Avaliação da Erosão dos Solos na Bacia Hidrográfica do Rio Pequeno, Paraty-rj

A recent study on the Rio Pequeno watershed in Paraty, Brazil, reveals that while soils in the region exhibit low erodibility, human activities and land management practices are accelerating soil degradation. The research highlights how changes in vegetation cover and improper land use reduce organic matter input, potentially increasing soil erodibility over time. Despite the natural resilience of the terrain, these findings underscore the need for sustainable management to protect the ecological integrity of this UNESCO World Heritage Site. The study employed a combination of fieldwork, soil attribute analysis, and thematic mapping to assess environmental conditions, providing critical insights into the long-term impacts of human interference on biodiversity and landscape stability.
