Matheus Toloto completed his Master's Degree in Environmental Technology in 2021 through a dual degree program between the Polytechnic Institute of Bragança and the Federal Technological University of Paraná. He is interested in the soil science area focus on monitoring and evaluation of soil resource quality indicators. His thesis was developed on nutrient cycling in soils, specially the immobilization of heavy metals by the use of natural amendments, as biochar and zeolites in relation with organic compost and its improvement for crop production, nutrient uptake and optimising soil condition. He was an intern at the University of Thessaly working on agriculture development in Mediterranean areas. He is currently a research fellow at the "Landscape Unit for Habitat Restorations" project, that aims the implementation of soil improvement actions for carbon storage in the soil, through the use of superficial crops and bioengineering techniques in areas with erosion potential.
