Restauração da estrutura do solo por sequências culturais implantadas em semeadura direta, e sua relação com a erosão hídrica em distintas condições físicas de superfície Restoration of the soil structure by crop sequences established in no-till, as related to water erosion in distinct surface physical conditions

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Ciência do Solo, 2010
A estrutura do solo desempenha papel de destaque no crescimento de plantas e no controle da erosão e, por conseguinte, na produção de alimentos e na conservação do solo e da água. Considerando isso, realizou-se este trabalho com o objetivo de implementar

Nitrogen and Phosphorous Loss as Affected by Plough Direction in Rainfed Wheat Land of a Semi- Arid Region

open access: yesعلوم آب و خاک, 2020
Sloping farmlands are the major sources of soil, water and nutrient losses in arid and semi-arid regions. Information about the impacts of different tillage practices on soil erosion, nutrient loss and crop nutrient uptake on the sloping farmland of semi-

Inter-relação biomassa vegetal subterrânea-estabilidade de agregados-erosão hídrica em solo submetido a diferentes formas de manejo Interrelation of underground plant biomass with soil aggregate stability and rainfall erosion of a soil under different managements

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Ciência do Solo, 2008
O aumento da biomassa vegetal subterrânea e da estabilidade dos agregados do solo pelo seu manejo adequado aumentam sua capacidade para infiltrar água da chuva e resistir à erosão hídrica.

Reservoir theory for studying the geochemical evolution of soils [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
[1] Linking mineral weathering rates measured in the laboratory to those measured at the landscape scale is problematic. In laboratory studies, collections of minerals are exposed to the same weathering environment over a fixed amount of time. In natural

Laser‐Induced Graphene from Waste Almond Shells

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Almond shells, an abundant agricultural by‐product, are repurposed to create a fully bioderived almond shell/chitosan composite (ASC) degradable in soil. ASC is converted into laser‐induced graphene (LIG) by laser scribing and proposed as a substrate for transient electronics.

Impacts of climate change on erosion of a watershed: Simulation of scenarios

open access: yesRevista Ambiente & Água, 2011
Climate change set to occur in the coming years should have severe effects on erosion process, as factors leading to intensification of the peaks of rainfall and increasing temperature on the entire planet. Several studies have been performed to estimate
