Análise da vegetação nativa de alguns taludes nos bairros de João Pessoa - PB e a implantação da proteção superficial na comunidade Saturnino de Brito utilizando arachis repens, conhecida como grama amendoim amarela

Abstract

Slopes occur on any inclined surface when compared to the horizontal reference plane (HRP), which can be naturally or artificially formed. Therefore, the occurrence of erosion on slopes is caused by the impact of raindrops. In this context, the present study aims to understand the main impacts of analyzing the native vegetation on some slopes in the neighborhoods of João Pessoa - PB and the implementation of surface protection in the Saturnino de Brito Community using Arachis repens, known as Yellow Peanut Grass. Thus, the research is descriptive and experimental, as the types of vegetation found on the slopes in the city of João Pessoa were described. In the experimental part, Yellow Peanut Grass was planted along a stretch of the mentioned community from August 2024 to March 2025. For this, 4 m² of seedlings, representing 100 units of vegetation, were acquired and planted on the slope. The first results were observed after two months of monitoring, and at the end of the observation, we concluded that the planting of the seedlings on the slope was successful, as the applied vegetation reached the necessary clustering peak to prevent potential erosive processes in the studied area. Finally, it is important to emphasize that the absence of this vegetative cover application can cause irreparable damage to the soil and the surrounding population of the community.
