Dinâmica do amônio e nitrato em solos consorciados com plantios de Paricá (Schizolobium Amazonicum) em Aurora do Pará, Pará

Abstract

To obtain knowledge of the dynamics of nitrogen in soil in the forms of mineral-N: ammonium and nitrate from 3 different areas cultivated with paricá, paricá x freijó (PF), mahogany x paricá (PM), paricá x curauá x freijó (PCF) and secondary forest, was estimated rates of net mineralization and nitrification, stocks of carbon and nitrogen, pH, urease, basal respiration and physical parameters (density and total porosity). The study was conducted in northeastern Para in the city of Aurora do Para, in the farm business Tramontina SA, in October and November of 2007, representing the dry season, while January and march representing the rainy season. In all areas of the farm cultivated samples for chemical and physical analysis were taken at depths of 0-10, 10-20 and 20-30 cm. For net mineralization of the highest values occurred in the dry season, this result was observed for all areas of cultive. For net nitrification of the highest values occurred in October 2007 in the areas of secondary forest and paricá x curauá x freijó and the month of March in the areas of mahogany x paricá (PM) and paricá x freijó (PF). The values for the rates of net nitrification showed that there was significant interaction between treatment and season. The values of carbon stocks for all areas in the dry season varied from 11-17 Mg/ha and in the rainy season of 15-25 Mg/ha. The values for the storage of nitrogen varied from 0,78-1,80 Mg/ha in the dry season and 0,76-1,47 Mg/ha in the rainy season. The relation C/N for all systems was around 15/1 indicating a rapid process of decomposition of organic matter in soils.
