A study published in Catena shows how soils, landforms, and ferruginous crusts help reconstruct the evolution of a sedimentary plateau in Northeast Brazil and reveal a landscape that cannot be explained by the current semiarid climate aloneWhen we think of the...
Global study finds soil data concentrated in agricultural areas and temperate forests and warns of declining field surveys Soil profiles worldwide are essential records for understanding how soils form, how they are distributed across landscapes, and how they respond...
A newly published article in the European Journal of Soil Science argues that observing, describing, and interpreting soil profiles remains essential for understanding how soils form, function, and respond to environmental degradation. The paper, titled “Soil...
An e-book edited by Grace Bungenstab Alves brings together studies on erosion, landforms, and slope dynamics from different regions of Brazil, highlighting the contribution of geomorphology to understanding landscapes in transformation. A volume on landforms, erosion,...
In Brazil’s Northeast semiarid region—shaped by drought, strong seasonality, and often shallow soils—why do we still find Latossolos, which are deep, highly weathered profiles typically associated with wetter tropical conditions? There isn’t a single, neat answer....
