Resumo

Mangrove soils cover an extensive area along the Brazilian Coast providing countless ecological services, mostly linked to soil-forming processes (e.g., nutrient cycling; contaminant retention, and C sequestration). Due to the distinct characteristics of the coast (e.g., climate and relief) these soils present a wide variation regarding their characteristics, resulting from a differentiated intensity of the occurrence of processes such as paludization, gleization, sulfidization, and salinization, which affect the ecological services provided by such ecosystems. The intensity of the pedogenetic processes that occur in mangrove soils is controlled by the soil-forming factors, resulting in the high pedodiversity of mangrove soils along the Brazilian coast. For example, the daily tidal variation and coastal environmental setting, associated with the “classical” factors such as climate and seasonal variations, organisms and bioturbation, and (micro)relief influence the redox conditions, which control the intensity of soil-forming processes. Besides, anthropogenic activity may affect the occurrence of the pedogenetic processes leading to the degradation of such an important, but an endangered ecosystem.
