An adequate fire regime for the management of natural resources is a key factor for environmental conservation in traditional and indigenous communities, especially when it involves species of great nutritional, cultural or economic importance. Caryocar brasiliense Cambess. (pequizeiro) is considered one of the most important species in Brazilian savannas (Cerrado biome). Its fruits are widely consumed by the population and generate one of the most important economic chains of native fruits in Brazil. Recently, federal environmental agencies have implemented integrated fire management in many protected areas in this biome. As a result, the predominant fire regime, exclusion of fire interspersed with large wildfires, was replaced by prescribed burning. The objective of this work was to verify the effects of these changes at the landscape scale, through the assessment of damage and fruiting in adult C. brasiliense trees. The methodology involved data collection by local indigenous brigade members and statistical analysis using the Tukey Test (p <0.05). The results demonstrate that trees managed with prescribed burning had the lowest damage rates (mortality, severity and loss of reproductive structures), accompanied by the highest reproduction and fruit production rates. Trees affected by wildfires showed the highest rates of damage and prolonged fire exclusion led to reduced reproduction rates and fruit production. The results indicate that prescribed burning is the best fire management alternative in areas where C. brasiliense occurs.
