The Histosols are generally associated with Southeastern and Southern regions of Brazil, and there are few studies on the occurrence and effects of the use and agricultural management of these soils in the Northeast. The aim of this paper is to physically, chemically and morphologically characterize six profiles of Histosols from flood plains in the states of Ceara, Rio Grande do Norte and Paraiba, Brazil and correlate their soil properties to the training environment, as well as quantify their carbon […]

The implications of soil water availability on the growth of Hamlin variety orange trees were studied in a tableland topsequence in Bahia State. The topsequence consisted of a Podzolic Yellow Latosol, a Yellow Podzolic, and a Gray Podzolic. Soil samples were analyzed for texture and selected soil chemical characteristics. Rainfall data were also collected during the period of the study. Soil water content was measured weekly using a neutron probe to estimate water storage and water availability. Average values of […]
