Abstract: The main purpose of this study was to estimate the vegetal cover
index, through visual estimation, for a sand-extraction disturbed area, on Rio Grande
basis, Ribeiro Vermelho County, Minas Gerais state. The soil recover index was
estimated based on visual analysis, using metal squares of 0.4 x 0.4 meters. The
percentage of narrow leaves was grater (72%) than wide leaves (28%), meaning that
grass and ciperaceae represented the dominant vegetation in the area. The visual
technique used to estimate the soil recover index was suitable for this study, besides
of been a qualitative and subjective methodology. The experimental area was 2340
square meters, with 84% represented by some kind of vegetation.
Key words: visual estimation; recuperation; soil recover.
