The research focused on assessing the expansion rate and soil erodibility factor (K) of specific gullies located in Nnewi Nnobi, Southeastern Nigeria. Fifteen representative were studied extensively. Grain size distribution analysis revealed that soils are composed gravel (5.77-17.67% 7.01-13.65%), sand (79.90-91.01% 82.47-88.67%), fines (2.36-4.05% 3.78-5.02%) for Nnobi respectively. cohesion internal friction angle values range from 1-5 to 2-5 kPa 29-38° 30-34° respectively, which suggests have low shear strength susceptible failure. plasticity index (PI) showed they nonplastic plastic highly liquefiable with ranging 0-10 0-9% Slope stability gave safety (FoS) 0.50-0.76 0.82-0.95 saturated condition 0.73-0.98 0.87-1.04 unsaturated both respectively indicating slopes generally unstable critically stable. erosion a fifteen-year period (2005-2020) an average longitudinal 36.05 m/yr 10.76 8.57 × 10-2 1.62 10-4 higher potentials than those Nnobi.

Purpose: this work aims to analyze the factors that contributed intensification of erosion in Amazon region Buriticupu (MA) and discuss possible forms mitigation control. Methods: urban area municipality was characterized data on soil, pedology, relief, slope, use occupation, economic activities developed, as well satellite images, were collected. This information used indicators natural processes, influence human activities. Possible control solutions discussed. Results discussion: it found several aspects contribute development phenomena region, such soil type, slope hydrology. In case under study, geoenvironmental favor gullies. However, main force has been action man modifying landscape weakening soil. It is understood necessary implement articulated biogeoengineering strategies, controlling stability slopes, water flow regime, plant restoration environmental education strategies. With this, we can be successful mitigating phenomenon preserving landscape. Implications research: urgent develop shared management measures between federated entities, organized civil society local population map regulate sustainable development, especially Amazonian regions. Originality/value: some regions, (MA), advancement agricultural associated with climate change, have significantly influenced emergence gullies, which promote disappearance built environment. These gullies are treated more advanced phenomena, serious difficult remediate. Although a problem affects many regions Brazil, there still few studies aim investigate causes its appearance discussion about applied unprecedented. Agricultural accelerated degradation an debated.
