Riparian forest, erosion, watershed, hydropower, sedimentationAbstract
In this study the regulation service was evaluated provided by the maintenance of the riparian zone for the conservation of water courses in the hydrographic basin of a hydroelectric project. This study aims to identify the variables that contribute the most to the ecosystem service of erosion and siltation control in the hydrographic basin of the Nova Ponte Hydroelectric Power Plant (NPHP), Araguari river basin, MG. Were analyzed types of land use and occupation as well a physical habitat metrics in years of regular average rainfall and one with rainfall. Among these variables, presence of native vegetation at riparian zone and flow characteristics were the most important related to the ecosystem service of erosion and sedimentation control in the two sample periods (2009 and 2013). The results obtained corroborate the importance of the conservation of the riparian zone of headwaters for maintenance of the ecosystem service of erosion and sedimentation control, besides contributing to the maintenance of the water cycle and recharge of aquifers and consequent maintenance of water levels in hydroelectric reservoirs.
