Peters, MichaelRao, Idupulapati M.Fisher, Myles J.Subbaraoa, Guntur V.Martens, SHerrero, G.Tiemann, Tassilo T.Ayarza, Miguel AngelHyman, Glenn[Tropical forage-based systems to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions]Tropical forage-based systems to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions

Sustainable land use in periodically dry Brazilian savannas requires a water-saving management. We hypothesized that the annual course of matric potentials (?M) in very-fine, isohyperthermic Anionic Acrustoxes of Pinus plantations (PI), degraded (DP) and productive pastures (PP), no-till (NT) and...


Lilienfein, JWilcke, W.Ayarza, Miguel AngelLima, SCVilela, LZech, W.[Annual course of matric potential in differently used savanna oxisols in Brazil]Annual course of matric potential in differently used savanna oxisols in Brazil

This paper analyzes land use change in the Brazilian savanna and draws out policy implications about the adoption of resource management technologies. Resources management technologies are more likely to be adopted in areas experiencing a long-term deterioration in market conditions. Adoptions oc...

The effect of land use on the availability of soil nitrogen (N) was studied by separating total soil N into one labile and one stable fraction by oxidation and extraction of labile N with potassium permanganate. The nitrogen management index (NMI) was calculated according to Blair et al. (1995) f...

Intensive farming and grazing on Oxisols of the Brazilian savannas (also known as the Cerrados) are leading to loss of soil organic matter (SOM) and consequently to a decline in fertility and sustainability of the soils. Alternative land-use systems such as the introduction of legumes in pastures...


Fuhrmann, SNeudelft, HWesterhof, RAyarza, Miguel AngelSilva, J.E. daZech, W.[Soil organic carbon, carbohydrates, amino sugars, and potentially mineralizable nitrogen under different land-use systems in oxisols of the Brazilian cerrados]Soil organic carbon, carbohydrates, amino sugars, and potentially mineralizable nitrogen under different land-use systems in oxisols of the Brazilian cerrados

The permanganate oxidation procedure is easily performed and may help monitor large areas for their soil organic matter (SOM) quality and nitrogen (N) availability. Knowledge of the chemical characteristics of fractions that are lost or remain after oxidation will help explain results obtained by...

This study assessed the influence of land use (continuous cropping, CC; tree plantations, F; pasture, PG; and native savanna, NS) on P concentrations and partitioning in bulk soil and two aggregate size fractions of two Oxisols, one loamy and one clayey. The quantity and quality of physically pro...

Soil organic matter quality is usually seen as a major attribute of soil quality. In this study, we extracted organic carbon with water (WEOC) or with potassium permanganate (PEOC). We assessed these extractions for their potential as sensitive indicators of the effect of land use on two importan...

The effects of land-use change on the structure of Oxisols in the Brazilian savannas (also known as the Cerrados) are still insufficiently understood. We therefore studied loamy and clayey Oxisols under natural savanna, crop, pasture, and reforestation to (1) quantify management-induced changes i...
