Brazil is considered a megadiverse country. Its 26 states are divided into five geographic regions corresponding to its significant landforms and biomes.
The later was used in order to capture the soil-landscape relationships and promote the sampling in different landforms (resulted from the interaction of soil forming factos). It has been considered as the traditional basis of variability capturing in soil surveys, historically based on dual well-...
Salt-affected soils play an important role in the Pantanal wetlands ecosystem, in Brazil, but their occurrence on higher landforms is not well understood. In order to investigate the major processes involved in salt-affected soil formation, a trench was opened in a representative transition between...
Ancient Marajoara cultures took advantage of these natural, preexisting elevated surfaces to base their communities and develop their activities, locally increasing the sizes of these fluvial landforms. This alternative interpretation suggests less cumulative labor investment in the construction of the mounds...
Wide shrubby areas (restingas, in Portuguese), lakes, mangroves, and a multitude off reshwater lagoons compose the park’s natural environments. The objective of the present study is to create an DEM that can evidence the complex dynamics of dune formation in the study area with use of ...
Motivated in part by President Donald Trump's disparaging remarks about women and the numerous claims that he committed sexual assault, American women are running for state and national office in historic numbers. At least 255 women are on the ballot as

associated potential soil loss. Although there might be decreases in soil loss associated with decreases in rainfall erosivity, the conversion of natural land cover into croplands tends to increase soil loss rates by an order of magnitude or more, if not done with effective conservation practices7...
Natural hazards are frequent in Brazil, and landslides are considered one of the most common hazards in the country [1,2,3]. They are responsible for causing losses almost every year, resulting in many economic and social problems. The high frequency of landslides in Brazil is due to natural...
map (quantitative approach) was used, and a geodiversity map (qualitative approach) was produced based on GIS procedures and tools through a counting technique and the association between landforms and, geology, soils, and hydrology, respectively. The geodiversity map showed a better correlation ...
