Cadastramento de processos erosivos na região do Distrito Agroindustrial de Anápolis

Abstract

The soil of Mid-west Brazil are classified as tropical soil and present tropical and humid climate characteristics. In such regions soil formation is accelerated due to its association to tropical climate in addition to high temperatures and water action. The chemical, physical and mineralogical aspects directly interfere in the tropical climate's performance thus affecting hydraulic and mechanical parameters resulting in erosive processes. Therefore, the erosive processes induce environmental degradation, socio-economic setbacks and are either named as natural erosion or antropic erosion. In order to evaluate soil- erosion processes it's necessary to comprehend the causes, soil use and ocupation and analyze its susceptibility to erosion processes. In light of this, the Cadastro de Erosão (erosion registration) is a fundamental tool that enables to analyze and understand erosive processes and implement preventive measures for the purporse of minimizing, informing and predicting urban and environmental impacts. The present research, equipped with georeferencing informations, aims to materialize an erosion-processes register of Anapolis' agroindustrial district by using Google Earth's software. This study consists of spatial surveying, identification and classification of erosion processes in accordance with the degree of its itensity and performance and the relation of process dynamics
