Morphologically differentiated Spodosols usually occur in the Coastal Plain of South Bahia and North Espírito Santo. They are found profiles known as "muçungas", i.e. sandy soils that accumulate water. In these areas, two kinds Spodosols, different from those Restinga area, can be found: with E albic horizon (white muçunungas) without this (black muçunungas). Eight soil spodic characteristics were collected described order to evaluate differences formation process Barreiras Bahia. The also...
Abstract The objective of this work was to present an approach evaluate soil functions in agroecosystems and their impact on environmental services (ES). An with case studies proposed assess the relationship between establishment management agroecosystems, three Brazilian biomes (Atlantic Forest, Cerrado, Caatinga), provision, considering specificities each area. A set parameters that can be used as indicators monitor changes agroecosystem also proposed. types most affected by were...
Advancing extensive cattle production is a major threat to biodiversity conservation in Amazonia. The dominant vegetation cover has drastic impact on soil microbial communities, affecting their composition, structure, and ecological services. Herein, we explored relationships between land-use, types, forest floor compartments the prokaryotic metacommunity structuring Western Soil samples were taken sites under high anthropogenic pressure distributed along ±800 km gradient. Additionally,...
As iniciativas de Pagamento por Serviços Ambientais com foco na água (PSA hídrico) estão se expandindo em toda a América Latina e no Brasil, sobretudo partir da criação do Programa Produtor Água, 2006, pela Agência Nacional Águas (ANA). Este estudo objetivou traçar o perfil evolução dos PSAs hídricos período 2011 2014 Brasil. foram identificadas, classificadas mapeadas quanto seu estágio atuação, base dados obtidos páginas eletrônicas entrevistas organizações não governamentais (federais,...
Climate and land use are recognized as two of the main drivers changes in soil organic carbon (SOC) on a global scale. Both factors play an important role understanding SOC sequestration mitigation climate change. Particularly important, black soils mineral with high contents natural fertility national food security. Here, we used database 90 Brazil - under different conditions across country to test hypothesis that C stock is higher wetter conditions, agricultural reduces percentage...
Abstract This study investigated the contribution of soil organic layers to bacterial diversity evaluations. We used a forest in eastern Amazon and an adjacent pasture as model systems. Distinct organo-mineral were identified floors, including litter, partially wholly decomposed material, mineral rhizospheric soils. DNA was extracted, 16S rRNA gene sequencing qPCR performed assess community structure abundance critical groups N cycle. observed clear vertical gradient composition. Species...
<p><strong>Background: </strong>Given the importance of agricultural activity for economic development state Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in this paper we assess effect environmental parameters related to soils and socioeconomic factors on performance municipalities. <strong>Objective: </strong>To identify that influence production performance, as well directions such influences (positive or negative). <strong>Methodology: </strong>A...
ABSTRACT Advancing extensive cattle production shifts the forest landscape and is considered one of main drivers against biodiversity conservation in Brazilian Amazonia. Considering soil as an ecosystem it becomes vital to identify effects land-use changes on microbial communities, structure, well its ecological functions services. Herein, we explored relationships between land-use, types floor (i.e., association litter, root layer bulk soil) prokaryotic metacommunity structuring Western...
