“…Sugarcane cultivation can increase levels of aquatic humic substances [39]. Crop rotation helps alleviate soil compaction in sugarcane cultivation systems [40]. As sugarcane cultivation may worsen estuarine water quality [8] in streams [41] as well as estuaries in the tropical marine protected area [42], we suspected that intercropping systems could help achieve the full usage of water and nutrients in sugarcane planting systems.…”

Sugarcane/peanut intercropping is a highly efficient planting pattern in South China. However, the effects of sugarcane/peanut intercropping on soil quality need to be clarified. This study characterized the soil microbial community and the soil quality in sugarcane/peanut intercropping systems by the Illumina MiSeq platform. The results showed that the intercropping sugarcane (IS) system significantly increased the total N (TN), available N (AN), available P (AP), pH value, and acid phosphatase activity (ACP), but it had little effect on the total P (TP), total K (TK), available K (AK), organic matter (OM), urease activity, protease activity, catalase activity, and sucrase activity, compared with those in monocropping sugarcane (MS) and monocropping peanut (MP) systems. Both intercropping peanut (IP) and IS soils contained more bacteria and fungi than soils in the MP and MS fields, and the microbes identified were mainly Chloroflexi and Acidobacteria, respectively. Intercropping significantly increased the number of unique microbes in IS soils (68 genera), compared with the numbers in the IP (14), MS (17), and MP (16) systems. The redundancy analysis revealed that the abundances of culturable Acidobacteriaceae subgroup 1, nonculturable DA111, and culturable Acidobacteria were positively correlated with the measured soil quality in the intercropping system. Furthermore, the sugarcane/peanut intercropping significantly increased the economic benefit by 87.84% and 36.38%, as compared with that of the MP and MS, respectively. These results suggest that peanut and sugarcane intercropping increases the available N and P content by increasing the abundance of rhizospheric microbes, especially Acidobacteriaceae subgroup 1, DA111, and Acidobacteria.

“…Results from SCratoon showed that sugarcane cultivation altered the soil structure mainly in 10-20 cm layer where the observed θ FC values were lower than PA (Figure 3a), and the PAW values were limited (Figure 5a) [20] in the Sandy soil. After soil disturbance by conversion from pasture to sugarcane, machinery traffic by harvesters, tractors, and loaded trailers during harvesting intensifies soil compaction [6,45,46], mainly in the subsurface layer [47]. Soil compaction induced by machinery traffic likely explains the reduction in the PAW, of the soil water retention at lower h (Figure 4c), and alterations in soil porosity in the 10-20 cm layer in SCratoon in both soils (Figure 2a,c).…”

“…Despite the similar conditions observed in SCplant and SCratoon related to soil water dynamics, sugarcane fields are still susceptible to soil compaction [51,52], mainly in the 10-20 cm layer. The risk of compaction in sugarcane fields is dependent not only on machinery traffic but also on the management system [46]. Therefore, soil management such as a no-tillage system [12] and reduced tillage [53] can be promising strategies for reducing tension transmission through the soil profile [54] and, consequently, reduce the negative impact on soil structure.…”

Brazil is the world’s largest sugarcane producer with projections for expanding the current area by 30% in the coming years, mainly in areas previously occupied by pastures. We assess soil water changes induced by land-use change (LUC) for sugarcane expansion in the central-south region of Brazil. For that purpose, soil samples were collected in a typical LUC sequence (native vegetation–pasture–sugarcane) in two contrasting soil textures (i.e., sandy and clayey). Soil hydro-physical properties such as pores size distribution, bulk density, soil water content, water tension, and drainage time at field capacity, plant-available water, and S-index were analyzed. Our data showed that long-term LUC from native vegetation to extensive pasture induced severe degradation in soil physical quality and soil water dynamics. However, conventional tillage used during conversion from pasture to sugarcane did not cause additional degradation on soil structure and soil water dynamics. Over time, sugarcane cultivation slightly impaired soil water and physical conditions, but only in the 10–20 cm layer in both soils. Therefore, we highlight that sustainable management practices to enhance soil physical quality and water dynamics in sugarcane fields are needed to prevent limiting conditions to plant growth and contribute to delivering other ecosystem services.

“…However, the most Oxisols are susceptible to compaction under machine traffic (Ajayi et al, 2009a,b;Severiano et al, 2013;Andrade et al, 2017;Guimarães Júnnyor et al, 2019;Ferreira et al, 2020), even with different proportions of oxide/kaolinite in the clay fraction (weathering soil). Meanwhile, when used conservation techniques to cultivated this soils, improvements in the soil physical quality can occur, due to the increases of aggregates stability (Severiano et al, 2013;Iori et al, 2013;Silva et al, 2016;Vollant-Tuduri et al, 2005).…”

“…They can be described in detail if used a robust statistical tool, which captures data variability, considers fixed and random effect components, reduces errors and produces accurate estimates, as the theory about mixed linear regression model (Laird &Ware, 1982). This fact is significant for agricultural sustainability since soil compaction is one of the most investigated elements in agricultural sciences due to its potential to impact negatively crop production and is a precursor of erosion processes (Götze et al, 2016;Guimarães Júnnyor et al, 2019;Ferreira et al, 2020). Thereby, our hypothesis was: 1-Oxisols with different and striking mineralogy under the same soil conservationist management system have similar physical and mechanical behavior.…”

Our goal was to analyze the impact of a multipractice soil conservationist system on coffee production in tropical soils (LATOSSOLO VERMELHO-AMARELO caulinítico/kaolinitic Haplustox and LATOSSOLO VERMELHO-gibbsítico/gibbsitic Acrustox) in Minas Gerais, Brazil. In the experimental area, the soil management involved a set of multiple conservationist practices during cultivation for more than 3.5 yrs. Soil samples were collected at 0-5, 10-15, and 20-25 cm depths at two positions: planting rows and between rows. The soil physical and mechanical properties were determined, with a focus mainly on the preconsolidation stress model (preconsolidation stress versus matric tension). For the purpose of analysis, a split-split plot experimental design was implemented. A linear mixed regression model (LMR) was fitted, and Wald’s test was performed (P < 0.05). An improvement of soil physical quality for both Oxisols was observed at the planting row position. The effects of multipractice soil management after 3.5 yrs of cultivation in association with increased gibbsite content could promote new soil structure organization, as revealed by LMR, resulting in more resilient soils (between rows) and increasing the resistance to external pressures on gibbsitic Acrustox. Overall, the findings herein are in concordance with global trends towards conservationist practices that may alleviate soil compaction in agricultural systems to maintain environmental sustainability.
