“…It is difficult to apply the concept of a critical resistance value to the dynamic conditions of the field. Root growth-limiting soil resistance can occur during dry periods while other factors, including poor aeration (Kelting et al, 1999), may limit root growth during wet periods, especially on Table 4. Size of loblolly pine two growing seasons following planting in tilled (T) and nontilled (NT) rows receiving three cultural treatments on eight upland sites.…”

T he southeastern United States is the world's largest industrial wood producer, with approximately 16 million hectares of industrial pine timberland (Prestemon and Abt, 2002;Haynes, 2002;Smith et al., 2004). Wood demand from this region is expected to increase, and the land base dedicated to silvicultural practices is expected to continue to shift from natural forests owned by nonindustrial private landowners to pine plantations (Allen et al., 2005). Thus, the role of intensive forest management to maintain and increase wood production is increasing in significance (Borders and Bailey, 2001;Fox, 2000;Martin and Shiver, 2002).Since the 1950s, mechanical site preparation has been considered essential to southern pine plantation management (Martin and Shiver, 2002 • Growth responses to tillage occur across fertilization and competition control treatments.• Tree size was not well predicted by mean soil resistance.• Soil resistance in the 0-to 0.15-m depth increment delineated an upper bound for tree size two years after planting.

“…Esse critério pode ser considerado inadequado, uma vez que a produtividade é influenciada também por fatores que independem do solo, como clima, genótipo ou desastres naturais (ex. : fogo, pragas, doenças) (Kelting et al, 1999). Variedades ou genótipos altamente produtivos, por exemplo, podem ser menos sensíveis a mudanças nos fatores do solo, dada a sua maior eficiência no uso da água e de nutrientes (Vance, 2000).…”

RESUMOO uso agrícola do solo causa alterações em suas características físicas, químicas e microbiológicas. A conseqüência dessas alterações pode ser a perda da qualidade do solo, o que compromete a sustentabilidade do uso desse recurso. A análise de indicadores bioquímicos e microbiológicos de qualidade do solo é relevante para monitorar mudanças na qualidade do solo e no desempenho de suas funções-chave, como a capacidade de ciclar e armazenar nutrientes. Neste estudo, avaliaram-se indicadores químicos, físicos e microbiológicos do solo em plantios de eucalipto 5,5 anos após terem sido submetidos a diferentes métodos de manejo durante a fase de reforma do povoamento. A avaliação baseou-se na determinação de 18 atributos físicos e químicos, além de 12 outros de caráter bioquímico ou microbiológico, os quais foram adotados como indicadores da qualidade do solo. Os indicadores bioquímicos e microbiológicos mostraram-se mais sensíveis para avaliar mudanças qualitativas no solo devidas ao manejo, quando comparados com os químicos ou físicos. O maior distúrbio causado pelos tratamentos em que houve remoção ou queima do material orgânico da superfície do solo foi evidenciado pelos maiores valores de qCO 2 e menores valores de qMIC na camada superior do solo (0 a 5 cm). A análise de componentes principais permitiu visualizar as semelhanças entre as áreas com base em todas as variáveis analisadas. A área de vegetação natural de mata secundária, usada como referência de qualidade do solo, foi a que apresentou a maior distância gráfica das demais áreas, demonstrando que a introdução da monocultura do eucalipto modifica a qualidade do solo estudado. A qualidade do solo da área de eucalipto onde não se efetuou o corte das

“…Experimentation in miniature has been successfully used to link productivity with changes in key soil properties induced by different management practices at a single site (Kelting et al, 1999). In this study, small highly stocked plots (spacing 0.3 m Â 0.3 m; stand density of 111,111 stems ha À1 ) of Pinus taeda grown over a oneyear period were used to validate a soil quality index (SQI) model developed from literature based sufficiency curves for five key growth determining attributes of forest soils.…”

Using predetermined sufficiency curves developed from juvenile and mature stands (see Kelting et al, 1999 for references), the SQI accounted for 60% of the variation in tree volume, with three of the five attributes (water table depth, soil aeration depth and net N mineralisation) exhibiting significant relationships with volume. These results suggest that experimentation in miniature may provide a useful means of rapidly identifying key soil properties influencing tree growth and site sustainability.…”
