Soil health is typically evaluated using physical, chemical, and biological parameters. However, identifying cost-effective interpretable metrics remains a challenge. The effectiveness of ecological outcome verification (EOV) in predicting soil grazing lands was assessed at 22 ranches. Sixty-four samples were analyzed the Haney test (HSHT) phospholipid fatty acid (PLFA). Of 104 variables, 13 retained following principal component analysis (PCA), including variables associated with plant...
Soil pH and base saturation are important parameters for evaluating the effects of acidity on plant growth. However, relationship between soil (V%) has been poorly studied in Brazil. The aim this study was to evaluate influence cation exchange capacity (CEC) soils Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, using a database consisting 30,244 analyses collected from 0–0.2- 0.2–0.4-m depths. CEC at 7 analyzed varied 3.4 40.5 cmolc·dm-3 were grouped into four classes (< 6, 6–10, 10–20, > 20 cmolc·dm-3) each...
Abstract Accurate and less laborious estimates of forage biomass are needed for research management decisions in grazing lands. Our objective was to develop linear regressions estimate using canopy height both native rangelands introduced bermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.] pastures the Cross Timbers Southern Tallgrass Prairie Ecoregion. Twelve averaging 26 acres each were equally distributed two ranches located Love County, Oklahoma. The comprise tall- mid-grasses along with forbs...
Phytoremediation techniques and stabilization of heavy metals with municipal sewage sludge (SW) in soils are usually studied separately. We aimed to verify the potential combined use phytoextraction method metal SW recovery soil high Pb content (total = 28,650 mg kg−1 exchangeable 1,120 kg−1) effect association these two on fractions (stabilization). have tested five doses (0; 13.4; 26.7; 53.4; 106.8 Mg ha−1) three cultivation conditions (uncultivated, black oats forage turnip). The...
Context In no-tillage systems, surficial lime application may induce an alkalinisation front that can correct soil acidity with depth and impact crop yields. Aims Our objective was to determine maintenance liming rates provide the highest yield of soybean corn in different rotations assess speed persistence a system. Methods The experiment conducted Southern Brazil on clayey Oxisol under four treatments (0, 3.5, 5.7, 11.1 Mg ha−1 dolomitic lime) three (for grain or biomass production). Grain...
Purpose Vehicular road traffic may represent an important soil and plant contamination source. In this context, the concentration of heavy metals (Cd, Pb, As, Sb, Ni, Cu, Fe, Al, Mn Zn) macronutrients (Ca, Mg, K P) was evaluated in yerba mate ( Ilex paraguariensis St. Hil.) cultivations soils adjacent to highways. Design/methodology/approach The investigated were located southern Brazil. Plant tissue (young old leaves branches) (0–10 cm) samples collected at five distances from highway...
Amazonian Dark Earths (ADEs) are highly fertile soils in areas with predominance of unfertile soils. However, the variation nutrient availability between regions and resilience ADEs to modern agricultural use is still little known, particularly regarding micronutrient contents. Hence, present study synthesized current information ADE impacts on extractable (Cu, Ni, Fe, Mn, Zn, B) contents at different soil depths assessed detail role both depth land-use type Cu, Mn Zn nine adjacent (ADJ)...
Lettuce (Lactuca sativa) is the main leafy vegetable produced in Brazil. Since its production widespread all over country, lettuce traceability and quality assurance hampered. In this study, we propose a new method to identify geographical origin of Brazilian lettuce. The uses powerful data mining technique called support vector machines (SVM) applied elemental composition soil properties samples analyzed. We investigated São Paulo Pernambuco, two states southeastern northeastern regions...
Our aim was to assess the mineral composition of corn silages produced in four states Brazil: Goiás, Minas Gerais, Paraná, and Santa Catarina. In total, seventy-three samples were analyzed. Total element content extracted by HNO3 H2O2 microwave-assisted digestion, inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) used determine concentration. Of 31 elements analyzed (Ag, Al, As, B, Ba, Be, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cs, Cu, Fe, K, Li, Mg, Mn, Mo, Na, Ni, P, Pb, [...]
Based on previous reports, our study aimed to obtain the first estimate contribution of termite mounds CH4 emissions in Brazilian Cerrado pastures. We estimated that occupy an area larger than 200,000 ha degraded pastures, important loss grazing considering current scenario land-use change pastures other crops Brazil. Moreover, mound-building termites may be responsible for greater 11 Mt CO2 eq. yr−1, [...]
Abstract Many Brazilian forest industries use wood biomass as a sustainable energy source that generates ash by-product. This residue is typically discarded in nearby planted forests. To evaluate the effects of rates on Pinus taeda L. growth, study was established high clay soil 2006. Five (0, 10, 20, 40, and 80 T ha−1) were applied to P. system. Soil chemical properties evaluated three times at different depths. Tree growth (i.e., height, diameter breast commercial volume) nutrition (needle...
A aplicação de lodo esgoto alcalino em solos agrícolas aumentou, mas as implicações nutricionais para culturas ainda são pouco exploradas. Com o objetivo avaliar efeito do alcalinizado na nutrição e crescimento feijoeiro (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), foi realizado experimento casa vegetação com três Latossolos tipos esgoto. Amostras (texturas franca, muito argilosa argilosa) foram coletadas regiões geologicamente distintas estado Paraná, Brasil: arenito, basalto argilito. estabilizadas calcário...
Fertilization can be a sustainable management practice for the maintenance of threatened species such as Araucaria angustifolia. Our objective was to evaluate elemental composition A. angustifolia fertilized with N, P, and K, how fertilization altered soil fertility. Seven-month-old seedlings were transplanted 16 dm3 pots, three experiments carried separately (one each cited element) in completely randomized design. Overall, tended accumulate nutrients differently among compartments...
