The scientists used computer tools to study soil samples from Brazil's dry region. They wanted to see if the soil properties were similar among different samples. By analyzing the data, they could compare the soil profiles and predict where certain soil layers would be. They found that they could group the data by soil depth and see which profiles were alike. This helped them understand the soil better and make predictions about its properties.
