Resumo -O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar os estoques de C e N do solo e os teores destes elementos na fração leve livre (FLL) da matéria orgânica (MOS) de um Neossolo Quartzarênico, sob diferentes usos agrícolas, no Cerrado. Foram selecionadas cinco áreas para avaliação: cerrado nativo; duas áreas com plantio convencional de soja; uma área ocupada anteriormente com pastagem e convertida em plantio direto de soja; e uma área com pastagem de baixa produtividade. Amostras de solo foram coletadas das camadas de 0-5, 5-10, 10-20 e 20-30 cm de profundidade, para determinação dos estoques de carbono (C) e nitrogênio (N) totais do solo. Os teores destes elementos na FLL foram determinados nas profundidades 0-5 e 5-10 cm. Em comparação à área sob cerrado, foi observado aumento nos estoques de C total do solo nas áreas de soja com até cinco anos de implantação. Houve redução das quantidades de FLL e dos teores de C à profundidade 0-5 cm, nas áreas com plantio de soja e pastagem. Considerando-se o baixo aporte natural de C e N no Neossolo Quartzarênico avaliado, é necessária a adoção de sistemas agrícolas que promovam aporte adequado de resíduos para a manutenção ou incremento da matéria orgânica do solo.Termos para indexação: Cerrado, pastagem, plantio convencional, plantio direto. Carbon and nitrogen stocks and organic matter light fraction in a Typic Quartzipsamment under agricultural useAbstract -The objective of this work was to evaluate C and N stocks in the soil and their contents in the free light fraction (FLL) of the soil organic matter (MOS), in a Typic Quartzipsamment under different land-use in Cerrado. Five areas were selected for evaluation: native cerrado; two areas with soybean under conventional tillage; one area formerly under pasture and afterwards cultivated with soybean under no-tillage; and one area under pasture with low productivity. Soil samples were collected from 0-5, 5-10, 10-20 and 20-30-cm depth layers to determine total C and N stocks of the soil. Contents of C and N in the FLL were determined at 0-5 and 5-10-cm depth. An increase was observed in the total C stocks in soybean areas implemented until five years, in comparison to the native cerrado area. There was a reduction in the amount of FLL and C content at 0-5 cm depth, in areas with soybean and pasture. Considering the low C and N natural input onto the Typic Quartzipsamment, the adoption of agricultural systems that can promote an adequate supply of residues is necessary for maintaining or increasing the soil organic matter.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
