Pedogenesis problems on reclaimed coal mining sites
Open-cast coal mining presents a big global issue because of the large areas the mines occupy, which get entirely changed. Their ecosystems lose most of their functions, and a huge amount of fertile soil gets utterly destroyed.

Modelling pedogenesis of Technosols
Technosols, soils subjected to a strong human influence and containing significant amounts of artefacts, are characteristic of the Anthropocene. In order to better apprehend their growing importance in our current environment, our knowledge of the evolution and fate of these soils must be improved.

Pedogenesis shapes predator-prey relationships within soil microbiomes.
Pedogenesis determines soil physicochemical properties and many biodiversity facets, including belowground microbial bacteria and fungi. At the local scale, top-down predation by microbial protists regulates the soil microbiome, while the microbiome also

The concept “soil biophysical fertility: theoretical and applied support” [PDF]
In terms of the theory of elementary pedogenetic processes, the pedogenetic process represents the totality of the integration processes of abiotic and biotic matter in the composition of the basic soil matter, which represents the first level of ...

Andic properties in soils with histic horizon “O” in the highlands of Southern Brazil [PDF]
Soils with andic properties are characterized by a low apparent density, variable charges, large amounts of allophanes, imogolite, ferrihydrite, and/or organo-metallic complexes with Al, and present high phosphate retention.

Alluvial soil formation in the plains of northeastern Brazil [PDF]
Soils in alluvial plains of the lower course of the Acaraú River, Ceará State, Brazil, are weakly developed and have a complex distribution in the landscape. This study reports the pedogenic characterization of such soils in an effort to understand their
