This book represents the first comprehensive edition, in English, on the soils of Brazil, in the challenge of illustrating all the biomes of a country of truly continental dimension. In addition to presenting the first geosystemic view of Brazilian soils, in all geological, geomorphological and environmental aspects, the book also makes a key contribution to the discussion of current topics in Pedology, such as Anthrosols, Technosols, Soil Management trends and sustainability, Pedometrics and advanced techniques of digital soil mapping. The soils of Brazil were conveniently stratified into sectors and treated within the different biomes, without neglecting any area of the Brazilian territory...
Sustainable agricultural practices are needed to provide food security for a growing global population. Food production is usually associated with high nutrient inputs in the form of mineral fertilizers. Since the beginning of agriculture, such practices have led to soil degradation and the release of environmental contaminants. In this Special Issue, we will focus on innovations in organic and inorganic fertilizer production. We welcome studies concerning new approaches for smart fertilizer development, including bioformulations with mineral particles, nanomaterials, and plant growth promoting microorganisms. We especially encourage authors taking advantage of ecological interactions to imp...
Few books on statistical data analysis in the natural sciences are written at a level that a non-statistician will easily understand. This is a book written in colloquial language, avoiding mathematical formulae as much as possible, trying to explain statistical methods using examples and graphics instead. To use the book efficiently, readers should have some computer experience. The book starts with the simplest of statistical concepts and carries readers forward to a deeper and more extensive understanding of the use of statistics in environmental sciences. The book concerns the application of statistical and other computer methods to the management, analysis and display of spatial data. T...
Sobre a obra Tributação e Desigualdade Pós-Pandemia – 1a Ed – 2023 "Periodicamente o ICET promove a pesquisa sobre temas relevantes de Direito Tributário, na intenção de colaborar com o aprimoramento da ordem jurídica. Desta feita, o Instituto escolheu estudar tributação e desigualdade, assunto longamente maturado em reuniões de trabalho nas quais o professor Hugo de Brito Machado reitera sua preocupação com a desigualdade social que existe em nosso País. Há muito Hugo Machado preconiza medidas tendentes a reduzir a regressividade do sistema tributário, como a instituição do Imposto sobre Grandes Fortunas – IGF, a efetiva progressividade dos impostos patrimoniais, a re...
Marine environment is the largest habitat covering approximately 70% of the total earth surface. Oceans are the main regulatory agent of earth’s climate and harbour a huge diversity of living organisms. Marine environment provide a unique ecological niche to different microbes which play a significant role in nutrient recycling as well as various environmental activities. However with rapid industrialization, urbanisation, ship trafficking and mining activities enormous amounts of waste including heavy metals, hydrocarbons, chemicals, dyes, organic load, agriculture waste, pesticides, antifoulants (e.g. tributyltin) and bacterial pathogens have accumulated in marine/estuarine environments ...
An exploration of the most complex microbial ecosystems with incisive reviews of developments in soil science. It presents techniques of chemical analysis, refinements of environmental protection measures, and methods for maximizing agricultural yields. It also addresses a wide range of biochemical processes and practical applications of advanced biotechnologies.
The globally important nature of wetland ecosystems has led to their increased protection and restoration as well as their use in engineered systems. Underpinning the beneficial functions of wetlands are a unique suite of physical, chemical, and biological processes that regulate elemental cycling in soils and the water column. This book provides an in-depth coverage of these wetland biogeochemical processes related to the cycling of macroelements including carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur, secondary and trace elements, and toxic organic compounds. In this synthesis, the authors combine more than 100 years of experience studying wetlands and biogeochemistry to look inside the black b...
El libro contiene las ponencias presentadas en las dos primeras ediciones del Seminario Internacional de Jóvenes Investigadores en Historia Moderna, celebradas en la Universidad de Alicante, bajo la dirección de Adrián García Torres, Rosa Tribaldos Soriano y la Mar García Arenas y con el fundamental apoyo del Área de Historia Moderna de dicha universidad. Los trabajos contenidos en esta obra, suponen una muestra del esfuerzo que en los últimos años se está realizando por parte de una nueva generación de modernistas, todos ellos procedentes de diferentes universidades públicas españolas punteras durante años en las líneas de investigación que en estas desarrollan. Como resultado, nos encontramos con una contribución que abraza tanto el territorio de la Península Ibérica como la América hispana y ofrece nuevos enfoques en materia de historia política, social, económica, eclesiástica y de género.
