Experimentos e monitoramentos em erosão dos solos

The present paper regards experiments and monitoring in soil erosion, taking into account that through these techniques soil erosion has had a great advance in the last years, due to the advancement of these techniques. Several examples and case studies are addressed, in order to illustrate this issue and also to call attention that this field is rather important to Physical Geography. Therefore, it is important to outline that the approach on this scientific field refers to what geomorphologists have been developing in order to understand the erosion process, taking into account variables related to climate, geomorphology, soil science, hydrology and also land use and vegetation cover, which are altogether important to cause the erosion processes.
