Relação entre o meio físico e a ocupação do solo: estudo de caso de uma propriedade rural em Fênix-PR

Abstract

The present work aimed to analyze the relationship between the physical environment and the use and occupation of the soil of a rural property in the municipality of FênixPR. Thematic maps and laboratory work were prepared with physical and chemical analyzes of the horizons found in the analyzed profiles and also the representative geoenvironmental profile of the area for subsequent interpretative analysis. The physical, chemical and morphological analyzes verified in the soil profiles allowed to identify two classes of; Red Nitosols and Litholic Neosols. In both soils they present high base saturation, which allowed them to classify in the fourth classification level with chernozemic character. The survey and mapping of the physical environment and land use in the study area allowed us to conclude that a large part of the rural property presents a strong impediment to mechanization due to the high slope and small effective depth of the soils as well as the significant susceptibility to erosion, thus not the cultivation of temporary crops is recommended due to the high risk of failure in this agricultural activity.
