1. Development of Predictive Models for Determining Organic Carbon and Clay Content in Soils under Irrigated Fruit Production in the Brazilian Semi-Arid Region

The agricultural sector plays a pivotal role in both greenhouse gas emissions and climate change mitigation through soil carbon sequestration. Total organic carbon (TOC) and soil texture - particularly clay content - are key indicators of this dynamic, as they influence organic matter stabilization, water retention, and soil structural quality. In semi-arid regions, where edaphoclimatic conditions and water scarcity constrain agricultural production, the integrated assessment of these attributes... A.L. Santos, A.A. Linhares, P.C.
