Processo de degradação física do solo por erosão em área urbana.

Abstract

The gully is a large open incision in the soil, usually with steep walls and flat bottom, or not connected to the drainage network that is configured in a major erosional features resulting from inadequate soil management. Thus, the survey was conducted in order to characterize the process of physical deterioration and soil erosion in an area near the Alto Branco district, located in the city of Campina Grande, in order to suggest mitigation measures for efficient management of the area. Site visits were conducted for a preliminary assessment (diagnosis), where observations were made and collected two samples of soil a surface (soil 1) and one from the bottom (ground 2) the gully for subsequent chemical analysis was also performed possible to capture images and record better characterize the area as well as measurements of the extent and depth of the gully with the help of tapes. From the analysis of results can be observed that environmental degradation in the area is soil erosion, gully being classified as small to medium, with uses and occupations incompatible with use and occupation of land, affecting the chemical properties of the soil.
