Ectomycorrhizal fungi (fECM) combined with the plant root system improve the absorption of water and nutrients, providing great plant growth, especially in environments with nutritional deficiency or degraded. Due to the ...

Research on digital soil mapping (DSM) in Brazil is subject to the existence of legacy soil data obtained through conventional methods for extrapolation of soil-landscape relations. In areas with no available soil maps, ...

The models based on spatially distributed processes describe erosion and sediment yield using a physical approach of the mechanisms. In general, these models require high quality input data, description of the landscape, ...

Areas at steep slopes in the catchments with high occupation by family farmers in Southern Brazil, even with a high surface covered with regenerated forests, are characterized by the persistence of sources of rural and ...

This work uses remote sensing (RS) and geographic information system (GIS) techniques for the support of irrigation management and crop monitoring of center pivot irrigated areas with particular emphasis on the estimation ...

The change in land use is an important factor affecting soil C stocks and their distribution in the soil profile. The conversion of native vegetation (NV) for agricultural systems causes a sharp decline in carbon storage ...

The use of fire as pasture management has been object of intense argue, although it has many effects in soil and environment quality. In the ground, the most expressive effect occurs on the organic matter (OM), by combustion, ...

Fungi are organisms that have high importance as they are the primary decomposers of all terrestrial ecosystems and have critical ecological functions in nutrient cycling and associations with other organisms. Metabolic ...

The agricultural activities generate an impact on the environment that needs constant study to improve the understanding of the ways, levels and implantation of litigator practices of contamination. The study of contaminants ...

The effect of pig slurry (PS) injection into the soil and nitrification inhibitor use such as dicyandiamide (DCD) on gaseous N losses to the atmosphere is better documented than the effect of these practices on nitrogen ...
