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...

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 nitrogen (N) was studied by separating total N into a labile and a stable fraction by oxidation and extraction of labile N with KMnO4. The nitrogen management index (NMI) was calculated following the method of Blair et al. (1995) for the carbon manage...

Differently managed oxisols from Central Brazil were studied using a sequential P fractionation procedure because the effects of land use on the distribution of P forms in these soils are barely known. Therefore levels of labile and recalcitrant P forms in the natural Cerrado savanna were compare...
