The substitution of the native vegetation of marshlands in Paraiba, initially by sugarcane and more recently by pastures, in a strongly undulated relief, has caused serious problems of soil degradation. Currently, some of these pastures are being replaced by plantations of sabiá (Mimosa caesalpiniaefolia Benth). The objective was to analyze the effect of these changes on the soil physical and chemical properties and root development. The experiment was conducted in Areia-PB, in a dystrophic Ultisol. The three treatments were represented […]
