Natural erosion potential in the Mato Grosso state, Brazil

Abstract: Understanding the susceptibility of soils to erosion is crucial for planning land use towards sustainable agriculture. This study aimed to determine the spatial variability of natural erosion potential for the state of Mato Grosso, an important agricultural center of Brazil. Natural erosion potential was calculated using the Universal Soil Loss Equation, which accounts for erosivity, erodibility, and the topographic factor. For each of these three factors, a map was generated in raster format that was combined… Show more

“…Although all the landscapes evaluated in the present study are considered relatively flat, in the state of Mato Grosso, there are agricultural areas on sloping land [14,55]; therefore, new initiatives should pay special attention to those areas with steep slopes above a gradient of 15%. The greater the slope of an area, the greater the potential for soil and water losses [1,58]. One study measured the effect of slopes of 15%, 25%, 35%, and 45% on soil and water losses and concluded that the greater the local slope, the greater the losses of water and soil resources [14].…”

“…O fator K dos SX e NX também é superior a baixa erodibilidade encontrada para Planossolos do Recôncavo Sul da Bahia (34) e para Nitossolos Háplicos determinada em condições de campo em Santa Catarina (36) e Nitossolos Vermelhos em bacia de captação do rio Barro Preto -PR (37) . Plintossolos e Nitossolos do estado do Mato Grosso do Sul também apresentaram baixa erodibilidade (38) .

“…A erodibilidade encontrada para os CX é superior aos encontrados para Cambissolos de diferentes regiões do território nacional (32,38,44,45) . Esses solos são caracterizados pelo incipiente desenvolvimento pedogenético, onde a atuação menos expressiva do intemperismo permite a permanência de minerais facilmente intemperizáveis nos solos, que por sua vez, contribuem para o aumento dos teores de silte.…”
