Abstract

The present work of a degree in Geography, addresses the problem of soil degradation in the district of Magude. The objective of the work is to analyze the interrelationship of each form of land use and the possible occurrence of land degradation phenomena in the study area. This work is oriented towards the determination of land use with a greater occurrence of the phenomenon of degradation. It is a study based on bibliographic and cartographic evaluation and data interpretation. The indicators analyzed include: different forms of land use and their relationship with degradation phenomena and types of degradation that occur in the study area. A moment constitutes the backbone of this work, which addresses the interrelationship of forms of land use and types of degradation in the study area, in Chapter II. The main conclusion drawn from the work is that all four forms of land use presented in this work always cause more or less profound changes in the soil. However, agricultural practice is the form of land use with the greatest tendency for the occurrence of degradation phenomena in the study area, as it can cause soil degradation through erosion, salinization, acidification and nutrient depletion of the soils.(TRADUÇÂO NOSSA)
