- GHG full account and mitigation strategies in Brachiaria pastures submitted to different management, AP.TEM
Abstract
This project aims to quantify the main sources of greenhouse gases emissions associated with livestock activity in pastures in southeastern Brazil. The main issues to be studied are: the methane emitted from enteric fermentation of ruminants, nitrous oxide emitted by feces of grazing animals and carbon dioxide exchanged by soil and vegetation. The addition of fats in the diet could redu...
- Impact of management practices on soil CO2 emission in sugarcane production areas, Southern Brazil, AP.PFPMCG.TEM
Abstract
The population increase in the next decades puts a direct pressure over aspects that appear to be paradoxical: more food and energy production together with environmental protection. In addition IPCC reports have pointed to the need of adaptation in several productive sectors, including Latin America, as higher temperatures and drier periods are expected. Hence, in near future agricultu...
- Loss of carbon from the soil predicted by first order decomposition model: effect of the breaking down of aggregates and the incorporation of the vegetal cover on the emissions induced by the preparation, AP.R
Abstract
Preparation of the soil stimulates the loss of carbon (C) through the increase in aeration, improvement in the temperature and humidity conditions of the soil and through the release of a fraction of the labile organic matter (OM) previously protected by aggregates from decomposition. In this work we present the development of a model capable of explaining the emissions of carbon dioxid...

- Expansion of sugarcane areas under different management systems: a long-term study, BP.PD
Abstract
Currently, the most common scenario for Brazilian sugarcane expansion is the conversion of pastures to sugarcane crops, where significant losses or gains of carbon in the soil can occur due to the specific management adopted in sugarcane. In this context, this research project aims to assess the impact of pasture conversion on sugarcane crops as a function of cover crops and conservatio...
- CO2 emissions associated with soil attributes and residues of summer season and off-season crops in areas under no-tillage, BP.DR
Abstract
Soil CO2 emission (FCO2) in agricultural areas is a process that results from the interaction of different factors such as the climate and soil conditions. In addition, the adopted practices of soil and crop managements determine the intensity of this process. Although the effects of agricultural activities on the FCO2 are reported in several studies, there is still a lack of studies as...
- Soil CO2 emission after management associated to soil physical properties under no-tillage system, BP.MS
Abstract
Among the greenhouse gases CO2 is the largest contributor to the so called "additional greenhouse effect" in the last 200 years, accounting for 60% of global warming. Among the main sources of CO2 highlights are the burning of fossil fuels and agriculture, the latter mainly through changes in land use and soil management. One of the strategies to reduce the CO2 contribution to global wa...
- Spatial variability of CO2 emission associated bacterial communities and soil properties in area of sugar cane, BP.DR
Abstract
Studies on the composition and physiology of microbial communities in soils are key in understanding how microorganisms such influence and are influenced by the environment, especially in agricultural areas. The populations of microorganisms have an essential role in recycling the chemical elements in the soil, for example by controlling the dynamic of stabilization and decomposition of...

- Fractal dimension and anisotropy of greenhouse gases emission and soil attributes in a sugarcane area, BE.EP.DR
Abstract
Soil greenhouse gas emission possess spatial dependence with variable structure at different scales and directions (called here as anisotropy). This variability is influenced by tillage and management practices that modify soil attributes directly related to the dynamics of soil carbon in the agricultural environment. The aim of this project is to assess the spatial variability of soil ...
- Comparison of techniques for measuring nitrous oxide emission from soils of agricultural and livestock systems, BE.EP.PD
Abstract
Increasing nitrous oxide (N2O) concentration in the atmosphere is an environmental concern because of its reaction with stratospheric ozone and its contribution to the enhanced greenhouse effect. Agriculture is a major source of N2O, contributing approximately with 50% of global emission and according to the second National Inventory of Greenhouse Gases Emissions from Brazil, total N2O ...
