Desertification!
Published on
Desertification! We really need to talk about this.
This process of land degradation in arid, semi-arid and dry sub-humid regions, which mainly affects the states of Bahia, Ceará, Piauí, Paraíba, Rio Grande do Norte, Pernambuco and Alagoas, is becoming a cause for concern in Brazil and soil science needs to provide reliable answers to help minimize the damage of desertification in Brazil.
Want to learn more about the causes, consequences and other relevant information about desertification? Then mark your calendar for August 20th.
Our meeting is scheduled for 7pm on the SBCS YouTube channel because this will be the topic of our next live.
See you there?
