M.L Porto et al. 2010. Naturalness <strong>and</strong> diversity of biotopes: their impact on l<strong>and</strong>scape quality 525 iv<br />

of diversity, in our model. As a matter of fact our data revealed specific areas which originally<br />

were areas of native forest but now after reforestation represented Eucalyptus monocultures. In<br />

addition undergrowth had developed which showed a high degree of species diversity. For sure<br />

these areas show high diversity but are of low environmental value.<br />
