1 CASO DE ESTUDIO SOBRE PREDICCION DE PROPIEDADES DE SUELOS A TRAVÉS DE PUNTOS: El Carbono Organico en los Suelos de Rio de Janeiro, Brasil M.L. Mendonça Santos, Dart, R., Rizzato, M. Embrapa Solos

2 Objectivos y Procedimientos Procedures of digital mapping were used to predict the stock of organic carbon of the topsoil (0-10cm) in the State of Rio de Janeiro. For that purpose, a multilinear analysis was used as predictive model and some environmental variables as predictors. Seven different models were built and statistically compared. The best model was applied to the digital mapping of the soil carbon stock Pedotransfer functions (PTFs) were estimated to bulk density (from granulometry and O.C.), in order to calculate soil carbon stock. SCORPAN model was used with following environmental correlates as predictor variables: satellite data, lithology, DEM and its derivatives, and and polygon soil map.

17 Conclusions The whole process of DSM has been demonstrated, using the soil formation factors as predictor variables in order to build the models; Seven predictive models were tested and have not shown great variations. However, the best result for carbon stock was performed by model 6 (M6), that presented the smallest AIC and RMSE. This model encompasses information on existing polygon soil map, satellite images, DEM and its derivates and lithology map; The spatial distribution of soil organic carbon is correlated with with the different geo-environments of the study area, e.g. the highest stocks of organic carbon is found in the lowlands areas. Soil profiles has been described in each zones, where OC vertical distribution has been studied...depth Functions
