This year, MapBiomas launched the mapping of erosional features in Brazil<\/strong> focusing on gullies <\/strong>(\u2018ravinas\u2019 and \u2018vo\u00e7orocas\u2019)<\/strong>The mission is to map the extent of these areas and to understand their spatial and temporal dimensions across the national territory. To make this work possible, we are building a database of gullies <\/strong>in the country from any year and any location. These records can range from a single point indicating a gully's position to the complete delimitation of the eroded area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We rely on the the collaboration of partners willing to share their data<\/strong> and support the development of this initiative of great national importance. All received data will be organized and made available for reuse in the SoilData repository<\/strong>,<\/a> a free and collaborative online platform that gathers field and laboratory research data and results regarding Brazilian soils.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, gully data can be shared in two ways:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. By email<\/strong>: Send your database to contato@mapbiomas.org, preferably in a georeferenced format or containing geographic coordinates and the year of collection.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Directly via the SoilData repository<\/strong>To do this, access the SoilData<\/a>, create an account (sign up<\/em>), register the metadata, upload your files, define the terms of use, and submit the data for review. Consult the user guide<\/a> to learn more.
    <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Regardless of the submission method, all data will be available on SoilData under terms of use defined by the data authors, and each dataset will receive a DOI<\/strong> to ensure traceability and reproducibility. Your collaboration is essential to the success of this initiative. If you have any questions, please contact us at: contato@mapbiomas.org<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
