这篇论文对地体研究的历史作出了贡献。它不仅追溯了亚马逊黑暗地球(Tterra Preta De Indio)的科学史，而且还追溯了Terra Preta的知识史，明确考虑到土著的贡献。主要分为五个阶段。起初，关于普雷塔土地的知识是当地的土著知识。科学物体“Terra Preta”是在考古研究的背景下创建的，然后在1990年代初全球变暖辩论日益激烈的背景下被重新设计为碳封存土壤。这一发展导致了Terra Preta的去情境化和商品化，导致了生物炭产业的兴起。商品化包括神话中的Terra Preta，强调它古老的、史前的根源。这两个过程--商品化和神话化--也可以在科学领域找到。这似乎表明，不仅Terra Preta已经成为一种商品，而且对Terra Preta的研究也显示出商品化的迹象。
This paper contributes to the history of terra preta research. It traces not only the history of science of Amazonian Dark Earths (terra preta de indio) but the history of knowledge of terra preta taking explicitly into account indigenous contributions. Five major phases are distinguished. In the beginning knowledge on terra preta was local indigenous knowledge. The scientific object "terra preta" was created in the context of archaeological research and has then been reframed as a carbon-sequestering soil in the context of the rising global warming debate in the early 1990s. This development led to a de-contextualization of terra preta and to commodification, giving rise to the biochar industry. Commodification included mythification of terra preta, stressing its ancient, prehistoric roots. Both processes - commodification and mythification - can also be found within the scientific sphere. This seems to indicate that not only terra preta has become a commodity, but that also research on terra preta shows signs of commodification.
