“…The integration of structure and function in the planning of future Amazonian reservoirs is essential for the maintenance of the ecological dynamics of the region (Jorgensen, 1992). Engineering procedures, ecohydrological principles and limnological approaches are not incompatible (Zalewski, 2010(Zalewski, , 2014.…”

“…But it is certain that interactions between species and the physical and chemical environment result in biological resources (goods) or ecosystem services for human welfare. The value of biodiversity can be mapped using species' richness (Williams et al, 1997), but quantifying it in terms of monetary value must require a more elaborate analysis maybe through a biophysical approach (Jörgensen, 1992;Green et.al, 1994). High qualitative ecological and social values were given for the "maintenance of biological diversity" service.…”

The aim of this study was to identify and make an initial accounting of the ecosystem services of the hydroelectric power generation plant, UHE Carlos Botelho (Itirapina Municipality, São Paulo State, Brazil), and its most extensive wetlands -total of 2,640 ha -and also identify the drivers of change of these services. Twenty (20) ecosystem services were identified and the estimated quantitative total value obtained was USD 120,445,657.87. year -1 or USD 45,623.35 ha -1 .year -1 . Investments on restoration of spatial heterogeneity along Tietê-Jacaré hydrographic basin and new technologies for regional economic activities must maintain ecological functions as well as increase marginal values of ecosystem services and the potential annual economic return of ecological functions.Keywords: neotropical reservoirs, ecosystem services, hydrographic basin management, cost-benefit analysis, wetlands, drivers. Serviços ecossistêmicos do reservatório da UHE Carlos Botelho (Lobo-Broa): uma nova abordagem para o gerenciamento e planejamento dos múltiplos usos de represas ResumoEste estudo teve como objetivo identificar e valorar os serviços ecossistêmicos da UHE Carlos Botelho (Itirapina, Estado de São Paulo, Brasil) e suas áreas alagadas mais extensas e também identificar as forçantes de alterações nestes serviços. Vinte (20) serviços ecossistêmicos foram identificados e o valor quantitativo total estimado obtido resultou em USD 120.445.657,87. ano -1 ou USD 45.623,35 ha -1 .ano -1 . Investimentos na restauração da heterogeneidade espacial da bacia hidrográfica do Tietê-Jacaré e em novas tecnologias para as atividades econômicas regionais devem contribuir para a manutenção das funções ecológicas e para o aumento dos valores marginais e do valor potencial anual de retorno dos serviços ecossistêmicos.Palavras-chave: reservatórios neotropicais, serviços ecossistêmicos, gerenciamento da bacia hidrográfica, análise custo-benefício, áreas alagadas, forçantes.

“…Since the middle of 1980s, the translation of model results into geographical patterns has been under rapid development (Jørgensen, 2002). For instance, a dynamic spatial simulation model composed of interacting cells was designed to simulate habitat changes as a function of marsh type, hydrology, subsidence, and sediment transport for a generalized coastal wetland area (Sklar et al, 1985;Costanza et al, 1990).…”
