Diagnóstico do estado de degradação de um trecho do rio Piancó no município de Pombal-PB.

Abstract

Increasing urbanization has made natural areas increasingly impacted in many ways, mainly due to construction, use of machinery, inadequate land use, deforestation, among others, causing various types of environmental degradation. In view of this problem, this work was developed to diagnose the gradient state, as well as recovery measures for a stretch of the Piancó River, located in the Municipality of Pombal-PB. For the accomplishment of this study it was necessary to use some procedures and research techniques: a) Georeferencing of the study area; b) Diagnosis of the degradation state of the study area; c) Identification of plant species adapted to the riparian forest; d) Identification of plant species adapted to the soil; e) Floristic survey of the area and f) Definition of recovery measures linked to environmental education practices. Therefore, a degradation diagnosis was carried out through these techniques, describing the degree of degradation, the factors that caused the degradation, the type of soil, the types of impacts suffered in the area, as well as the most appropriate mitigation and recovery measures for each impact in the area in a short time.
