abstract = ": Inadequate land use planning is one of the main driving forces
leading to the occurrence of erosion and environmental
degradation. The negative impacts of poor planning influence soil
physical quality and fertility, agricultural productivity, water
quality and availability, biodiversity and other ecosystem
services. In some areas, actual land use is not consistent with
potential use. When this occurs, the area is termed as being in
environmental land use conflict. Many studies have demonstrated
the efficiency of the ruggedness number (RN) method for
determining land use potential in watersheds. The RN method is
simple and can be carried out using geographic information systems
(GIS). However, the absence of potential land use or agricultural
land suitability assessments is recurrent in territorial
management plans or integrated water resources plans (IWRP),
especially for macroscale river basins. Therefore, the aim of this
preliminary study is to identify possible environmental land use
conflicts at the Rio Grande Basin (BHRG), Brazil, using the
Ruggedness Number. The results indicate high agricultural use
potential and the predominance of appropriate or acceptable soil
use at the BHRG. However, class 1, 2 and 3 environmental conflicts
were identified in some Rio Grande sub-basins, suggesting greater
environmental degradation risks. The findings clearly indicate
that more exhaustive studies on environmental quality (soil
capability, water, biodiversity) are required at the BHRG,
especially in environmental land use conflict areas. We emphasize
that this is an important preliminary study which may be carried
out in any other macroscale hydrographic basin.",
