Qualidade Física de um Cambissolo Háplico sob Diferentes Usos na Bacia do Córrego dos Micos, Paraty (RJ)

Research reveals significant soil degradation, particularly in cassava plantations within the Córrego dos Micos watershed in Paraty, Brazil, due to frequent burning practices. The study highlights how different land uses impact the physical quality of Haplic Cambisols, emphasizing the role of soil properties like texture, bulk density, and aggregate stability in assessing soil health. By comparing various land uses—including areas affected by burning—the findings underscore the need for integrated field surveys and laboratory analyses to guide sustainable soil management practices. This work provides critical insights for local communities to mitigate erosion and preserve biodiversity in this UNESCO-recognized cultural and biological landscape.
