Remote Sensing for Monitoring and Managing Urban Soils in Coastal Areas: A Review

Antonio Ganga, Alessandro Auzzas, Rafael Barroca Silva, Gian Franco Capra

ABSTRACT Coastal urban soils (CUS) exhibit distinct physical–chemical properties due to the combined effects of intense interaction among anthropogenic and natural pressures, resulting in a unique, complex and highly vulnerable system. While CUS are vital for the urban coastal environment and its …

Evaluating Sentinel‑2 vegetation indices for aboveground biomass estimation and forest management in the fragmented Atlantic Rainforest

Felipe Góes de Moraes, Deicy Carolina Lozano-Sivisaca, José Raimundo de Souza Passos, Rafael Barroca Silva et autres

Accurate estimation of aboveground biomass (AGB) in tropical forests is essential for carbon accounting and effective forest conservation, particularly in the biodiverse and threatened Atlantic Rainforest. Satellite-derived vegetation indices (VIs) offer potential for large-scale assessment of forest biomass and condition. We evaluated …

Unearthing anthropogenic and natural footprints: pedogenesis of a polyevent soil at San Lorenzo ad Septimum Abbey (Italy)

Eleonora Grilli, Gian Franco Capra, Antonio Ganga, Alessandro Auzzas

Polyevent soils represent ideal systems for investigating how the sequential combination of multiple natural and human processes and interruptions affects the development of a landscape. This investigation particularly focuses on deciphering the anthropogenic footprints embedded in the soil and tracing how human …

Residual Effect of Silicate Agromineral Application on Soil Acidity, Mineral Availability, and Soybean Anatomy

Mariana de Carvalho Ribeiro, Antonio Ganga, Isabella Silva Cattanio, Aline Redondo Martins et autres

Silicate agrominerals (SA) may be sustainable soil amendments that can minimize dependence on conventional fertilizers (CF). We evaluated the residual effects of SA application as a source of Si and as a soil remineralizer, using soils with contrasting chemical-physical features cultivated with …
