Spatial analysis of erosive processes in plateaus and depressions of the Upper Paraguai river basin. Author(s): ANDRADE, D. D. de; SILVA, J. dos S. V. da; FIGUEIREDO, V. A.; CASTRO, E. C. de Natural characteristics may contribute to the erosion of the soil and to environmental imbalances, and in most cases, they initiate the imbalances that will be exacerbated by human activities. The pre... ... |
Author(s): LU, D.; LI, G.; VALLADARES, G. S.; BATISTELLA, M. This article discusses research in which the authors applied the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE), remote sensing, and geographical information system (GIS) to the maping of soil erosion r... ... |
Author(s): POLIDORO, J. C.; FREITAS, P. L. de; BHERING, S. B.; CARVALHO JUNIOR, W. de; RODRIGUES, R. de A. R.; BENITES, V. de M.; ANJOS, L. H. C. dos; PEREIRA, M. G.; RIBEIRO, J. L. Assessments of land coverage in Brazil indicate that almost 28 % of the territory of 8.5 million-km2 is occupied with the production of food, fibers, bio-fuels and raw material for agroindustry and di... ... |
Author(s): GALDINO, S.; GREGO, C. R.; SILVA, J. dos S. V. da Mapping rainfall erosivity is a practical and indispensable tool for land use planning at regional scale, like large river basins. The objective of this study was to evaluate the spatial distribution... ... |
Author(s): FLUMIGNAN, D. L.; GOMES, L. D.; MOTOMIYA, A. V. A; OLIVEIRA, G. Q. de; VIEIRA FILHO, P. S. Sandy-textured soils are naturally more vulnerable to the erosion process and their exploitation, although possible, is often performed inappropriately, favoring its degradation. In this context, this... ... |
Author(s): SILVA, M. A. da; SILVA, M. L. N.; CURI, N.; OLIVEIRA, A. H.; AVANZI, J. C.; NORTON, L. D. Eucalyptus plantations are normally found in vulnerable ecosystems such as steep slope, soil with low natural fertility and lands that were degraded by agriculture. The objective of this study was to... ... |
Author(s): STUCHI, J. F.; ANDRADE, A. G. de; GALLAR CONZÁLES, D. With the increased demand for agricultural and forestry products, the pressure on soil and water resources intensifies, leading the world to food insecurity, malnutrition and several socio-economic pr... ... |
Author(s): MERLO, M. N.; AVANZI, J. C.; SILVA, L. de C. M. da; ARAGÃO, O. O. da S.; BORGHI, E.; MOREIRA, F. M. de S.; THEBALDI, M. S.; RESENDE, A. V. de; SILVA, M. L. N.; SILVA, B. M. Many researchers have reported relationships of physical and chemical properties with water erosion; however, little is known about microbiological properties in this context. Thus, the aim of this st... ... |
Author(s): SOARES, A. K. M.; REAL, L. S. C.; RODRIGUES, V. G. S.; CRESTANA, S.; FERREIRA, R. R. M. Abstract: Gully erosion can lead to irreversible financial and soil losses, which endorse a detailed study of erosive processes and their conditioning factors in each degraded area. However, studies o... ... |
Author(s): AQUINO, R. F.; SILVA, M. L. N.; FREITAS, D. A. F. de; CURI, N.; MELLO, C. R. de; AVANZI, J. C. Rainfall erosivity and its spatial variability were studied for 54 pluviometric stations in Southern Minas Gerais State (48º00? - 44º00?W; 23º50? - 20º00?S), aiming to plan the land-use strategies. Th... ... |
