FREE HORTALIZES PLANTING SYSTEM: Agroecological transition method as a tool for soil conservation, reduced climate impacts and increased productivity
ARCANGELO LOSS, Guilherme; Wilbert Ferreira; Jucinei José Comin (UFSC) Soil conservation is a prominent theme for Brazil, given its role as agricultural power and diversity of biomes. However, inadequate soil management practices, deforestation and fragmented public policies have intensified the processes of soil degradation and erosion. National Soil and Water Conservation Day, celebrated on April […]
SBCS celebrated the National Land Conservation Day of 2025 with a live public policies that we all need to know, publicize and study. You can review on the SBCS channel on YouTube.
Among the 121 projects approved in the announcement of the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation that finances the creation of one hundred new National Institutes of Science, Technology and Innovation – Incts, only two are from the soil area and were approved by partners of SBCS. Professor Clistenes Williams Araujo do Nascimento, from the […]
Soils of Brazil via spectroscopy: science, teaching and application
Over the course of three decades of work, the Brazilian Soil Spectral Library (BESB) has consolidated itself as a milestone in soil science. Created in the 1990s, it was effectively implemented in 2019 (Demattêtetal., 2019) by the group Geotechnologies in Soil Science (Geocis) of the Luiz de Queiroz Higher School of Agriculture (ESALQ/USP). BESB involved […]

Mechanized harvesting of a Pinus taeda L. forest does not impair the physical properties of a Nitossolo Bruno
HIGHLIGHTS The physical properties of the Nitossolo Bruno showed small changes between the pine forest area and the post-harvest forest area. Mechanized harvesting in the forest area does not compromise the soil water properties to a depth of 40 centimeters. The Nitossolo Bruno maintains its structural integrity even after the forest mechanical harvesting operations. ABSTRACT […]
Nutrient uptake and removal by runner peanut cultivars of different maturity groups
HIGHLIGHTS Late-maturing cultivar had higher biomass yield, uptake, and removal of nutrients. The uptake peak of B and K occurred between stages R5 and R6. Despite the high rate of K uptake, only 22% is removed. Approximately 70% of the N uptake by peanuts is removed. ABSTRACT Modern runner-type peanut cultivars have high yield potential, […]
Macrofauna and soil properties in agroforestry system and secondary forest
HIGHLIGHTS Genotypes of Saccharum Complex differ in growth response upon bacterial inoculation. Agroforestry systems enhance soil health in fragile soil. The management in agroforestry systems is favorable for soil macrofauna. Soil fauna can act as a soil quality indicator in agroforestry systems. ABSTRACT Atlantic Forest devastation has resulted in the search and introduction of management […]
To celebrate International Women’s Day this year, SBCS promoted a live to discuss important topics not only for women, but for all people who want to promote gender equity in science. Check out, below who our speakers were. Live can be assisted in SBCS channel on YouTube Agronomist, with a master’s degree and doctorate in […]
