAP) in mid-west Brazil. The overall aim is to discuss the relationship between relief forms and the biodiversity of the Pantanal. The BAP is a natural environmental system with contrasts in two of the compartments on which it is formed: the plateau, the most elevated compartment, highly transformed by human activities, and the plain which forms the Pantanal, which is more preserved and less transformed in relation to productive activities. The analysis was performed based on publications with a geomorphologic focus, examining the different relief units of the BAP and the dynamics of the revealing processes of landscape change which the Pantanal has undergone since the end of the Pleistocene.
本研究探讨了巴西中西部形成上巴拉那河盆地（BAP）的地貌之间的相互关系。总体目标是讨论地貌形态与潘塔纳尔湿地生物多样性之间的关系。BAP是一个自然环境系统，其形成的两个区域存在差异：高原是海拔最高的区域，受人类活动影响很大；平原形成了潘塔纳尔湿地，相对于生产活动而言，该区域保存得更好，受改造程度更低。分析是基于以地貌学为重点的出版物进行的，研究了BAP的不同地貌单元以及潘塔纳尔湿地自更新世末期以来所经历的景观变化揭示过程的动态。
