Portuguese term or phrase: próximas, justapostas ou sobrepostas
Bom dia! Minha dúvida aqui é com os termos "justapostas e sobrepostas". Um deles seria "overlapping" (sobrepostas) mas o que seria justapostas?

Obrigada!



Como uma destas estratégias de conservação, a Lei do Sistema Nacional de Unidades de Conservação (SNUC) introduziu a figura dos mosaicos de áreas protegidas. Os mosaicos são um conjunto de unidades de conservação **próximas, justapostas ou sobrepostas**, onde a gestão do conjunto deverá ser feita de forma integrada e participativa. Para isso, são levados em consideração os distintos objetivos de conservação, de forma a compatibilizar a presença da biodiversidade, a valorização da diversidade social e o desenvolvimento sustentável no contexto regional.

Thanks Gilla!

agree  kashew: nearby and adjacent are not very different: I suppose adjacent is actually touching? And neighbouring? Maybe there's some refining to do? ATB.

  -> thanks, John! I think nearby means in close proximity, and adjacent means they are contiguous, at least that's how I understood it.
