Physical and chemical properties of a dark-red Latosol and agroecosystem sustainability
01/Dec/1999
The agricultural use of soil changes its physical, chemical and biological characteristics. In many instances, these alterations can result in degradation of soil quality, due to destruction of the natural soil cover and excessive use of machines. The objective of this study was to characterize the alterations of some physical and chemical properties of a dystrophic Dark Red Latosol under cerrado vegetation, under different land uses. The soil samples were taken from five different agro-ecosystems: native pasture; improved brachiaria pasture; […]
