Abstract:The aim of this study was to evaluate the differential response to land use changes between native forest and croplands regarding the quantitative soil variables of aggregate weight classes and different carbon pools in extremely kaolinitic soils from the east coast of Brazil. In the soil A horizon, the total (TOC) and dissolved (DOC) organic carbon contents were analyzed. In the 0–0.08 m soil layer, the weight and the organic carbon content (Cag) were determined for six size aggregate classes. The mean differ… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
