“…Furthermore, the methodology is flexible and can be replicated in any rural region, allowing for landscape composition and configuration adjustments. The advantage of this approach lies in its ability to quantify the impacts of planned land use scenarios, in contrast to methods solely based on multicriteria analysis, as demonstrated by Valente et al [30] and Anjinho et al [33].…”

“…Environmental zoning aiming to increase the provision of WESs was developed through spatial analysis between potential levels of WES degradation and LULC in 2019, following a similar approach to the study by Anjinho et al [33]. To determine the potential levels of WES degradation, annual data for QF, annual exports of TN and TP, and sediments simulated for the year 2019 were considered.…”

“…The results of this study indicate that land use planning can be an effective strategy to increase the provision of water ecosystem services. Our methodological approach comple-ments classical techniques based on multicriteria analysis [30,32,33], allowing for the zoning of the watershed and the quantification of the effects of alternative land use scenarios.…”

“…One way to identify priority areas for restoration is through effective environmental zoning methods that consider the characteristics and potential of the territory [32]. Environmental zoning is a LULC planning tool that aims to promote sustainable territorial management, taking into account environmental and socioeconomic criteria [33]. It can be applied at various territorial scales, including countries, states, municipalities, and watersheds.…”

“…Valente et al [30] developed a decision support model based on multicriteria analysis to identify priority zones for forest restoration in the context of WESs, adopting five criteria that experts analyzed through participatory techniques. Anjinho et al [33] used multicriteria analysis and on-site assessment to develop an environmental zoning methodology to increase the provision of WESs. Other studies have used biophysical models of ecosystem services, coupled with spatial analysis tools, to identify priority areas for ecological conservation and restoration [31,[37][38][39].…”

Land use and land cover (LULC) changes alter the structure and functioning of natural ecosystems, impacting the potential and flow of ecosystem services. Ecological restoration projects aiming to enhance native vegetation have proven effective in mitigating the impacts of LULC changes on ecosystem services. A key element in implementing these projects has been identifying priority areas for restoration, considering that resources allocated to such projects are often limited. This study proposes a novel methodological framework to identify priority areas for restoration and guide LULC planning to increase the provision of water ecosystem services (WESs) in a watershed in southeastern Brazil. To do so, we combined biophysical models and multicriteria analysis to identify priority areas for ecological restoration, propose environmental zoning for the study area, and quantify the effects of LULC changes and of a planned LULC scenario (implemented environmental zoning) on WES indicators. Previous LULC changes, from 1985 to 2019, have resulted in a nearly 20% increase in annual surface runoff, a 50% increase in sediment export, a 22% increase in total nitrogen (TN) export, and a 53% increase in total phosphorus (TP) export. Simultaneously, they reduced the provision of WESs (baseflow −27%, TN retention −10%, and TP retention −16%), except for sediment retention, which increased by 35% during the analyzed period. The planned LULC scenario successfully increased the provision of WESs while reducing surface runoff and nutrient and sediment exports. The methodology employed in this study proved to be effective in guiding LULC planning for improving WES. The obtained results provide a scientific foundation for guiding the implementation of WES conservation policies in the studied watershed. This method is perceived to be applicable to other watersheds.

El servicio ecosistémico (SE) de regulación de inundaciones es un beneficio que se obtiene de la capacidad de los ecosistemas para retener agua y disminuir la velocidad de las corrientes que se forman durante y después de un evento de precipitación. Este servicio se puede evaluar desde los puntos de vista biofísico y económico. En ambos casos, la valoración busca dimensionar el impacto de las inundaciones en términos físicos y monetarios sobre el bienestar de la sociedad. En ese sentido, el presente trabajo evaluó este SE bajo dos escenarios de precipitación (máxima registrada en un día con y sin evento hidrometeorológico extremo) sobre el sector agrícola para dos cuencas en México. En Ameca-Mascota, se inundarían entre 231 y 557 km2, lo cual afectaría entre 120 y 332 km2 de cultivos. En Jamapa, se inundarían entre 926 y 1,370 km2, esto afectaría entre 481 y 548 km² de cultivos y pastizales. En términos económicos, las inundaciones originarían pérdidas anuales en la producción entre USD$ 8.3 millones y USD$ 67 millones, y entre USD$ 11 millones y USD$ 88 para dichas cuencas, respectivamente. Los resultados de este tipo de estudios, tanto biofísicos como económicos, son un insumo valioso para fortalecer el manejo de las cuencas mediante la implementación de acciones de conservación y usos sostenibles de los servicios ecosistémicos.
