Book Description
This book represents the first comprehensive edition, in English, on the soils of Brazil, in the challenge of illustrating all the biomes of a country of truly continental dimension. In addition to presenting the first geosystemic view of Brazilian soils, in all geological, geomorphological and environmental aspects, the book also makes a key contribution to the discussion of current topics in Pedology, such as Anthrosols, Technosols, Soil Management trends and sustainability, Pedometrics and advanced techniques of digital soil mapping. The soils of Brazil were conveniently stratified into sectors and treated within the different biomes, without neglecting any area of the Brazilian territory. Considering the aspects of the landscape of occurrence, climates, geomorphology and geology, each pedological region was abundantly documented with soil profile data and many fine original, three-dimensional illustrations and diagrams, made with care by the authors. Among the regions, the most important are the forested Amazon, the Central Plateau with Cerrados, the Caatingas of the northeastern semi-arid region, the Atlantic Forest in all known variants; in addition, the Restingas, Mangroves, Oceanic Islands, Wetlands of the Pantanal and the subtropical regions of the Pampa and Matas de Araucaria. The book is of great importance as the first published work on Brazilian soils, but it is of great interest to geologists and geomorphologists who study the tropics and subtropics, due to the novelty and scope of the work.

Management of the Cerrado Soils of Brazil
Author: W. J. Goedert
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 24
Book Description
A large proportion of the world tropical region is covered by savannas, which have been little used for agriculture. Locally known as Cerrado, this ecosystem occupies about 20% of Brazilian territory. Preliminary surveys indicate that at least 50x10 ha of the cerrado are of potential use for intensive mechanized agriculture, but development has been limited by soil-related constraints. Most soils are acid and with very low naçtive fertility, especially in terms of phosphorus. Chemical barriers to root growth may cause severe yield losses during dry periods. Field crop responses to lime and fertilizers, obtained during the last 5-8 years, show that once soil-related constraints are removed, high yields can be achieved. This review gives an account of the main lines jof research which are leading to economic methods of developing the agricultural use of the cerrado, and gives future research needs.
