Research theme area:
Organic carbon dynamics and organo-mineral interaction characterization in mangrove soils along the Brazilian coast

Abstract:
The candidate will be based in Fortaleza (Ceará, NE-Brazil), under the supervision of Prof. Gabriel Nuto Nóbrega from the Department of Soil Sciences (UFC), and will collaborate with researchers from the BlueShore project, coordinated by Prof. Tiago Osório Ferreira (ESALQ/USP), part of the FAPESP-Shell Research Centre for Gas Innovation at POLI-USP, University of São Paulo. A summary of the program and the projects can be found on the RCGI website (https://sites.usp.br/rcgi/).

Description:
The applicant will contribute in line with the main objectives of the project:
1. Quantify carbon stocks (in the soil and aboveground) and greenhouse gas (GHG) fluxes (CO2, CH4, and N2O) of mangrove forests under different conditions (pristine, degraded, replanted).
2. Understand the mechanisms of carbon storage and stabilization in mangrove soils.
3. Calculate carbon sequestration rates in reforested and
