Abstract:In the Plateau of Lages, intrusions of alkaline and ultrabasic rocks occur, rocks of rare occurrence in Brazil, whose soils derived from them are practically unknown. The study aimed to evaluate the chemical composition, mineralogy, genesis, and classification of the soils developed from the rocks Nepheline Sienite (P1), Volcanic Breccia (P2), Kimberlitic Breccia (P3), Phonolitic Tephrite (P4), and Phonolite (P5). After the morphological description (field) and the collection of soil samples, chemical analyses… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
