<b>Estimates of soil losses in the Ipiranga river basin in Cidade Gaúcha, State of Paraná, with application of the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE)</b> - DOI: 10.4025/actascitechnol.v27i1.1496
Abstract
The prediction of soil loss via laminar erosion at Ipiranga river basin, situated in Cidade Gaúcha county, State of Paraná, was carried out by applying both the Universal soil Loss Equation (USLE) and the Geographic Information System (GIS). The GIS environment provided a complete integration of the data, as well as helped the authors of this paper to obtain the USLE parameters and the calculus of the annual and seasonal soil losses, considering the different types of soil, their usage and the area cover-management. The results obtained indicated a high soil loss in areas where sugar cane and manioc (>20 t.ha-1.no-1) are cultivated. Spring is the most critical period for laminar erosion, while autumn is the period which shows the smallest number of soil lossesDownloads
