Abstract: The proper management of soil, in order to improve ecosystem services, requires knowledge of how different fractions of carbon respond to land use/land cover changes. This study aimed to evaluate the responses of total soil organic carbon, and its fractions, to reforestation age and land use changes in an Ultisol in the Posses catchment, a pilot area of the Brazilian program of Payment for Environmental Services, located in Southeastern Brazil. The study was conducted using field plots with various treatments, including native forest, old and young reforestation, well-managed pasture, subsistence farming, degraded pasture, and bare soil. Results showed that soil organic carbon increased with reforestation age and that original soil carbon stocks were restored after eight years of reforestation. Short-time pasture management increased the carbon pool by 10% compared to degraded pasture. The Carbon Management Index (CMI) was able to distinguish the effects of converting degraded pasture to either subsistence farming or bare soil. The CMI is a useful tool for determining the effects of land use/land cover changes, reforestation age, and native forest preservation on soil quality. Adequate management of soil fertilization is an immediate option for restoring the quality of Ultisols under degraded pastures in the Posses sub-basin.

Impacts of Land Use Changes on Soil Functions and Water Security: Insights from a Three-Year-Long Study in the Cantareira System, Southeast of Brazil
07 Sep 2023
TL;DR: The study investigated the impacts of land use changes on soil functions and water security in the Cantareira System, Southeast Brazil. Results showed that native forest soils had higher hydraulic conductivity and lower runoff rates compared to eucalyptus and pastures. The study highlighted the importance of native forests in affecting deep water recharge and reducing soil surface erosion.

TL;DR: This study assesses management practices to prevent soil degradation in Lithuanian acid soils, finding that manuring and residue management are most effective in improving soil quality, while liming increases sensitivity to degradation, and organic carbon and pH are most sensitive to agricultural practices.

Xiangyang Li,Jia Zeng,Jianjian Liu,Qi Zhang,Yingyi Liu,Xiang Wang,Hanyu Liu,Yongtao Zhao,Yunlong Zhang,Chengjie Ren,Gaihe Yang,Xin-Ning Han +11 more
TL;DR: Pinus tabuliformis forest restoration significantly increases aggregate organic carbon, with P-limitation regulating OC accumulation through enhanced hydrolytic enzyme activity in large aggregates and inhibited oxidative enzyme activity in medium and small aggregates.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a geographical information system to identify Koppen's climate types based on monthly temperature and rainfall data from 2,950 weather stations in Brazil, and the results are presented as maps, graphs, diagrams and tables, allowing users to interpret the occurrence of climate types in Brazil.
The vertical distribution of soil organic carbon and its relation to climate and vegetation
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the association of soil organic carbon (SOC) content with climate and soil texture at different soil depths, and tested the hypothesis that vegetation type, through patterns of allocation, is a dominant control on the vertical distribution of SOC.

Stabilization mechanisms of soil organic matter: Implications for C-saturation of soils
TL;DR: The relationship between soil structure and the ability of soil to stabilize soil organic matter (SOM) is a key element in soil C dynamics that has either been overlooked or treated in a cursory fashion when developing SOM models as discussed by the authors.
