Rough, very, translation from Google:
Rocks are the silent memory of the Earth, a mineral testimony that condenses in their hardness the passage of rivers, the fury of volcanoes, and the constancy of the wind; they constitute, in the words of Bachelard (1943), a "poetic universe where matter converses with the human spirit," reminding us that life germinates on foundations of stone.
From a technical perspective, rocks are natural aggregates of minerals that make up the Earth's crust and, through physical, chemical, and biological weathering processes, give rise to soil, releasing essential nutrients such as calcium, phosphorus, and potassium (Brady & Weil, 2017; Jenny, 1941). This transformation makes rocks the initial matrix of terrestrial ecosystems, determining fundamental properties for soil productivity and resilience (FAO, 2015).
However, beyond the geological, rocks also have an ecosocial character, since in many territories they are integrated into cultural and community life as sacred symbols, construction materials or sources of fertility, generating links between ancestral knowledge and contemporary science in ecological restoration processes (Toledo & Barrera-Bassols, 2008; Berkes, 2018).
Thus, rocks are poetry, science, and culture, deep roots that sustain life and the social fabric.
Here's the key literature!
