البرتغالية. The rio Doce river basin has great silvicultural potential, areas cultivated with pasture are converted to forest plantations. Physical processes in the soil, especially the infiltration water, are very dependent on the type and management of its coverage. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the differences between rates of water infiltration in soils submitted to eucalyptus plantations and pasture and adjust empirical models of infiltration. The experiment was conducted at four sites in the Rio Doce river basin, MG, Brazil, where two were planted with eucalyptus and two with pasture. Five infiltration tests using the concentric rings method were performed in each area. Results show that the soils infiltration rate with eucalyptus plantations were higher than those found in soils from pasture areas, with stable infiltration rates of 78 and 165 mm h-1 in eucalyptus and 47 and 50 mm h-1 in pasture. The model of Horton indicated the highest adjusted confidence index for the four sites analyzed.
