Agriculture plays a crucial role in tackling climate change, which is one of the biggest challenges of the 21st century. In addition to the climate issue, efficient waste management, in which the urban and mineral sectors play an essential role, will be fundamental in pursuing sustainable development. In this context, this project is based on the hypothesis that it is possible to reuse ci…
The environmental disaster that occurred after the collapse of the Samarco mining company's tailings dam in Mariana - MG in 2015 had a major impact on the environment and people's lives, exposing them to potentially harmful elements (PHEs). These elements can generate diseases in the medium and long term, and for this reason, it is necessary to ensure health surveillance in this populatio…
Brazil is one of the world's largest producers and exporters of food, feed, fiber and (bio)fuel. Estimates indicated that the country would need to increase food production in 40% to meet global demands by 2050. Meanwhile, tropical agricultural systems have to be important allies to sequester carbon (C) and reduce greenhouse gases emission, and consequently, contribute to mitigating clima…
Iron (Fe) mining plays a crucial role in the global economy. However, the - increasingly frequent - failures of dams containing mining tailings require environmentally safe and economically sustainable solutions. The mining tailings deposition over natural and agricultural ecosystems raises concerns about risks to human health, especially in estuarine environments, where the dissolution o…
Soils and plants at the Rio Doce estuary were impacted by mine tailings derived upstream from the collapse of the Fundão Dam in Mariana (MG) in 2015, which is considered one of the largest environmental disasters worldwide. The mine tailings consist predominantly of iron (Fe) oxides, which may undergo oxidation and reduction (redox) processes given the physical-chemical fluctuating condit…
Heavy metals in mine tailings and the tailing affected soils, sediments, and water body are world-wide concerns due to their adverse effects to the environments, animal and human health. Iron oxides are among the most important minerals that control the heavy metals dynamic in the environment. Because of their small particle size, large surface area, and common isomorphic substitute, thes…

Nature-based solutions have gained increasing prominence in combating climate change, given their effectiveness and scalability. In this regard, the use of rock powders (i.e., ground silicate minerals, agrominerals) has been encouraged in agriculture because of the co-benefits they offer to crops and soil, as well as their role in the geological sequestration of carbon dioxide through min…
This project aims to enhance the communication of scientific findings to the public. A JC4 fellow will collaborate with scientists to create accessible scientific texts. The journalist will ensure the final versions of the website, eBooks, booklets, which encapsulate the state of the art and key research and innovation results of the CCARBON team, are comprehensible and engaging for an au…
Mangrove ecosystems play a crucial role in providing essential ecosystem services to the environment and human communities. These ecosystems are characterized by soils with high levels and stocks of soil organic carbon (TOC and SOC stocks, respectively), making them one of the largest carbon reservoirs on the planet. However, the looming threat of climate change poses significant risks to…

Mangroves and other coastal wetlands (e.g., seagrass and salt marshes) constitute the so-called Blue Carbon environments, a term referring to the potential of these ecosystems in the sequestration and storage of C, mainly in their soils. In this sense, initiatives that encourage the protection and recovery of mangroves are considered key elements in the fight against climate change. Howev…
The economic exploitation of iron mining tailings is an alternative to their disposal in dams, which are structures that are at risk of rupture. Phytomining, a green technology based on the accumulation of the metal of interest in the biomass of a plant to produce bio-ore, can be a strategy. The species Typha domingensis ("cattail") is widely known for accumulating several metals, being a…
Mangroves are coastal ecosystems widely recognized for its provided ecosystem services, for instance, global warming mitigation, which led to the creation of Blue Carbon term. However, this ecosystem is among the most impacted by extreme weather events (increased hotter or colder days frequency, lower rainfall, and inputs freshwater in estuarine regions). These impacts may affect short-te…

The chemical composition of the soil of the Rio Doce estuary was affected after the input of Fe-rich tailing from the Fundão dam burst in 2015. Since then, studies have been carried out on the role of Fe oxyhydroxides on the dynamics and bioavailability of potentially toxic elements (PTE) under a redox-active environment. The solid phase distribution of Fe and PTE has been determined usin…
Iron mining (Fe) is one of the most important economic activities and population growth, rising global average income and changes in the energy matrix have increased the demand for metals. Brazil is the second largest producer of Fe in the world, more than half of the existing dams in the country are classified as "high risk" or with "high potential for associated damage". In this sense, …
Catastrophic rupture of dams containing mine have been increasing worldwide and rising environmental pollution. Phytomining is a plant-based technology with great potential to decrease the threats associated with mine tailings spills and to provide potential economical rewards through bio-ore production. Although iron (Fe) ore is the major ore globally produced, generating large amounts o…
