Amazonian Dark Earths are not only a testament to the vanished
civilizations of the Amazon Basin, but may provide the answer to
how the large, sophisticated societies were able to sustain
intensive agriculture in an environment with mostly infertile
soils. Locally known as Terra Preta de Indio or Indian black earth,
these anomalous soils are even today fertile and highly productive.
Though clearly associated with pre-European settlements questions
remain whether the Dark Earths were intentionally produced or
merely a by-product of habitation activities. This publication
provides a comprehensive review of our current understanding of
these fascinating soils: their origin, properties, and management
through time. These new and multidisciplinary perspectives by
leading experts on Amazonian Dark Earths may pave the way for the
next revolution of soil management in the humid tropics.
