MORELL, F; HERNANDEZ, A  and  LOPEZ, D. FINCA LA ROSITA. II: FACTORES LIMITANTES DE LOS SUELOS. cultrop [online]. 2008, vol.29, n.2, pp. 17-20. ISSN 0258-5936.

At present, there is a tendency to confuse different limiting factors, which are intrinsic to the soil due to its own process of formation, with the process of degradation provoked by the anthropic action; it is an essential aspect that should be considered when characterizing and classifying soils. Based on a study conducted after establishing a Reference Sector and the joint application of a Geographic Information System, the main limiting factors were determined and characterized in La Rosita farm soils, as well as the surface area (ha and %) taken up. The farm is located in Habana del Este at the City of Havana. It was obtained that the most important limiting factors in this location were: effective depth, degree of erosion, organic matter and slope

Keywords : soil; edaphic factors; erosion; environmental factors.
