Abstract

2009). How-ever, productive well-managed pastures can improve degraded soils and increase soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks through humification of grass and root residues. In order to enhance pasture yields and SOC sequestra-tion, nutrient availability in soils must also be improved, especially for N and P. This work aimed to assess how SOC stocks are affected by the combination of grasses and legumes, in comparison with pure grass pastures and other land uses in a clayey Oxisol in southeast Brazil.
