Soil is fundamental to the global production of biomass and an important carbon reservoir, both due to its size and to the possibility of manipulation through agricultural practices. Sandy soils, that is, those with a sandy surface texture (less than 15% clay) cover 25% of São Paulo's territory. Among them, Neossolos Quartzarenicos stand out for their low capacity to retain moisture and n…
The regolith is defined as the weathered material in between unweathered rock and atmosphere. The regolith is the medium of most of the land human activity and sustains the water and nutrient flux for terrestrial ecosystems. The regolith is further split into soil and saprolite. Soil is made of mineral and organic materials, water and gases, while saprolite is basically a mixture of prima…
The project aims to apply the knowledge about the clay pillaring process to sinthesize Hydroxy interlayered 2:1 (HI2:1), usually found in small amount in tropical soils. These minerals show variable intercalation degree (ID), and the reasons for that are not yet well known.Phyllosilicates 2:1 HI will be sinthesized in controled conditions using standards from the Clay and Clay Minerals So…
Strategies to cope with climate change are urgent, particularly for fragile ecosystems such as those developed on sandy soils (those with 15% or less clay). These soils have a small capacity for biomass production because they have a small amount of clay, limiting their capacity to store nutrientes (CEC), water (WRC) and carbon. Prolonged periods of drought, the greater frequency of which…
Sandy soils are particularly ecologically and agronomically due, in large part, to the scarcity of clay, which results in their poor water and nutrient storage capacity. With the popularization of the use of silicate agrominerals in Brazil, the application of clayey geological materials to increase the clay content in sandy soils may become feasible. Although the 1% increase in the clay c…
It is true that Brazil, being a country of continental proportions and basically a tropical country, is conducive to the weathering process of their soils, which are generally acidic and poor in nutrients. In this experiment, a sandy sample from Agudos - SP will be used, in which soils with this texture present intense leaching, favoring the loss of soluble fertilizers synthetics. In orde…

Depleted soils represent a long-standing problem in Brazil, with a highlight on degraded pastures, which demands the development of technologies capable of restoring them in a sustainable way. In parallel, the accumulation of mining overburden is a challenge for environmental management and mining sustainability, which is not used because it is not the economic target of the extraction, a…
Mining overburden consists of earth materials (rocks, saprolite, soil, etc.) on top of the target mineral resource and requires removal during the open-pit mining process. In São Paulo State, Brazil, rocks mined for aggregate production are mafic igneous intrusions within pre-Jurassic-Cretaceous sedimentary formations, which are regarded as mining overburden. These sedimentary formations …
