                         impacts related to soil erosion and silting-up of water streams, 
                         designed to allow the transfer of recovery costs to a policy of 
                         payment for ecosystem services. The aim of this study is to 
                         evaluate the contribution of silting-up mitigation to funding the 
                         environmental recovery of riparian areas found in sugarcane farms. 
                         The city selected for study is Arealva, located in the 
                         Central-West region of S{\~a}o Paulo State, Southeast of Brazil. 
                         Spatial dynamic models were conceived to simulate past land 
                         cover/land use changes (2005-2010) and future landscape scenarios 
                         (2010-2020) in the study area. The main observed changes that took 
                         place from 2005 to 2010 were: sugarcane expansion (6,012.71ha 
                         (49.68%)), mostly extending over grazing lands, and deforestation 
                         (3,107.16ha (22.33%)), predominantly converted into pastures. 
                         Three sets of scenarios were defined: i) stationary scenarios, in 
                         which the transition rates observed in former years were held 
                         constant (business as usual); ii) nonstationary scenarios with a 
                         partial recovery of environmentally protected areas along 
                         riversides (70% by 2015), and; iii) non-stationary scenarios with 
                         a full recovery of environmentally protected areas along 
                         riversides (100% by 2015). The regarded impacts are dependent on 
                         the estimated amount of lost soil, assessed by means of the 
                         Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE). We also estimated the 
                         sediment accumulation rate in order to calculate siltation. The 
                         envisaged scenarios for environmental recovery can reduce 
                         environmental impacts up to 16% (US\$41,479.29 to US\$56,789.40) 
                         yearly. The riparian and alike vulnerable areas (prone to erosion 
                         and silting-up) can be recovered through a financing mechanism, 
                         relying either on water use charging or even on a taxation 
                         strategy implicitly considering the payment for ecosystem 
                         services. The silting mitigation would approximately contribute 
                         with US\$13.83 to US\$18.94 ha-1.year-1. In this way, sugarcane 
                         farms would have a financial incentive to restore and maintain the 
                         environmentally protected areas within their domain, reducing the 
                         environmental impacts related to silting-up processes.",
