Environments, Soil Atributes, Fractal DimensionAbstract
The Amazon region presents natural environments and transformed environments, with livestock being the main activity. Inadequate soil use has resulted in the degradation of its physical, chemical and biological properties. The objective of this work was to perform a bibliographical survey about the relationships between physical attributes and organic carbon of the soil with its quality and the possibility of using the fractal dimension as an instrument to evaluate soil texture in natural and transformed environments in the Amazon. The physical attributes and organic matter of the soil can be directly affected by different systems of use and management. Thus, soil attributes, such as aggregate stability, porosity, density, moisture, soil penetration resistance, texture and organic matter, can be used as indicators of soil quality. It has also been verified from the results that the fractal dimension can serve as an instrument in the evaluation of soil texture, since the texture is a fractional composition of soil particles.
