| description |
Lack of land use planning has led to large-scale land degradation processes. Understanding and assessing their environmental impacts and costs becomes essential for sustainable development. Fragility is the maximum risk to land degradation. It is an inherited characteristic and can be fully expressed by land use. Agroecosystems are complex and their stability is an emerging property which indicates the resilience of agroecosystems in relation to land use intensity. The main objective of this work was to characterise land fragility in the Azul district, Buenos Aires province, Argentina, and to evaluate its stability. Physical, chemical, and biological degradation fragility indicators were applied and mapped. Based on these indicators, the fragility to degradation index (IFDE) was developed, applied, and mapped. The instability index (II) was developed and applied based on soil mesofauna to determine stability. The vulnerability index (IV) was developed and applied to determine current degradation. Physical fragility to degradation was the most important and significantly different between the north and the south of the Azul district. Similar results were observed for the IFDE between north and south. For the land use scenarios proposed, high intensity expressed 83% of the IV, whereas low intensity expressed 8% of the IV. Index IV allows a current analysis of the expression of degradation due to land use by the combination of IFDE and II. The environmental indicators and indices used in this work made it possible to identify the areas to which land use planning actions and policies should be directed. |

La falta de planificación del uso de la tierra provocó grandes procesos de degradación. Comprender y evaluar sus impactos es esencial para el desarrollo sostenible. La fragilidad es el máximo riesgo de degradación de la tierra. Es una característica heredada y puede expresarse mediante el uso. Los agroecosistemas son sistemas complejos y su estabilidad es una propiedad emergente. Esta indica lo resilientes que son en relación con su uso. El objetivo fue caracterizar la fragilidad de las tierras en el partido de Azul, provincia de Buenos Aires, Argentina y evaluar su estabilidad. Se aplicaron indicadores de fragilidad a la degradación física, química y biológica. En base a estos se desarrolló y aplicó el índice de fragilidad a la degradación (IFDE). Se desarrolló y aplicó el índice de inestabilidad (II) basado en la mesofauna edáfica para determinar la estabilidad. Se desarrolló el índice de vulnerabilidad (IV) y aplicó para determinar la degradación actual. La fragilidad a la degradación física fue la más importante y diferente entre el norte y el sur. Se observaron mismos resultados entre el norte y el sur para el IFDE. Para los escenarios de uso de la tierra propuestos: una alta intensidad, expresó el 83% del IV. Por el contrario: una baja intensidad, expresó el 8% del IV. El IV permite un análisis actual de la expresión de la degradación debida al uso de la tierra. Los indicadores e índices medioambientales utilizados en este trabajo permitieron identificar las áreas a las que deben dirigirse las acciones y políticas de planificación del uso del territorio. A falta de planejamento do uso da terra levou a amplos processos de degradação. Compreender e avaliar seus impactos é essencial para o desenvolvimento sustentável. A fragilidade é o risco final da degradação da terra. É uma característica herdada e pode ser expressa por meio do uso. Os agroecossistemas são sistemas complexos e sua estabilidade é uma propriedade emergente. Ela indica o quanto eles são resilientes em relação ao seu uso. O objetivo foi caracterizar a fragilidade da terra em Azul, província de Buenos Aires, Argentina, e avaliar sua estabilidade. Indicadores de fragilidade foram aplicados à degradação física, química e biológica. Com base neles, foi desenvolvido e aplicado o índice de fragilidade à degradação (IFDE). O índice de instabilidade (II), baseado na mesofauna edáfica, foi desenvolvido e aplicado para determinar a estabilidade. O índice de vulnerabilidade (IV) foi desenvolvido e aplicado para determinar a degradação atual. A fragilidade à degradação física foi a mais importante e diferente entre o norte e o sul. Os mesmos resultados foram observados entre o norte e o sul para o IFDE. Para os cenários de uso do solo propostos: uma intensidade alta expressou 83% do IV. Por outro lado, uma intensidade baixa expressou 8% do IV. O IV permite uma análise atual da expressão da degradação devida ao uso da terra. Os indicadores e índices ambientais usados neste trabalho permitiram identificar as áreas para as quais as ações e políticas de planejamento do uso da terra devem ser direcionadas.
