| Abstract | |
The conversion of the original Mata Atlântica, into areas of agriculture, planted forests, cattle and other activities have caused environmental impacts which consequences havent been completely evaluated yet by the scientific point of view, including hydrological studies in places where there had been an implantation eucalyptus forests. In this context, the main objective of the present paper was to carry out an integrated study of the hydrology and the nitrogen dynamics (N-NH4+ e N-NO3-), in a basin covered with eucalyptus forest, located in a farm called Fazenda Sertãozinho II, wich is a property of Votorantim Papel e Celulose, near Parque Estadual da Serra do Mar, nucleus of Santa Virginia. The study carried out from January to December of 2008, showed that the studied area presented a precipitation of aproximately of 1300 mm, 14% of interception, 38% of runoff and evapotranspiration of aproximately of 800 mm in the period of study. The superficial draining was of little significance, due to a low intensity of the precipitation. In terms of nitrogen, the microbasin presents very low concentrations of this compound, in its majority below detention limit (0.71 \'mü\'M for N-NO3 - and 1.43 \'mü\'M for N-NH4 +). The atmosphere input of inorganic nitrogen during the period of study was 2.35 kg.ha-1, and the exit through runoff was 0.14 kg. ha-1 (AU) | |
