Resumo: Agromineral resources are minerals and rocks used to improve soil productivity and health. These resources can be applied: indirectly, by extracting and concentrating one or more minerals by industrial processes for the production of conventional, highly soluble fertilizers; and directly, without processing, except fine grinding, for direct soil application. Agromineral resources include sedimentary phosphates, limestones/dolostones, potash and glauconite-bearing rocks of sedimentary origin, basaltic rocks, phonolites, kamafugites, and glass-rich mafic rocks of igneous origin. Among metamorphic agromineral resources, marble and biotite schist stand out. However, agromineral resources are not equally distributed on Earth’s surface, occurring more in one  area than in another, and have accumulated in various geotectonic settings related to plate tectonics, being formed in specific geological time periods in Earth’s history. Therefore, these resources occur in specific “agromineral provinces” and were formed during specific “agromineral epochs”. This paper provides a conceptual framework for agromineral resource distribution in time and space. Agrominerals have a high potential to be used as directly applied soil amendments and soil remineralizers for new and innovative farming strategies, provided the amendments are low or free of contaminants.

Esses recursos podem ser aplicados: indiretamente, ao se extrair e concentrar um ou mais minerais por meio de processos industriais, para produção de fertilizantes convencionais e altamente solúveis; e diretamente, sem processamento, exceto moagem em tamanho fino, para aplicação direta no solo. Recursos agrominerais incluem fosfatos sedimentares, calcário/dolomito, potassa e rochas portadoras de glauconita de origem sedimentar, basalto, fonólitos, kamafugitos e rochas máficas ricas em cristais e de origem ígnea. Entre os recursos agrominerais metamórficos, destacam-se o mármore e o biotita xisto. Contudo, os recursos agrominerais não são distribuídos homogeneamente pela superfície terrestre, ocorrendo mais em uma do que em outra área, e têm se acumulado em diversos ambientes tectônicos relacionados às placas tectônicas, tendo sido formados em períodos geológicos específicos na história da Terra. Portanto, esses recursos ocorrem em “províncias agrominerais” específicas e foram formados durantes “épocas agrominerais” específicas. Este trabalho apresenta um framework conceitual referente à distribuição dos recursos agrominerais no tempo e no espaço. Os agrominerais têm potencial para serem usados como amenizantes aplicados diretamente ao solo e como remineralizadores de solo, para estratégias novas e inovadoras de agricultura, desde que os amenizantes sejam poucos ou livre de contaminantes.Pesquisa Agropecuaria BrasileiraPesquisa Agropecuária Brasileirarecursos mineraisagromineraisfertilizantesamenizantes de soloremineralização do soloStraaten, Peter van2022-05-18info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://seer.sct.embrapa.br/index.php/pab/article/view/27037Pesquisa Agropecuaria Brasileira; V.57, Jan./Dec., 2022: Publicação contínua em volume anual; e01453Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira; V.57, Jan./Dec., 2022: Publicação contínua em volume anual; e014531678-39210100-104xreponame:Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira (Online)instname:Empresa Brasileira de Pesquisa Agropecuária (Embrapa)instacron:EMBRAPAenghttps://seer.sct.embrapa.br/index.php/pab/article/view/27037/14982Direitos autorais 2022 Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileirainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2023-01-23T13:40:23Zoai:ojs.seer.sct.embrapa.br:article/27037Revistahttp://seer.sct.embrapa.br/index.php/pabPRIhttps://old.scielo.br/oai/scielo-oai.phppab@sct.embrapa.br || sct.pab@embrapa.br1678-39210100-204Xopendoar:2023-01-23T13:40:23Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira (Online) - Empresa Brasileira de Pesquisa Agropecuária (Embrapa)false
