Historical land-cover/use in different slope and riparian buffer zones in watersheds of the State of São Paulo, Brazil
(2007-07-01)
Information about the land cover of a region it is a key information for several purposes. This paper aimed to elaborate land-cover maps using digital satellite images obtained in 1997 from seven watersheds (Piracicaba, ...
Land-cover change dynamics and insights into ecosystem services in European stream riparian zones
Riparian zones, transitional environments between terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems, have been historically threatened in Europe by land reclamation and exploitation of their natural resources. These fragile environments ...
Influence of environmental features at multiple scales and spatial structure on stream fish communities in a tropical agricultural region
(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2017-01-01)
Land cover change for agricultural expansion exerts strong pressures on tropical streams. We examined the relative contributions of catchment land cover, local environmental features, and spatial patterns on stream fish ...
Permeability of riparian forest strips in agricultural, small subtropical watersheds in south-eastern Brazil
(CSIRO PUBLISHINGCOLLINGWOOD, 2012)
If riparian buffer zones are ineffective in preventing C-4 plant carbon from upland areas reaching the stream sediment, the composition of stream fauna can be significantly altered. The permeability of riparian forest ...
Effects of land use on environmental conditions and macrophytes in prairie lotic ecosystems
(Elsevier Gmbh, 2012-07)
Fluvial hydrosystems are environments with large landscape to water surface ratio and therefore particularly vulnerable to changes in land use. We analysed the connection of environmental conditions in 31 prairie streams ...
Rural property size drives patterns of upland and riparian forest retention in a tropical deforestation frontier
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2010)
Deforestation in Brazilian Amazonia accounts for a disproportionate global scale fraction of both carbon emissions from biomass burning and biodiversity erosion through habitat loss. Here we use field- and remote-sensing ...

Efeitos de florestas ripárias em restauração em ecossistemas de riachos tropicais numa paisagem agrícola
(Universidade Federal de São CarlosUFSCarPrograma de Pós-Graduação em Ciências Ambientais - PPGCAmCâmpus São Carlos, 2017-02-15)
The conversion of natural areas to human activities in watersheds is the main cause of riparian forest degradation, which, consequently, decreases the integrity of aquatic ecosystems. Therefore, restoration of riparian ...
Historical land-cover/use in different slope and riparian buffer zones in watersheds of the state of São Paulo, Brazil
(Universidade de São Paulo (USP), Escola Superior de Agricultura Luiz de Queiroz (ESALQ), 2007-08-01)
Informações sobre mudanças no uso e cobertura do solo são fundamentais para vários propósitos sociais, econômicos e ambientais. O principal objetivo deste estudo foi elaborar mapas de cobertura do solo usando imagens ...
