Changes in soil properties of a forest management area on the Araripe Plateau
01/Jun/2013
The Araripe Plateau in the tropic semi-arid region is characterized by great environmental diversity. The Araripe National Forest and several forest management units (FMU) are located in this area with mostly red-yellow Oxisols. The goal of this study was to identify a basic indicator that could represent a set of physical, chemical and biological properties of soils of the Plateau. Multivariate analysis was used to indicate changes in soil properties of a FMU. Soil samples were analyzed in triplicate (0-20 […]
