Leaf-cutter ants belonging to the genus Atta are important ecosystem engineers and
conspicuous bioturbators in Neotropical regions acting as superorganisms. The Atta ants …

Parent material is one of the five factors in soil formation. Studies on parent material allow
interpreting soil genesis processes and improve our knowledge of specific soil attributes …

The soil water retention curve (SWRC) and soil hydraulic conductivity (K) are important soil
hydraulic properties. In Oxisols, the degree of microaggregation depends on the amount of …

Conventional soil mapping is costly and time consuming. Therefore, the development of
quick, cheap, but accurate methods is required. Several studies highlight the importance of …

This study combined proximal sensors and soil analyses for the assessment of a 4.5-m deep
Oxisol representative of southeastern Brazil. The soil was derived from gneiss. Soil samples …

Large termite mounds, regionally called Murundus, forming hillocks throughout the Brazilian
territory, occur, with different names, across the entire tropical belt. Little is known about the …

Abstract Structure and porous geometry are dynamic soil parameters that control several soil
processes and functions. This study details the differences in the structure of typical Oxisols …

Os fenômenos terrestres vêm sendo, a cada dia, mais bem compreendidos com a adoção
de uma abordagem multi e interdisciplinar, por meio da integração do estudo das diversas …

Objetivou-se neste trabalho caracterizar diferentes solos por espectrorradiometria de
reflectância ao longo de uma topossequência na região de Piracicaba, SP. Amostras de …

Although the physical environment of the Atlantic Forest realm is well known, studies on the
soil-landform relationships are fundamental to improve the management of soil resources to …
