This study assesses the performance of the new Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM)-based satellite precipitation estimates (SPEs) datasets in the Brazilian Central Plateau and compares it with the previous Tropical Rainfall Measurement Mission (TRMM)-era datasets. To do so, the Integrated Multi-satellitE Retrievals for GPM (IMERG)-v5 and the Global Satellite Mapping of Precipitation (GSMaP)-v7 were evaluated at their original 0.1° spatial resolution and for a 0.25° grid for comparison with TRMM Multi-satellite Precipitation Analysis (TMPA). The assessment was made on an annual, monthly, and daily basis for both wet and dry seasons. Overall, IMERG presents the best annual and monthly results. In both time steps, IMERG’s precipitation estimations present bias with lower magnitudes and smaller root-mean-square error. However, GSMaP performs slightly better for the daily time step based on categorical and quantitative statistical analysis. Both IMERG and GSMaP estimates are seasonally influenced, with the highest difficulty in estimating precipitation occurring during the dry season. Additionally, the study indicates that GPM-based SPEs products are capable of continuing TRMM-based precipitation monitoring with similar or even better accuracy than obtained previously with the widely used TMPA product.

Water erosion is one of the most important soil degradation processes and it can be intensified by land use and vegetal covering changes. Thus, water erosion modeling studies associated to multi temporal analyses of land use are effective in assessing how changes in land cover affects sediment yield. Therefore, considering the modifications in the land use from 1986 to 2011, the aim of this study ranged to estimate water erosion rates and compare them to the soil loss tolerance (SLT) limit in the Latosols (Oxisols) at Ribeirão Caçús sub-basin, in the South of Minas Gerais State, Southeast Brazil, by means of the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) in association with the geographic information system (GIS), and geostatistical techniques. So, for each year mapped, soil loss averages were compared by t test at 5% significance to assess the soil degradation stage. The results indicated that, in the period, the soil loss average rate was from 2.4 to 2.6 Mg ha-1 year-1 and the areas with soil loss above the limit of SLT were around 8.0%. The t test demonstrated there was no considerable difference among the soil loss averages (p = 0.18). In consequence, the area of degraded soils did not increase. Thus, the RUSLE model in GIS is a simple and useful tool to estimate the soil loss and help define soil conservation and recovery measures.

Em estado natural, os Latossolos apresentam grande estabilidade e resistência à erosão, sendo os mais abundantes e utilizados para atividades agropecuárias no sul de Minas Gerais. Contudo, nos últimos cem anos, estes foram submetidos a cultivos e manejos que favorecem a erosão hídrica. Este estudo objetivou estimar as taxas de erosão hídrica em Latossolos Vermelhos distróficos, a partir da Equação Universal de Perdas de Solo Revisada, em comparação com os limites de tolerância de perda de solo, e avaliar o impacto sobre a erosão hídrica dos manejos mais utilizados na região, pela simulação de alternativas de manejos conservacionistas. Os limites de tolerância de perda de solo variaram de 8,94 Mg ha-1 ano-1 a 9,99 Mg ha-1 ano-1, sendo que a área estudada apresenta suscetibilidade de perda de solo de 23,86 Mg ano-1, com taxa média de 8,40 Mg ha-1 ano-1, correspondendo a 34,80 % da área com valores acima do limite de tolerância de perda de solos. As maiores perdas anuais ocorrem nas áreas com uso e manejo de eucalipto (30,67 Mg ha-1 ano-1), com plantio morro abaixo, e pastagem sob lotação contínua (11,10 Mg ha-1 ano-1). Todavia, quando é considerada a perda média por tipo de uso, as áreas mais suscetíveis à erosão hídrica são as ocupadas pelas culturas de batata e eucalipto, com plantio morro abaixo, e as de solos expostos. Entretanto, no cenário simulado com manejo conservacionista, as perdas médias seriam reduzidas drasticamente (8,40 Mg ha-1 ano-1 para 2,84 Mg ha-1 ano-1) e restariam somente 4,00 % da área com perdas de solo acima do limite de tolerância.

The modeling of the soil system based on geostatistical techniques, geographic information systems and remote sensing allows the identification, monitoring and the sustainable use of soil resources. Thus, the interaction between the attributes of the landscape (or independent variables) and the physical and chemical attributes (or dependent variables) of Dystrophic Red Oxisols in the South of Minas Gerais State was evaluated. Twenty-three soil samples were correlated by linear and nonlinear regression models, by overlapping landscape variables such as composition, configuration and relief, with physical and chemical attributes of the soils. The models were ranked according to Akaike information criterion, which indicates direct relationships between the organic matter contents and average slope gradient; between geometric mean diameter and the adopted management and slope gradient. Clay content, percentage of native forest, landscape average slope gradient, and sum of exchangeable bases were conditioned mainly by the slope of the sampled area and the shape of the forest fragments. Thus, the attributes are explained mainly by the relief, which restricts the uses and allows the preservation of the forests, besides the types of management adopted in the different uses and the relative abundance of native forests. Therefore, the use of conservationist practices and the improvement of management practices, as well as compliance with the environmental law tend, in the long term, to result in more preserved and more sustainable soils for agricultural activities, reducing morphogenesis processes in relation to those of pedogenesis. R E S U M O A modelagem do sistema solo a partir de técnicas geoestatísticas, sistemas de informação geográfica e sensoriamento remoto permite identificar, monitorar e utilizar de forma sustentável os recursos pedológicos. Assim, foi avaliada a interação entre os atributos da paisagem, ou variáveis independentes, sobre os atributos físicos e químicos ou variáveis dependentes de Latossolos Vermelhos distróficos do sul do Estado de Minas Gerais. Vinte e três amostras de solo foram correlacionadas por modelos de regressão lineares e não-lineares, com o cruzamento de variáveis da paisagem, como composição, configuração e relevo, com atributos físicos e químicos dos solos. Os modelos foram hierarquizados pelo critério de informação de Akaike, que indicam relações diretas entre os teores de matéria orgânica e a declividade média da paisagem; entre o diâmetro médio geométrico com o manejo adotado e a declividade. Os teores de argila, a porcentagem de mata nativa, a declividade média da paisagem e a soma de bases trocáveis foram condicionados, principalmente, pela declividade no local amostrado e forma dos fragmentos florestais. Os resultados apontam que os atributos são explicados principalmente pelo relevo, que restringe os usos e possibilita a preservação das matas, além dos tipos de manejo adotados nos diferentes usos e a abundância relativa de matas nativas. Portanto, o emprego de práticas conservacionistas e a melhoria das práticas de manejo assim como o respeito à legislação ambiental, tendem, em longo prazo, resultar em solos mais conservados e sustentáveis para as atividades agropecuárias, reduzindo os processos de morfogênese em relação aos de pedogênese.
