Effects of human activities on rivers located in protected areas of the Atlantic Forest

Abstract: Aim:This study evaluated the impacts of anthropogenic activities upstream of conservation areas on the Paraibuna river and its implications for freshwater biodiversity. Methods: The study was carried out in two units, Cunha and Santa Virginia, of the Serra do Mar State Park (SP), located in the Atlantic Rain Forest. Five sampling sites were defined, four along the Paraibuna river and one in the Ipiranga river, the latter fully inserted into the protected area. Physical, chemical, microbiological and ecotoxicol… Show more

“…Blavet et al (2009) found only positive trends between runoff and turbidity parameters. Kuhlmann et al (2014) found that the Ipiranga River, although fully inserted in a protected area, shows a strong correlation between rainfall and runoff, similar to the Concordia river, which also includes forest areas.…”

“…Isto deve ser assegurado por órgãos gestores responsáveis por este trabalho. Com a adoção de novas técnicas de manejo do uso da terra e melhores precauções diante dos indicadores ecológicos ativos da qualidade dos mananciais, a contaminação das águas poderá ser atenuada (Kuhlmann et al, 2014).…”

“…Os ambientes lênticos são mais vulneráveis a problemas de poluição da água devido à baixa capacidade de dispersão dos poluentes e à dificuldade de autopurificação (RAI, 2010). Geralmente as águas apresentam baixas concentrações de metais pesados, pois estes podem ser adsorvidos pela matéria orgânica em suspensão e por plantas aquáti-cas ou depositados no fundo nos sedimentos (SILVA, 2008;CUI et al, 2011;BARBOSA et al, 2012;KUHLMANN et al, 2014).…”
