“…Between 1988 and 2008, the vast majority of areas with declivity above 20% (200 ha), which were occupied with corn cultivated under conventional tillage were replaced by coffee and reforestation crops (Figure 5), which resulted in a reduction of 146.50 Mg year -1 in soil losses. Temporary crops grown in the steepest areas can make the soil more susceptible to runoff, and therefore these areas should be a priority for the adoption of erosion mitigation measures and for planning the appropriate land use in order to reduce the erosion process (BESKOW et al, 2009;CHEN et al, 2019;LENSE et al, 2020 , Brazil, in the years 1988, Brazil, in the years , 1998, Brazil, in the years , 2008, Brazil, in the years and 2018 The study pointed out that, despite the soil loss reduction, high erosion rates still occur in the study area, mainly on access roads and corn cultivation (Figure 4 -2018). Therefore, to ensure the long-term sustainability of the production system, soil conservation practices should be expanded, even to site with very slight erosion.…”
