According to ABRAF (Brazilian Association of Planted Forest Producers), the country’s area of forest plantations was 7 million ha in 2011 and it is expected to further increase up to 8 million ha until 2014. Several studies have indicated changes in the soil organic matter (SOM) stocks after introduction of forest in grassland areas (Gatto et al., 2010; Fialho and Zinn, 2012). However, studies about the alteration of the SOM composition after afforestation are still scare. In this context, the chemical composition of SOM from Acacia and Eucalyptus plantation areas in Southern Brazil (30º32’S, 52º31’W) was investigated by Pyrolysis-Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS). An adjacent area, exhibiting the initial condition before forest plantation, was used as reference.
