Nitrogen stable isotopic composition of leaves and soil: tropical versus temperate forests
Luiz Antonio Martinelli,Marisa de Cássia Piccolo,Alan R. Townsend,Peter M. Vitousek,Elvira Cuevas,William H. McDowell,G. P. Robertson,O. C. Santos,Kathleen K. Treseder +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the nitrogen stable isotopic composition of tree leaves and soils from a variety of tropical and temperate forests was compared, and it was shown that tropical forests are relatively more 15N enriched than temperately forests.
Journal ArticleDOI
Organic matter dynamics and carbon sequestration rates for a tillage chronosequence in a Brazilian Oxisol
João Carlos de Moraes Sá,Carlos Clemente Cerri,Warren A. Dick,Rattan Lal,Solismar P. Venske Filho,Marisa de Cássia Piccolo,Brigitte E. Feigl +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors assessed the amount and rates of C sequestration under a plow and no-tillage chronosequence located in Parana State, Brazil.
Journal ArticleDOI
Soil carbon and nitrogen stocks following forest clearing for pasture in the southwestern Brazilian Amazon
Christopher Neill,Jerry M. Melillo,Paul A. Steudler,Carlos Clemente Cerri,Jener F. L. de Moraes,Marisa de Cássia Piccolo,Marciano de Medeiros Pereira Brito +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined changes to soil bulk density and nitrogen stocks in seven chronosequences, each consisting of an intact forest and pastures of different ages created directly from cleared forest (7 forests, 18 pastures), along a 700 km transect in Rondonia in the southwestern Amazon Basin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biogeochemical cycles of nutrients in tropical Eucalyptus plantations Main features shown by intensive monitoring in Congo and Brazil
Jean-Paul Laclau,Jacques Ranger,José Leonardo de Moraes Gonçalves,Valérie Maquère,Alex V. Krusche,Armel Thongo M’Bou,Yann Nouvellon,Laurent Saint-André,Jean-Pierre Bouillet,Marisa de Cássia Piccolo,Philippe Deleporte +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the biogeochemical cycle of nutrients in tropical Eucalyptus plantations and indicated the importance of carefully managing organic matter in these soils, showing that high growth rates the first months after planting were essential to take advantage of the large amounts of nutrients released into the soil solutions by organic matter mineralization after harvesting.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cropping systems, carbon sequestration and erosion in Brazil, a review
Martial Bernoux,Carlos Clemente Cerri,Carlos Eduardo Pellegrino Cerri,Marcos Siqueira Neto,Aurélie Metay,Anne-Sophie Perrin,Eric Scopel,Tantely Razafimbelo,Didier Blavet,Marisa de Cássia Piccolo,Mariana Pavei,Eleanor Milne +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the adoption of no-tillage systems and the maintenance of a permanent vegetation cover (Direct seeding Mulched based Cropping system [DMC]), may increase carbon levels in the top-soil.
