Abstract

Abstract

The This research aimed to determine whether  Pinus taeda L. cultivation on a Haplumbrept, previously under native grassland, would degrade soil chemical quality. The study was conducted in the region of Campos de Cima da Serra, in Cambará do Sul, RS, Brazil. We selected two areas, one in the first and another in the second rotation, aged 13 years. A contiguous area with grassland (control) was studied for each pine stand. In each area, five trenches were opened and soil samples collected in 0.0-0.05, 0.05-0.20, 0.20-0.40 and 0.40-0.60 m soil layers. Chemical soil analyses revealed reduction in exchangeable bases (calcium and magnesium) in surface layers, but phosphorus content was higher in areas with pine stands. The forest also altered exchangeable aluminum and soil acidity, increasing the contents of aluminum and reducing pH. Total organic carbon and total nitrogen were reduced in the surface, but this behavior changed in the second rotation, where soil with pine maintained C and N contents similar to the original field.
