Modelling pedogenesis of Technosols

open access: yesGeoderma, 2016
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.

Leaf leachates as a factor in pedogenesis

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 1955
AbstractThe phenomena of iron reduction and migration, which are characteristic of gley and podsolized soils, are generally regarded as being caused by the action of the humose upper horizons normally present in these soils.In this paper are given the results of an investigation of the properties of water extracts of unhumified plant debris; from the ...

Using deep learning to assess the toxicological effects of sublethal exposure of a novel green pesticide in a stored-product beetle. [PDF]

open access: yesPest Manag Sci
This study employs an AI‐driven multidisciplinary approach to increase our understanding of the toxicological effects of sublethal concentrations of carlina oxide on Prostephanus truncatus. Sublethal exposure to the carlina oxide induced changes in motor patterns and thigmotaxis, highlighting its potential role in integrated pest management strategies.

Global Warming and Mass Extinctions Associated With Large Igneous Province Volcanism

open access: yesGeophysical Monograph Series, Page 83-102., 2021

Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact

An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Role of Arthropods in Maintaining Soil Fertility

open access: yesAgriculture, 2013
In terms of species richness, arthropods may represent as much as 85% of the soil fauna. They comprise a large proportion of the meso- and macrofauna of the soil.

Micromorfologia e gênese de luvissolos e planossolos desenvolvidos de rochas metamórficas no semi-árido brasileiro Micromorphology and genesis of luvisols and planosols developed from metamorphic rocks in the Brazilian semiarid region

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Ciência do Solo, 2008
Apesar da ocorrência comum de Luvissolos e Planossolos nas áreas de rochas do Pré-Cambriano na região semi-árida do Brasil, há poucas informações disponíveis sobre a micromorfologia e a gênese desses solos.

Estudo da relação pedomorfogeológica na distribuição de solos com horizontes B textural e B nítico na paisagem de Lavras (MG) Study of the relationship pedo-geomorphological in the soil distribution with argillic horizons in the landscape of Lavras (MG), Brazil

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Ciência do Solo, 2008
O entendimento das relações entre geologia, geomorfologia e pedologia auxilia nas atividades de classificação dos solos e na avaliação da distribuição pedológica de uma área. Este trabalho foi motivado pela escassez de estudos dessa natureza na região de
