SISINTA: The digital map that transforms the knowledge of soils into a key tool for production
The Inta Soil Institute launched the Soil Information System (SISINTA), a platform that integrates more than 7,000 georeferenced soil profiles from all regions of the country. This digital, free and free access tool allows producers, technicians and decision makers to access precise and updated information on the characteristics and aptitudes of the soil in each territory.
Sisinta (www.visor.inta.gob.ar) combines field and laboratory data with geographical location, allowing searches to be performed by zone or specific attributes. Information can be organized in series or projects, downloading in different formats and being used in analysis software such as calculation forms, statistical tools or geographic information systems (GIS) .In the case of missions, the floor letters of the Guaraní and Leandro N. Alem departments were recently incorporated, with key information for productive planning. In Guaraní, more than 327,000 hectares were relieved, in a project that demanded two years of work and the participation of 30 professionals. Lucas Moretti, Doctor of Geological Sciences and project coordinator by INTA, he explained that this semi -talled cartography allows to calculate the productivity index of each plot depending on different crops. It is a great tool that the producer can access this resource digitally farm and see both the characteristic soils of their location as well as the recommendations for its management, to make decisions based on knowledge, he said. The Guaraní Department, in particular, presents geographical challenges due to its soils in mountain range and pronounced slopes. Thanks to digital maps, it is now possible to identify the different degrees of soil aptitude and their productive potentials with greater precision. With this tool, the INTA is committed to democratizing access to knowledge about Argentine soils, promoting a more efficient, sustainable and adapted agriculture adapted to the particularities of each territory.

An inverted forest of millions of trees has held Venice for more than 1600 years
It is an millenary engineering work. For more than 1,600 years, Venice remains firm thanks to a unique foundation system in the world. These are millions of wooden posts stuck with the tip down in the muddy background of the lagoon. This base, which looks like an inverted forest, is composed of aler, oak, aliso, pine, fir and elmo. Thanks to this millenary engineering work, the city was officially founded on March 25, 421. Taking advantage of the laws of physics, monumental buildings have been built on land that seemed unstable. Only Rialtos bridge rests on 14,000 piles, while the Basilica of San Marcos sits over 10,000 oaks. No one knows how many wooden posts there are in total under the entire city, but the Venetian foundations have more than 16 centuries fulfilling their function, unlike modern materials such as concrete or steel, which have a projected life of 50 years on average as according to Alexander Puzrin, professor of geomechanics and geosystem engineering at the Federal Polytechnic University of Zúric.
