Análisis de la variabilidad multitemporal de la cobertura vegetal en relación con procesos erosivos de la vereda Alto del Ramo del municipio de Chipaque

Abstract

In the world, the degradation of soils accelerates in a certain way, about two million hectares are determined in agricultural activities presenting degradation processes. According to the municipality of Chipaque, 70% of the population is engaged in this type of activity and does not have prevention and / or mitigation measures for soil degradation, for this reason in this document, a study in the Alto del bouquet path, located in the upper part of the municipal capital, identifying the change of the vegetation cover in different years in relation to erosive processes and thus determining the variation of the study area contrasting with the current coverage plant and slope gradient is established by means of photointerpretation and stereoscopy methods, where changes in the vegetation cover are obtained according to the slope pattern of the slope; the degree of erosion is determined, which belongs to a transition from light to moderate, this is an agreement to the different erosive processes identified in the field and finally the soil quality indicators with the support of statistical analysis (ANOVA) are analyzed, resulting in optimal and similar soils for the development of plants and crops in the study area. In this way it was concluded that on the sidewalk a pressure is being generated from the upper zone towards the lower zone, impacting on the urban area, presenting effects on the infrastructure of the municipality; According to the degree of erosion and the problems faced by the municipality, sustainable alternatives were proposed for the mitigation of soil degradation by promoting good agricultural practices focused on the soil and water resource and reforestation programs for covering the soil with plantations native (morita, elder, among others), because these serve as support protecting the soil and providing nutrients.
