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…
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…
