Agroforestry systems (AFs) mimic characteristics of natural ecosystems such as multistrata canopy and deep rooting and may minimize the consequences of these changes by providing soil protection and maintenance of conditions similar to those under

Similar damage can be expected from wetting and drying cycles causing aggregate fragmentation and, consequently, leading to an increase in their specific area and exposure of internal electric charges. Thus, we hypothetised that the influence of wetting and drying cycles is dependent on the mineralogical

Variables determinated were: yield (export and marketable type); quality (total soluble solids content and pulp firmness); fertirrigation (emitter discharge rate, elevation, distance to water inlet and fertilizer amount); soil chemical properties (pH, organic matter, Ca, Mg, K,

One sustainable practice developed primarily in tropical farms is the use of a multi-cropping system. This system was applied using participatory approaches by family farmers from a semiarid region of Brazil and evaluated based on the perception and monitoring of the farmers, particularly the soil moisture enhancement in their productive areas. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the impact of management practices on soil moisture in multi-cropping areas using an alternative method, based on the standard method, developed and applied by farmers in the field. In addition, the soil moisture alterations in multi-cropping systems were evaluated considering the water retention curve and the soil moisture monitoring in situ. We concluded that conservative practices in multi-cropping systems do contribute to water conservation. Furthermore, the establishment of a methodology to evaluate multi-cropping systems directly in the field by farmers is an important strategy to show to the farmers’ results that confirm the importance of the practices developed by them to maintain good production and general benefits to the environment.

To evaluate the impact of two agricultural systems (organic and conventional) on soil organic carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) stocks in a sandy soil, samples were collected from the Amway Nutrilite Brazil farm and from the Central Pivot Horticultural Farmers Association farm, both

The purpose of this investigation was thus to determine the trace element content in the magnetically separated sand, silt, and clay fractions from soils of different lithological origins in order to test the hypothesis that higher levels of magnetization are directly proportional to the contents of these elements. To accomplish this objective, the samples were dissolved by concentrated HCl/HF/HClO4 acid attack, and the contents of Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn, Zr, and V were analyzed by atomic emission spectroscopy with inductively coupled plasma (ICP-AES). The contents of trace elements in the total, magnetic and nonmagnetic sand, silt, and clay fractions were within the normal range presented by whole soils with the exception of Cd, which was higher. Magnetization (σs) of the total, magnetic and nonmagnetic soil fractions was evaluated with a special analytical balance. The σs values were higher for sand and lower for silt and clay fractions. The magnetically concentrated fractions gave results with variation in the same fashion but reaching higher values. The relationship between trace elements in soil fractions and magnetization, studied by correlation analysis, gave higher and more significant correlation coefficients when a soil derived from itabirite was excluded from the analysis. Because itabirite and mafic rocks have high magnetization, the correlation result demonstrates that there is a strongly significant association between magnetization and trace element contents for the soils derived from mafic rocks. Analysis of variance showed that there were significant differences between trace element contents of the magnetic compared with the nonmagnetic fractions of the soils derived from mafic rocks, especially in their sand and silt fractions. Tukey's test for comparison of means showed that mafic rocks have a higher content of trace elements compared with the other parent materials. The results obtained confirm the geochemical affinity of trace elements and the components of the magnetic fraction of the soils derived from the mafic rocks, mainly for sand and silt fractions, where higher contents of the investigated trace elements were observed.

Historically a 'mining state', Minas Gerais established a Quality Reference Value for metal(loid)s for all of the soils in the state. To successfully establish these values it is important to study the spatial geochemical diversity for the state. In this context, the objectives of this work are: (1) to evaluate the natural concentrations of metal(loid)s in pristine Minas Gerais soils and (2) to interpret the spatial variability in concentration of these elements. The 0-20 cm layer of soils was sampled for 697 georeferenced sites including the main geological materials and soil groups. Soil properties were analyzed according to methodologies suitable for Brazilian soils. The concentration of metal(loid)s was determined by acid extraction according to EPA 3051A. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation and spatial variability ana...
