Ocupação e uso da área da Bacia do Igarapé Cachorro, Cantá-RR e seus condicionantes ambientais

Abstract

The Central East region of the state of Roraima is composed of a landscape mosaic highlighted in the Dense Ombrophylous Forest, which shows the most varied types of geomorphological compartmentalization, highlighting the Roraima Residual Plateau and the Rio Branco - Rio Negro Pediplano, giving rise to a diversity of soils. The present study aimed to analyze the forms of land use and occupation in the Igarapé Cachorro watershed area and correlate them with the physiography. The methodological procedures were: bibliographic, cartographic, remote sensor survey and field research aiming to verify and characterize the geomorphological compartments types of the Igarapé Cachorro Watershed and identify the use of the Earth. By applying questionnaires it was possible to prove the products used to improve soil fertility and to correlate it with the types of crops and farms developed by the farmers in the União Settlement Project. extensive areas, such as higher areas such as the stiff and sloping hillsides, annual crops such as maize,
