Human actions can damage the ecosystems and affect services depending on them, with ample detrimental consequences. In earlier studies, Conservation Use Potential (PCU) framework proved useful in assessing capacity for aquifer recharge, suitable land uses resistance to erosion at river basin scale. On other hand, joint analysis of PCU allowed identifying adequacy current relation suitability (natural uses) various basins. This was especially from management perspective basins environmental conflicts, where differed suitability, because indicated how conflicts should be mitigated. Besides use as tool, has potential shed light over issues such ecosystem services, but that not tempted so far. The aim this work therefore bridge knowledge gap frame PCU's application standpoint Ecosystem Services (ES) assessment. We demonstrated could used improve provision (recharge), support (sustainable agriculture) regulation (resistance erosion) a specific (the Upper Rio das Velhas basin, located Minas Gerais, Brazil), through planning uses. It noted studied is mostly composed Very Low, Low Medium potentials. These classes occur steep slopes, fragile soils lithologies high denudation low nutrient supply dominate basin. urban sprawl negative impact all ES, while maintaining agricultural areas appropriate effectively regulate erosion. As per results, premise using management-environmental tool fully accomplished, recommended basis public policy design implementation Brazil elsewhere.

Estudos vinculados à geodiversidade podem revelar características geológicas especiais que devem ser preservadas. Para tanto, realizou-se a identificação, inventariação e quantificação de potenciais sítios do Caminho Saint Hilaire (CaSHi), uma trilha longo curso entre os municípios Diamantina, Serro Conceição Mato Dentro, na Reserva da Biosfera Serra Espinhaço, Minas Gerais. Foram estudados 8 (oito) sítios: Sítio Cruzeiro, Gruta Salitre, Capão Maravilha, Cânion rio Jequitinhonha, Pedra Redonda, Lisa, Carola São José. Destes, Salitre caracteriza-se como geossítio demais geodiversidade. Os apresentam-se em bom estado conservação embora o Cruzeiro José tenham pontuado valores médios quanto ao risco degradação. Ressalta-se principal causa degradação nestes ocorre devido carência informação divulgação conhecimento. Portanto, ações são necessárias. Conclui-se CaSHi apresentou potencial todos pontos analisados, com potencialidade para outros estudos pesquisas futuras.

With the growing concerns about protection of ecosystem functions and services, governments have developed public policies organizations produced an awesome volume digital data freely available through their websites. On other hand, advances in acquisition remote sensed sources processing geographic information systems (GIS) statistical tools, allowed unprecedent capacity to manage ecosystems efficiently. However, real-world scenario that regard remains paradoxically challenging. The reasons can be many diverse, but a strong candidate relates with limited engagement among interest parties hampers bringing all these assets into action. aim study is demonstrate management services significantly improved by integrating existing environmental big low-cost GIS tools. Using Upper Rio das Velhas hydrographic basin located state Minas Gerais (Brazil) as example, demonstrated how Principal Components Analysis based on diversity variables assembled sub-basins urban, agriculture, mining heterogeneous profiles, directing most appropriate officially established conservation plans. use narrowing implementation each plan specific sub-basins.
