Abstract

Studies on soil erosion susceptibility have the main purpose of assisting in territorial management and the development of practices and strategic actions aimed at environmental planning, seeking the sustainable use of natural resources. In this sense, the present text reports results of research dedicated to the survey of the natural susceptibility to laminar erosion in the Ribeirão Douradinho hydrographic basin, in the Triângulo Mineiro, in an attempt to contribute to the direction of land occupation, given the need for prevention and control of erosive processes. In this evaluation, the factors related to rainfall erosivity, soil erodibility, terrain slope and slope length were analyzed, according to the procedures proposed by Salomão (1999). In the studied basin, the integration of this information of a natural order resulted in three different classes of susceptibility to laminar erosion, namely: very susceptible (II), moderately susceptible (III) and little susceptible (IV). In general, it can be seen that almost half of the basin area presents moderate susceptibility, which, when added to the very susceptible areas, reach approximately 65% of the total area of the studied site.
