- Abstract
This paper regards the córrego dos Micos river basin, in Paraty Municipality, which is located within an Environmental Protection Area, in order to assess the role of some soil properties, together with land use and management, to understand how they might affect Haplic Cambisol. In order to achieve this target, soil samples have been collected, at different depths (0-10 and 10-20 cm) and have been analyzed in the laboratory, to assess physical and chemical properties. In addition, a pluviograph was installed to collect rainfall data. These include soil texture, bulk density and water aggregate stability. The results point out to the role that these soil properties have in understanding the indicators of soil quality. Comparing different land uses, it has been possible to outline that there has been a degradation of the soil structure on the manioc plantation area. The results also point out toward the need of field surveys, together with laboratory analysis, in order to show how these studies can be useful to show the local residents how they can improve the land use and management, in order to avoid land degradation.
