ARTICLES RELATED TO Geography of Brazil | | | |  Geography of Brazil: Encyclopedia II - Geography of Brazil - The EnvironmentThe environmental problem that attracted most international attention in Brazil in the 1980s was undoubtedly deforestation in the Amazon.

Most of the clearing resulted from the activities of ranchers, including large corporate operations, and a smaller portion resulte ...

| | | | Geography of Brazil: Encyclopedia II - Geography of Brazil - Soils and Vegetation
Brazil's tropical soils produce 70 million tons of grain crops per year, but this output is attributed more to their extension than their fertility. Despite the earliest Portuguese explorers' reports that the land was exceptionally fertile and that anything planted grew well, the record in terms of sustained agricultural productivity has been generally disappointing. High initial fertility after clearing and burning usually is depleted rapidly, and acidity and aluminum content are often high. Together with the rapid growth of weeds and pests ...

| | | | Geography of Brazil: Encyclopedia II - Brazil - Geography Brazil is characterized by the extensive low-lying Amazon Rainforest in the north, and a more open terrain of hills and low mountains to the south — home to most of Brazil's population and its agricultural base.

| | | | Geography of Brazil: Encyclopedia II - Brazil - History Brazil is thought to have been inhabited for at least 10,000 years by semi-nomadic populations when the first Portuguese explorers, led by Pedro Álvares Cabral, disembarked in 1500. Over the next three centuries, it was resettled by the Portuguese and exploited mainly for brazilwood (Pau-Brasil) at first, and later for sugarcane(Cana-de-Açúcar) agriculture and gold mining. The colony's source of manpower was initially on enslaved Amerindians, and after 1550, mainly African slaves. In 1808, Queen Maria I of Portugal and her son and regent, ...
