Forests are essential components for regulating the hydrological cycle and recent efforts have been made to restore ecosystems altered by human activities, such as the Atlantic Forest, in an attempt to recover their ecohydrological processes and functions. In the riparian zone, the forest role is especially important for the structure and functioning of headwater streams. In this project,…
After centuries of deforestation and degradation of Atlantic Forest in Brazil, natural and social systems have become increasingly threatened by the loss of natural forests and the critical ecosystem services they provide, especially in light of climate change. Forest restoration has a great potential to solve the water-related challenges, but evidence-based information on the recovery of…
Pressure on forest ecosystems tends to increase due to socioeconomic factors and demographic trends. A growing population demands that more products be extracted from forest ecosystems. Consumption and its interaction with the drivers of global change will affect the sustainability of the supply of a wider range of ecosystem services such as protection from forest fires, water, and biodiv…

Vegetal cover interferes on hydrological processes of a watershed according to its structure, influencing the quantity and distribution of rainfall water. Forest, by its structure of canopy and root system, represents the highest potential of processes alteration, being recognized as a main hydrological processes controller, including the reduction of water yield due to its high evapotran…
This study is used the hydrological model of Fu (1981) based on the hypothesis Budyko (Budyko, 1948, 1974) relating to climate change and the impact on the streams flow from multiple locations in southeastern Brazil. The hypothesis is that this model can be validated with local data of southeastern Brazil, enabling the identification of critical factors to the stability of the water produ…
Forests have a large influence on the hydrological processes and they are the most important biotic component in the landscape for the conservation of hydrological processes. To describe the role of forests in the hydrological processes, it is necessary to understand the specific functions that it can offer, which encompass a set of environmental services. The riparian forest exerts an im…

The main objective of this project is to model decision support systems capable of dealing with the interaction between forests and hydrological processes under the impacts of climate and land-use change, mainly in the State of São Paulo, Brazil. (AU)
Interactions among forests, water, and energy guarantee ecological functions such as carbon stock, climate regulation, and water resources distribution. Rather than the carbon stock function, hydrological effects related to forest cover changes are currently identified as more important to mitigate the climate and land use cover change effects. This work will analyze the deforestation inf…

Road construction threatens the Amazon by driving deforestation and causing the fragmentation of remaining forests. The effects of this dynamic on the landscape structure result in several impacts on ecosystems. However, the consequences for the watercourses of the largest hydrographic basin on the planet are still uncertain, but highly relevant. The interaction of rural and forest roads …
The loss of native vegetation in the last 30 years causes considerable damage to the provision of ecosystem services. Which concerns to hydrological services the offer is directly related to the conservation of soil and vegetation. Hydrological services can be classified as provisioning, regulating, cultural or support services and may vary with topographical gradient, vegetation composit…

Road construction threatens the Amazon by driving deforestation and fragmentation of the remaining forests. However, the consequences for freshwater ecosystems from the planet's largest river basin are still poorly known. The interaction of rural and forest roads with streams causes local alterations both inside the watercourse and outside, in the riparian zone. However, the cumulative im…
Tropical streams have great importance due to their biodiversity, provision of essential ecosystem services for humans, but also because they are considered one of the ecosystems most threatened by changes in land use and climate. The riparian forest is an important component for the dynamics and functioning of streams, and helps to maintain their ecosystem processes, controlling the inpu…
In just over 30 years, Brazil lost around 87 million hectares of forests and other natural vegetation. The loss of native vegetation damage the provision of ecosystem services, such as the provision of hydrological environmental services, which is directly related to the conservation of soils and vegetation. The offer of a hydrological service is related to the biophysical characteristics…
Deforestation of native vegetation and inadequate soil use damage the ecosystem, increase soil erosion, and cause silting of rivers. Based on this, interventions for forest restoration can conserve soils and provide ecosystem services. Although the beneficial effect of tree vegetation around water resources is known, little is known about the effect of forest restoration on water regime a…
