Tropical agriculture and global warming: impacts and mitigation options

Abstract: The intensive land use invariably has several negative effects on the environment and crop production if conservative practices are not adopted. Reduction in soil organic matter (SOM) quantity means gas emission (mainly CO 2 , CH 4 , N 2 O) to the atmosphere and increased global warming. Soil sustainability is also affected, since remaining SOM quality changes. Alterations can be verified, for example, by soil desegregation and changes in structure. The consequences are erosion, reduction in nutrient availabil… Show more

“…No Brasil, a participação da agricultura na emissão desses gases no total das emissões antrópicas é acentuada, sendo 75, 78 e 91% para CO 2 , CH 4 e N 2 O, respectivamente (Cerri et al, 2007) quando então se considera a conversão de áreas naturais em agrícolas. No país, a área cultivada com cana-de-açúcar na safra 2013/14 é de aproximadamente 8,89 milhões de hectares sendo a produção estimada em 653,8 milhões de toneladas.…”

“…A exemplo da adoção de práticas agrícolas mais conservacionistas, como o cultivo mínimo e o plantio direto que em substituição ao plantio convencional aumentam o potencial de sequestro e o estoque de carbono no solo (La Scala et al, 2006;Cerri et al, 2007). Assim, a conversão do sistema de preparo convencional para o preparo reduzido ou mínimo do solo pode contribuir para a redução da emissão de CO 2 do solo para a atmosfera (Lal, 2009).…”

“…Highly weathered soils of the tropics are characterized by a rapid decline in SOM when land is cleared for cultivation on a slash-burn crop sequence (Ogle et al, 2005;Jimenez & Lal, 2006). Deforestation is frequently accompanied by loss of essential nutrients through soil erosion and by soil compaction (Eneji et al, 2003;Cerri et al, 2007), particulary in Misiones (NE Argentina), where about 200,000 ha of yerba mate (Ilex paraguaiensis Saint Hil.) have been planted.…”
