“…The rainy season occurs between January and June, peaking from February to May, which was the period in which these samples were taken, and the dry season falls between July and December. Moreover, the sampling area is governed by a mesotidal regime and a westerly current (Maia et al, 2018).…”

“…Near the coastline, quaternary sand and marine terrace cover the Barreiras Formation (Maia et al, 2018). The set (pediplain, tableland and marine terrace) is cut by the course of the river, whose valley has quaternary alluvium made of low-permeable clayey sediments.…”

This article analyzes the pedodiversity that characterizes the low course of the Acaraú River, in the northwestern Ceará, northeastern Brazil, from the analysis of soil profiles performed in the fieldwork, and from the chemical, mineralogical and particle size analysis of soil samples in the laboratory. The soil typology update in the research area and physical characteristics indicate the occurrence of environmental degradation processes in the area. These situations result from the improper use of the soil in the low course of the river, which is accelerating erosion processes to various degrees, resulting in economic losses and in the risk of desertification. Pedodiversidade e degradação ambiental no baixo curso do rio Acaraú, Ceará, Nordeste do Brasil R E S U M OO presente trabalho analisa a pedodiversidade que caracteriza a área do baixo curso do Rio Acaraú, situado no Noroeste do Estado do Ceará, Nordeste do Brasil, a partir da análise de perfis de solo realizados em campo, e da analise granulométrica, química e mineralógica de amostras dos solos em laboratório. Fez-se uma atualização da tipologia dos solos na área de pesquisa, bem como a identificação de características físicas que indicam a ocorrência de processos de degradação ambiental na área. Essas situações resultam do uso inadequado do solo no baixo curso do rio, o qual está acelerando processos de erosão em vários graus, resultando em perdas econômicas e risco de desertificação.Palavras-chave: Pedodiversidade, Degradação Ambiental, Rio Acaraú, Nordeste do Brasil.
