Abstract
Introduction. The traditional methodology
employed to identify and evaluate the impacts
on the environment using development projects,
has followed an integrated, global, systematic
and multi-disciplinary analysis of these impacts,
identifying their causal connections. Objective.
Create analternative model to assess the effects and
estimate the transformations that plant communities
of breast height diameter (larger or equal to ten
centimeters) suffer throughout the installation of
small hydroelectric plants. Methodology. Material
was collected from twelve projects in Antioquia and
Caldas. These projects are currently running or about
to do so. From each project, the chosen variables
were weighted. The values obtained were statistically
analyzed. Results. A statistical model is proposed,
including ecosystem variables, which helps assess
flora impacts considering every asset and associated
service. Conclusion. This method shows which
factors (associated with vegetation) present greater
impacts and their substantial effects due to the
implementation of development projects.
