Effects of Long-Term Crop-Livestock-Forestry Systems on Soil Erosion and Water Infiltration in a Brazilian Cerrado Site

Abstract: Integrating agricultural land uses is a suitable alternative for fostering economic development and improving food security. However, the effects of long-term integrated systems on soil erosion and water infiltration are still poorly understood. Here, we investigate the influence of different agricultural land uses on soil erosion and water infiltration in an Oxisol site located in the Brazilian Cerrado region. The experimental area consisted of continuous grazing under variable stocking rates with regular fer… Show more

“…Implementing agroforestry systems instead of monoculture eucalyptus plantations could potentially mitigate these problems and may offer higher changes for EHR recovery. 104 The reliability of our results on soil loss can be increased by including more spatial detailed data (e.g. slope, soil), long term projections on e.g.…”

“…In this integration, the fields are used interchangeably for agriculture and livestock, but tree threads are also planted between the fields, where cattle can forage. This came about aiming to increase the intensity of land use and crop rotation and livestock in order to feed more people without cutting down the forest (Sone et al 2019). Agriculture in the biome area still has plenty of room for growth without compromising areas that are still preserved.…”

“…One way to ensure the sustainability of the food production system and to maintain ecosystem services in the Pantanal biome is linked to effective soil management, which requires a reduction in soil erosion rates [60,61]. Some examples of techniques to prevent or reduce soil erosion are no-tillage, contour farming, terraces, slope afforestation, crop residues, cover crops, and grass margins [17,55].…”
