Summary: erras Pretas de Índios are anthropogenic soils found in the Amazon which have high carbon content, high fertility and high resilience. These characteristics are due to the pyrogenic character of their organic matter. Based on several investigations of the organic matter from Terra Preta de Índios, an efficient model of organic material has been proposed, that can provide agriculture sustainability and carbon sequestration. This model involves a compound of polycondensed aromatic structures with carboxylic functionality.
