New demands on land and the resources needed for the production of biomass for modem bioenergy can lead to competition for land and the underpinning resources that support food production, in turn, leading to a decline in productive capacity, ecosystem services and habitat quality. It is proposed that carefully integrated, knowledge-led, implementation of bioenergy cropping systems could …
This proposal aim to estimative the greenhouse gas emissions (CO2, CH4 and N2O) and ammonia volatilization in broiler conventional farming production system. The GHG sources that will be evaluated include nitrogen fertilization related to feed grain production, poultry litter, and other gases from fossil fuel consume and use of electricity. Such information will allow to evaluate the gree…
Energy crops have expanded significantly in Brazil. Between 2000 and 2009 nearly three million hectares of sugar cane were incorporated into the existing production system, transforming it into the main source of renewable energy. It is estimated that another 11 million ha are necessary to achieve the Brazilian projections of production, consumption and exports of ethanol by 2020. Conside…

In view of the increasing environmental and legal concerns, many discussions are being focusing on agricultural production associated with sustainability and environmental quality. In this way, Brazilian commodities, such as ethanol, are looking for sustainable production to suit the international market demands. An important parameter for assessing sustainability is the carbon footprint …
The environmental impacts caused by the land use change (LUC) with conversion of native vegetation and pasture areas for sugarcane have generated questions facing the environmental sustainability of Brazilian ethanol production. In this context, the soil quality (SQ) has been identified as a key indicator to compose protocols and evaluate such impacts in the producing systems. Thus, the o…
The Cerrado biome concentrates priority areas for sugarcane expansion in the coming years, making it a threatened ecosystem and an important focus to develop scientific studies. This research will evaluate the carbon stocks, aggregates stability and diversity of soil macrofauna influenced by land use change resultant from sugarcane expansion in Brazilian Cerrado. The strategy to achieve t…

The environmental impacts of land use change (LUC) caused by conversion of native vegetation and pasturelands to sugarcane have generated numerous questions regarding the environmental sustainability of Brazilian ethanol production. In response, soil quality (SQ) has been identified as a key indicator to quantify those impacts. The primary objective for this research internship abroad, wh…
Brazilian commodities, such as ethanol, are looking for sustainable production to suit the international market demands. An important parameter for assessing sustainability is the carbon footprint calculation of the product. Thus, studies of the variations in soil carbon stocks on the ethanol production are essential. Studies in relation of land use change are already been developed; howe…
Sugarcane expansion in native vegetation areas and pastures causes soil carbon stocks depletion. Furthermore, previous findings of this research show that soil structural stability decreases in the land use sequence native vegetation - pasture - sugarcane. The ultimate mechanisms by which land use change for sugarcane production accelerates soil organic matter (SOM) decomposition and dete…
