Abstract The continual changes in soil use and cover due to anthropic activity influence parameters that contribute to soil quality, such as its temperature. This is an important factor in maintaining soil integrity and ensuring its sustainability. Based on multi-temporal images of the Landsat satellite, the aim is to determine the variation in surface temperature due to changes in land use and different types of soil in the region of Piracicaba, located in the State of São Paulo, over a period of 25 years (1980-2015). This procedure aims to evaluate the impacts of anthropic changes and to explain the relation of the soil to the surface temperature. | |
