Resumo(s)

Land units have become an important mapping tool as they express similar climate, geology, soils, landforms and vegetation characteristics. They summarize all information that facilitate mapping development and can be applied at any scale. Land units are used for many purposes, such as landscape characterization and support for land evaluation processes. Hence it is important to deepen the knowledge and practice of the delimitation procedures in areas where the required information is complex and insufficient. In the present study, Lourinhã municipally was opted as a case study, where land units were mapped through geology, landforms, soils, presence of rocky outcrops and field observation. The results of 30 land units have shown the main land degradation risks, essentially associated with climate, erosion risks and flood risks. The land unit survey is therefore a support for the management needs and conservation of resources that can respond to general matters related to landscape planning but also provides support of general evaluations in the context of land capability classification
