Interpretação multidisciplinar de unidades de paisagem: suporte para classificação e mapeamento de solos nos biomas cerrado, mata atlântica e caatinga

Abstract

The identification of Landscape Units constitutes a coherent instrument for evaluating the carrying capacity of ecosystems, highlighting the potential and limitations for anthropogenic use/occupation. Above all, it is a concrete tool for planning and sustainable development. At the same time, the methodology employed infers, through the intersection of characteristics of the physical and biotic environment, anthropogenic activities, relief, and soil types in each Landscape Unit, conducting a joint and geographical analysis. Multidisciplinary interpretation and analysis, combined with geoprocessing tools such as contour lines, digital elevation models, moisture analysis, land use and occupation, among others, after technical training, can, along with fieldwork, be important factors for soil analysis and mapping.
