摘 要:Evaluating the physical quality of soil (SPQ) at the watershed scale is crucial for improved management and conservation of soil and water within the watershed. This study aims to assess the spatial uncertainties of soil physical vulnerability (SPV), based on the characterization of the distribution and spatial variability of physical-hydric attributes (PHA), using geostatistical simulation within the established sample grid in the Santa Rita watershed (SRW), located in Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul, Southern Brazil. Variability and spatial distribution were assessed using the Matheron estimator and the sequential Gaussian simulation (SGS) method, respectively. Uncertainties of macroporosity (Ma), bulk density (Bd), and saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ks) were evaluated based on cumulative frequency distribution curves and coefficient of variation mapping from simulations. The SPV was assessed by integrating different critical zone maps based on Ma, Bd, and Ks. Among the studied attributes, Ks exhibited the highest heterogeneity. SGS effectively characterized the variability and spatial distribution of Ma, Bd, and Ks, identifying critical areas and developing maps highlighting zones with compromised soil quality. Ks required more simulated random fields, while Ma presented fewer uncertainties. The spatial uncertainties for SPV were minimal, despite using different combinations of PHA in the assessment. Soils under native forest showed a lower tendency for physical degradation, whereas soils under crops and native field in the southern portion of the SRW exhibited a higher tendency for physical degradation. Mapping SPV is crucial for assessing SPQ, identifying areas prone to fragility, and promoting sustainable soil and water management. © 2023, The Authors. All rights reserved.
