Soil, lithology and land use and land cover associations in Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil.

Soil formation and change is controlled by the parent material and land use/land cover dynamics, among other factors. The objective is to identify the main soil-lithology and soil-land use/land cover (LULC) associations in Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil, by preparing raster layers and combining them using map algebra. The primary soil classes include Argisols, Oxisols and Cambisols, occurring across many lithology and LULC classes, followed by Gleisols and Spodosols associated with sandy lithology in the coastal plain. The predominant soil-LULC associations include Argisols and Oxisols on pasture, forest, and agriculture. Soil-lithology and soil-LULC associations in Rio de Janeiro support soil mapping, land conservation and policy making.
