The soil C stock is a consequence of the balance between the C losses by the CO2 emission (associate to the heterotrofic microorganisms activity) and erosion, and to C inputs, associate to organic compounds input by the ...

For the sustainability of integrated crop-livestock systems, the proper management of its components (soil-plant-animal), which are dynamic and interact with each other, are essential to define the system's ability to ...

The no-tillage adoption combined with the presence of crop residues on soil surface and minimum soil disturbance increase the soil organic matter content, that associated with broadcast fertilization, change the nutrient ...

A laboratory-scale investigation of SO2 scrubbing was carried out in a 77.92mm (diameter) × 80.00mm trickle bed with 2.00-2.36mm activated carbon particles using continuous and periodically interrupted liquid flows. The ...

In this work, an investigation through experimentation and mathematical modeling was carried out with the intention of evaluating the drying process of pitangueira (Eugenia uniflora L.) and olive tree (Olea europaea L.) ...

Holly (Ilex paraguariensis A. Saint Hilaire) plays an important economic, social and ecological throughout southern of Brazil; however, still requires efficient protocols for vegetative propagation of seedlings aiming ...

First, a glassy carbon electrode modified with functionalized carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and glucose oxidase was proposed. Cyclic voltammetry of GOx immobilized onto the surface of CNTs showed a pair of well-defined redox ...

The exploitation of rice husks through thermal conversion at low temperature, adding economical value through its pyrolysis products, may represent a solution to the current environmental problem of discharging this ...

The soil quality monitoring in planted forests, through the efficient use of indicators, is important for the non degradation of the soil by management practices and assessment of possible increases / decreases in the ...
