1. Study of soils used with subgrade and sub-ballast in Brazilian railways
Abstract Brazil has an extremely limited railroad network compared to other developed and developing countries. There are projects to expand this mesh. Knowing that the cost of implementing a railroad is high, research for solutions that allow cost reduction is of great importance. But the parameters of the materials used in the subgrade and sub-ballast laye

2. Spectroscopic techniques combined with chemometrics to study organic matter in tropical soils with different degrees of pedogenetic evolution
Understanding of the organomineral interactions in soil can elucidate the humic substances (HS) formation and the humification process. This study aimed to structurally characterize the humic acids (HA) formed in tropical soils with different pedogenesis degrees. The HA fraction was extracted from soil samples in the superficial horizons of an Inceptisol and

3. Settlement of bored piles with expander body system in lateritic soils
Abstract The Expander Body pile (EB) is a combination of a cast-in-situ pile method with an inflated, pump-grouted tip. The EB system's pioneering conjunction with the conventional drilling pile technique has improved work load, foundation security, cost reductions and abrupt displacements in lateritic, porous, unsaturated soils. The aim of this article is t

4. Organic Matter Leached from Tropical Soils by Simulated Rain, Hard (NaOH) and Soft (NaNO3) Extractions: A Realistic Study about Risk Assessment in Soils
Alkaline extractions from humic material are used to risk assessment in soils. However, there are questions about the type of extraction most suitable for this evaluation. Thus, this work evaluated different soil extractions in search of realistic environmental conditions (simulated rain). The parameters obtained revealed significant differences between the

5. CHLORDECONE ADSORPTION ON FUNCTIONALIZED ACTIVATED CARBONS: COMPUTATIONAL CHEMISTRY AS A TOOL FOR UNDERSTANDING THE ADSORPTION PROCESS
Chlordecone (CLD) has been used as a pesticide for a long time to control the proliferation of various insects in tropical countries like the French West Indies. CLD was included in 2009 in the list of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) by the Stockholm Convention, prohibiting its production and use worldwide. Thus, its removal from water and soils is a sa

6. Effects of different legume green manures on tropical soil microbiology after corn harvest
ABSTRACT Legume green manure is a popular practice for sustainable agriculture in tropical environments. The use of grain, forage and purely green manure legumes in a subhumid tropical area in Northeast Brazil was investigated to determine the total C and N contents and estimate C-microbial biomass, soil basal respiration, microbial and metabolic quotients,

7. APLICAÇÃO DE NANOPARTÍCULAS DE FERRO ZERO-VALENTE (nFeZ) NA REMEDIAÇÃO DE SOLOS E ÁGUAS SUBTERRÂNEAS CONTAMINADAS: UMA REVISÃO
The remediation of contaminated soil and water is a relevant topic, being the focus of intense research. The use of nanoparticles to degrade contaminants has been consolidated as a sustainable remediation technology, with promising results worldwide. In this scenario, the zero-valent iron nanoparticles (nZVI) which, due to their properties, prove to be an im

8. Interrill erodibility of different sandy soils increases along a catena in the Caiuá Sandstone Formation
ABSTRACT Soil erosion in tropical areas is a major problem for sustainability in agriculture and soil stability. In the Northwest of Paraná, cassava crop is produced using a conventional tillage system along a catena consisting of different soil classes: Ferralsols (near the summit), Lixisols (mid-slope), and Arenosols (foot-slope). Therefore, differential

9. Estimation of soil phosphorus availability via visible and near-infrared spectroscopy
ABSTRACT: Spectroscopic techniques have great potential to evaluate soil properties. However, there are still questions regarding the applicability of spectroscopy to analyze soil phosphorous (P) availability, especially in tropical soils with low nutrient contents. Therefore, this study evaluated the possibility to estimate P availability in soil and its po

10. Free-living diazotrophs drive castor bean nitrogen input in tropical semiarid soils
RESUMO: Existem poucos estudos sobre a diversidade microbiana em solos de mamona no ambiente semiárido tropical. Os produtos de mamona têm sido amplamente utilizados em todo o mundo e justificam a importância comercial da ricinocultura no semiárido nordestino brasileiro. Como não há qualquer tipo de fertilização, ou manutenção de resíduos da cult

11. Conversion of ammonium to nitrate and abundance of ammonium-oxidizing-microorganism in Tropical soils with nitrification inhibitor
ABSTRACT The use of nitrification inhibitors (NIs; dicyandiamide - DCD) is an alternative to reduce oxidation of ammonium (NH4+-N) to nitrate (NO3–-N) in the soil, reducing NO3–-N losses from fertilization practices. Based on the hypothesis that DCD reduces conversion of NH4+-N to NO3–-N in tropical soils and inhibits ammonia oxidizing microorganisms (

12. Synthesis of enriched biochar as a vehicle for phosphorus in tropical soils
RESUMO O fósforo (P) é um dos nutrientes que mais limita a produtividade agrícola, principalmente em solos tropicais. Biocarvão enriquecido tem sido proposto com o intuito de incrementar a biodisponibilidade de P e de outros nutrientes no solo. Assim, objetivou-se avaliar a disponibilidade do fósforo em biocarvão fosfatado (composto de biomassa e solo)
