Balanço químico em seis conjuntos solo-saprolito do Rio Grande do Sul

Abstract

The knowledge and the determination of the flow and production of elements for the bad weather are important, once they allow understanding the interactions among biological phenomena, hydrological and climatologically, serving of subsidy for the understanding of the modeling of the natural sources of nutrients and movement of pollutant. In that context, the objective of the work was to estimate the weathering processes through the earnings and losses of elements for different soils in RS. The study took place in six representative profiles of units of formed state southern Brazil mapping starting from different origin materials. In what it concerns the geochemical variation, the titanium seemed to be the most appropriate for use as element of index. The total chemical analysis associated to the geochemical variation revealed an interesting analysis in pedogenetic studies. In most of the cases, there was coherence among the behavior of the total elements, the pedogenetic processes and the mineralogical composition of the soils. This work was constituted in an application of the pedologic bases in field profiles that so much showed their potentialities as their limitations. Therefore, in relation to the studied soils, several fronts of studies can be developed starting from the results.
