The Brazilian Soil Spectral Library (BSSL): A general view, application and challenges

José Alexandre Melo Demattê, +64 more
- 15 Nov 2019 - 
TL;DR: The Brazilian Soil Spectral Library (BSSL) as mentioned in this paper was developed in a joint partnership with the Brazilian pedometrics community to standardize and evaluate spectra within the 350-2500nm range of Brazilian soils.
Journal ArticleDOI

Soil attributes after the conversion from forest to pasture in amazon

TL;DR: In this paper, chemical and physical changes of a Typic Hapludox were evaluated as a function of the conversion from forest to grassland, leading to land degradation when it is poorly managed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Assessment of risk to human health from simultaneous exposure to multiple contaminants in an artisanal gold mine in Serra Pelada, Pará, Brazil

TL;DR: Environmental contamination and risk to human health were heterogeneous in the surroundings of the mine, and mitigation strategies need to be adopted to decrease the risks of contamination to the environment and to the local population.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adsorption and desorption kinetics and phosphorus hysteresis in highly weathered soil by stirred flow chamber experiments

TL;DR: In this article, the adsorption and desorption kinetics of phosphorus in highly weathered soils were evaluated and parameters related to P kinetics were estimated, considering the presence of two types of adaption sites (fast and slow), estimating also the hysteresis index.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quality reference values and background concentrations of potentially toxic elements in soils from the Eastern Amazon, Brazil

TL;DR: In this paper, the background concentrations and QRVs of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in their natural state, absent from human influences, were obtained from 132 surface and 132 subsurface (0.8-1.0) soils in the state of Para, Eastern Amazon, Brazil.
