The diagnostic anthropic A horizon in the Brazilian Soil Classification System (SiBCS) and the Pretic horizon in the World Reference Base for Soil Resources (WRB) comprise the surface mineral genetic horizons of soils formed under strong influence of original indigenous communities for ...

Soil organic carbon (SOC) is intrinsically linked to global carbon balance, climate change mitigation, soil health, and agricultural productivity. Therefore, obtaining accurate information on the spatial-temporal of the soil organic carbon stock (SOCS) is essential. We proposed a four-dimensional (4D)...

Soil is the largest terrestrial carbon reservoir and can be a source or sink of CO2 for the atmosphere, depending on management practices. CO2 emissions from the soil surface (FCO2) are directly related to the biological and physicochemical soil properties. Our objective was to...

Muitas das tecnologias desenvolvidas para a cultura do pimentão estão voltadas para a melhoria da produtividade e da aparência dos frutos sem considerar aspectos como sabor, valor nutricional e resíduos tóxicos remanescentes. O presente trabalho teve como objetivos avaliar o efeito de p...

The proper use of agro-industrial waste is a sustainability strategy and can be applied in the forestry chain to replace polypropylene tubes. This study evaluated the performance of three different biodegradable containers (110 cm3), made from malt bagasse, poultry litter, and coconut c...

Soil saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ksat) and steady-state infiltration rate (SSIR) are essential and necessary soil properties for different geoscience applications. Values of these hydraulic properties for the Brazilian territory are difficult to access and are dispersed in research efforts carri...

The sustainability of life on Earth is under increasing threat due to human-induced climate change. This perilous change in the Earth's climate is caused by increases in carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, primarily due to emissions associated with burning&#...

Tem-se como objetivo verificar o potencial de fitorremediação das macrófitas Eichhornia crassipes e Pistia stratiotes, cultivadas em diferentes concentrações de chumbo em ambiente aquático, buscando indicar qual a melhor espécie para tal processo.

O aumento previsto da população mundial e da consequente demanda por alimentos pressionará os limitados recursos terrestres e hídricos globais com severas repercussões para a segurança mundial. Some-se a isso, o esperado agravamento dos sistemas alimentares em função das mudanças climáticas ...
