<p>Fully created a page</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>&#039;&#039;Terra preta&#039;&#039; (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈtɛʁɐ ˈpɾetɐ], literally &quot;black earth&quot; in Portuguese), also known as Amazonian dark earth or Indian black earth, is a type of very dark, fertile anthropogenic soil (anthrosol) found in the Amazon Basin. In Portuguese its full name is terra preta do índio or terra preta de índio (&quot;black soil of the Indian&quot;, &quot;Indians&#039; black earth&quot;). Terra mulata (&quot;mulatto earth&quot;) is lighter or brownish in color.<br /> <br /> Terra preta owes its characteristic black color to its weathered charcoal content, and was made by adding a mixture of charcoal, bones, broken pottery, compost and manure to the low fertility Amazonian soil. A product of indigenous Amazonian soil management and slash-and-char agriculture, the charcoal is stable and remains in the soil for thousands of years, binding and retaining minerals and nutrients<br /> <br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Content&#039;&#039;&#039;:<br /> <br /> * [[Clay]]<br /> * Feses<br /> * [[Fishing|Fish]]<br /> * Pot shards<br /> * [[Charcoal]]<br /> * [[Bones]]<br /> * [[Blood]]</div>
