Acervo para exposição do Laboratório de Pedologia e Estudos da Paisagem: catalogação e revisão bibliográfica

Abstract

The soil is a natural resource essential for human life, however many people do not know about its value, that is partially due to lackluster soil teaching over later years in Brazil. Thus, there is a demand for alternative methodologies that inspire people about soil’s importance. Universidade Federal de Uberlândia’s Laboratório de Pedologia e Estudos da Paisagem, trying to fulfill this need, planned a permanent exhibit with a field collected rocks, soils, minerals and artifacts collection. Aiming to realce the LAPEP’s exhibit plan, this paper will catalog the laboratory’s collection by organizing internal control cards, furthermore, will perform literature review about the collection items to compose reading materials for anyone interested in knowing better about the collection, thus enhancing their knowledge about soils.
