He graduated in Agronomic Engineering from the Federal Rural University of Pernambuco (Campus Garanhuns | current UFAPE), with a specialization in Soil Microbial Genetics and Biotechnology (2012). He is a Master (2014), Doctor (2018) and Post-Doctor (2018-2019) in Soils and Plant Nutrition from the 'Luiz de Queiroz' College of Agriculture, University of São Paulo. During his PhD, he carried out a research internship at the Hawkesbury Institute for the Environment, University of Western Sydney, Australia (2018). He is an Adjunct Professor at the Department of Soil Science at the Federal University of Ceará (2019/current), Permanent Professor (2020/current) and Vice-Coordinator (2021/current) of the Postgraduate Program in Soil Science at the same university, where he conducts activities with GEMBioS: Group of studies on Soil Microbiology and Biotechnology. He is member of the Brazilian Society of Soil Science (SBCS) and Microbiology (SBM), where he works as Coordinator of the Division of Soil Processes and Properties in the Northeast region of Brazil (2020/current) and Coordinates the Soil Microbiology Area ( 2021/current), respectively. He has experience in Agronomy (Soil Science), with an emphasis on Soil Microbiology, Biochemistry and Biotechnology. Currently, he has dedicated efforts to the study of microbiomes in soils of the Brazilian semi-arid region, with emphasis on the influence of the desertification process of the Caatinga biome on soil health.

The microbiome plays a fundamental role in forest ecosystems. In addition, it is responsible for ensuring nutrient cycling and maintaining soil and trees health. However, microbiomes studies in Eucalyptus forests has not received much attention of the researchers. Moreover, the idea of removing forest residues for energy generation is being gradually accepted in Brazil, but it is straight…
Brazil has featured on the world production of Eucalyptus and is considered the largest producer of this forest essence. However, to maintain high productivity rates, the eucalyptus plantations require high application of nitrogen fertilizers in the soil. Thus, monospecific plantations can exhaust the soil N content in the course of the production cycle. In this way, mixed plantations of …
The production of wood in Brazil is growing every year and several studies have been conducted in order to obtain a cultivation system less costly and less aggressive to the environment. In this exploration, Eucalyptus species have essential role due to the intrinsic characteristics of culture. In this line described, some studies cite positive responses to make crops eucalypt and plants …
There is growing concern about sustainability of commercial eucalyptus plantations in Brazil. This is because, in 99% of the cases, these commercial plantations are monocultures. This practice can cause an imbalance of nutrient contents in soil and of nutrient cycling, e.g. we know that this crop requires high N apports after one or two rotations. Thus, the insertion of a leguminous plant…
