Resumen
Descripción
The Soils and Geology field trip was conducted last March in the department of Casanare at Finca La Isla, an area with a rich history of cattle ranching. The research was divided into three phases: in Phase I, background information was gathered on the area, including soil-forming factors, natural and anthropogenic hazards, and changes in land use. In Phase II, observational methods, such as the auger method and the trunk method, were applied to identify soil horizons and collect physical and chemical data. Finally, in Phase III, the information collected was processed and analyzed, evaluating the land use capacity of the soil. Finca La Isla was found to have a land use capacity class VI, which indicates severe limitations for agricultural activities. Sustainable management practices, such as agroforestry systems and rotational grazing, are recommended to optimize land use and minimize use conflicts. This qualitative methodology provided a preliminary view of soil condition, and quantitative laboratory analysis is needed to support conclusions and promote sustainable environmental engineering decisions.
