| Sumario: | Urbanization processes modify the relationship between landscape characteristics and ecosystem services and it is a challenge to assess these changes in time and space. In this work, a methodological path was developed in order to evaluate the water ecosystem services that are capable of providing different landscape units with distinct degrees of urbanization in a sector of the south of the province of Santa Fe. Seven landscape units were defined by their differences in the physiographic structures and systemic functionality and their abilities to provide these services were determined. These abilities were linked to the proportion of urbanized surface area of each of them to determine which ones are in the best conditions to provide them. The link among landscape-urbanization-water ecosystem services defines an axis of intervention in the territory that is unavoidable when designing environmental territorial ordering, promoting the consideration of the capacities of common natural goods to sustain human life. |
