Resumo

Soils from central Brazil have been intensively used over the last decades because of the rapid conversion of savannas (Cerrado) into corn/soybean fields. The objective of this work is to study modifications in the physical properties of soils in the Rio Verde watershed, as a function of the land use time for agriculture, determined from classification of Landsat satellite images between 1980 and 2010. Soil samples were collected at surface (0-20cm) and subsurface (20-40cm) horizons for the different classes of land use time (<10, 10-20, 20-30, and >30years). The following physical properties were measured: bulk density (BD), air permeability (K-a), penetration resistance (PR), microporosity (MI), macroporosity (MA), and total porosity (TP). Results showed a strong expansion with time of agriculture that occupied 353% (1980), 374% (1990), 513% (2000), and 609% (2010) of the watershed area. When properties were compared with those from the reference areas (preserved soils under native vegetation), significant differences were observed for all the physical attributes of soils for a land use time higher than 20years. Overall, BD and PR increased with land use time, and the opposite was verified for K-a, MA, and TP. Some physical properties presented values (e.g., 154gcm(-3) for BD and 0.06cm(3)cm(-3) for MA) close to the critical ones reported to affect crop development, but they were not still impacting on local soybean yield.
