Pedogeochemistry in NE-Brazil - Compared to Australia and Europe

► First large-scale pedogeochemical baseline values for northeastern Brazil ► Site signature variations larger than topsoil-bottom soil variations ► Chemical Index of Alteration higher than for Australian and European soils ► Distinct deviation from PEGS2 data (de Caritat et al., 2012; EPSL 319-320: 269 ff.)
