One management practice is logging and which are located on steep slopes‚ the effects of these activities on watersheds will depend mainly on the layout of roads and skid trails and the quality of their maintenance. Other important factors are the felling and skidding techniques which are used in silvicultural treatments‚ protection against fire and pests‚ and other

The headwaters of the Doce River rise in the southeast-east area (SE-E) of the Iron Quadrangle‚ located in south-central portion (C-S) of the state of Minas Gerais (Figure 1). The Iron Quadrangle is historically known as a rich auri-ferriferous province and is a classic region of the world Precambrian geology (Dorr‚ 1959). Its designation results from the area’s planimetric features‚ with a surface area of around 7‚000 km2‚ comprising the most important iron mines of Minas Gerais (Barbosa‚ 1968)

Many of the services provided by forests (as well as some of the costs of mismanaging these resources) have no market price and therefore do not enter into the decisions of private sector actors. For example‚ a forest landowner in an upper watershed does not get paid for the services his forest provides to downstream fishermen and farmers. These values‚ including protection of soil against erosion and irrigation and hydropower dams against sedimentation‚ can be substantial to downstream operators

This issue‚ global climate change‚ was discussed in a case within the book Watersheds 4. Global climate change is the gradual warming of the earth ’s climate due to the greenhouse effect. Many scientists and researchers believe this is a result of man-made emissions of greenhouse gases. The effects of global climate change are horrifying
