Alterations in land uses based on amendments to the Brazilian Forest Law and their influences on water quality of a watershed

Abstract: The amendments to the Forest Law proposed by the Brazilian government that allow partial substitution of forested areas by agricultural activities raised deep concern about the integrity of aquatic ecosystems. To assess the impacts of this alteration in land uses on the watershed, diffuse loads of total nitrogen (N t ) and total phosphorus (P t ) were estimated in Lobo Stream watershed, southeastern Brazil, based on export coefficients of the Model of Correlation between Land Use and Water Quality (MQUAL).

“…It can be observed in Figures 2 to 5 that riparian forests in Jacaré-Guaçu and Jacaré-Pepira Watersheds are in inadequate size to guarantee quality and quantity of water for the municipalities' population. Rodrigues-Filho et al (2015) reported that riparian forests widths in Lobo Watershed (a subbasin of Jacaré-Guaçu Watershed) are in reduced size and additional losses in riparian areas would compromise ecosystem services and the quality of waterbodies, which were already classified as mesotrophic by Lamparelli (2004). Matheus and Tundisi (1988) found that riparian vegetation density directly influences chemical parameters of waterbodies in Itaqueri and Lobo Watersheds (inside Jacaré-Guaçu Watershed).…”

“…The riparian forest forms a mosaic of vegetation that retains high nitrogen and phosphorus concentration, allowing fast biochemical cycling and minimizing the transport to aquatic systems. The driving of those nutrients to rivers can lead to the acceleration of the eutrophication process of aquatic ecosystems (RODRIGUES FILHO et al, 2015). The increase of organic matter promoted from primary productivity growth results in high rates of decomposition, in some cases promoting anoxic conditions, with the escalation of fish and invertebrate mortality.…”

“…Visando avaliar possíveis alterações resultantes no uso da terra propostas pelo atual Código Florestal, Rodrigues Filho et al (2015) estimaram as cargas difusas de nitrogênio total e fósforo total na bacia hidrográfi ca do ribeirão do Lobo, localizada na região central do estado de São Paulo, para diferentes cenários de Áreas de Proteção Permanente na bacia, com base em coefi cientes de exportação do Modelo de Correlação entre Uso do Solo e Qualidade da Água (MQUAL) (SÃO PAULO. SMA, 2003).…”
