Tracking mangrove restoration using a biogeochemical soil health index and ecosystem service indicators
Laís Coutinho Zayas Jimenez, Hermano Melo Queiroz, Maurício Roberto Cherubin, Francisco Ruiz & Tiago Osório Ferreira Abstract Mangrove forests provide critical soil-related ecosystem services (ES), including carbon sequestration, contaminant retention, and nutrient cycling—all closely linked to soil health. However, land-use change and pollution increasingly threaten mangrove soils, compromising their functionality and ES provision. To reverse […]

Soil carbon debt from land use change in Brazil
João M. Villela, Júnior M. Damian, Daniel R. P. Gonçalves, Luis G. Barioni, Maurício R. Cherubin & Carlos E. P. Cerri Abstract Carbon farming is a fundamental strategy for mitigating climate change. Brazil, with 276 million hectares of agricultural land, has strong potential to lead this agenda, but uncertainty about soil carbon (C) debt hinders […]
