Abstract

The objective of this study was to characterize and to evaluate the environmental fragility of the peaks Camacuã, Camapuã and Tucum, Campina Grande do Sul, PR. The environmental fragility was determined according to Ross (1994) method, based on the slope, soil, and vegetation. The overlapping of the slope map on the soil map generated the potential fragility map and the overlapping of the potential fragility map on the vegetation map generated the emergent fragility map. The potential fragility in 92 % of the total area was classified as very high, while 54 % and 40 % of the area presented medium and high emergent fragility, respectively. The studied area is very fragile due to the high slope and to the poorly developed soils. However the existing vegetation in the area is fundamental to protect it against the degradation, decreasing the potential fragility.
