The soil is a natural resource that must be conserved in
protected natural areas since it is one of the determinant
physical supports in territorial planning because it governs
its different uses. Accordingly, specific studies must be
carried out aimed at estimating soil losses at individual
project level and at the general level of Natural Environments
in order to establish methodologies for the control and
ordering of activities, above all in protected environments
whose focus is on sustainable activities. The basic objective
should delimit different erosive forms where best it reflects
the risk of water erosion (gullies, rills) and the degree
(weak, light, important, and burden) and the processes
induced (slides, scarp, remontant erosion...) in addition the
evolution with time. [--]
