It is recommended not to use abbreviations, taxonomic names of organisms, chemical formulas or the detailed classification of the soil. AUTHOR (S): name (s) and first surname and the address of the Institution to which it belongs will be included. Indicate the corresponding author and ORCID code. SUMMARY: it is a condensation of the essential ideas of the results of the work. The summary should clearly relate the objective, main method, results and conclusions.
