The semiarid is characterized for presenting precipitations concentrated in short period of time, form that to most of the year the ground are displayed the strong insolation and to the raised hídrico deficit. On the other hand, the estacional variation of the climate affects the water content of the ground and as consequence the biological activity and the losses of C, mineral N and C-CO2.The purpose of this research was to analyze the losses of C, mineral N and C-CO2 of the ground in a microbasin, that passes for a process of environmental degradation, located in the Fazenda Experimental Bacia Escola/CCA/UFPB in São João do Cariri - PB, during the period of a translation, of the years of 2003 and 2004. It was defined a toposequence and chosen points of determination for the evaluation of the reserves of carbon, mineral nitrogen and microbic activity by means of the C-CO2 production. The biggest amounts of C had been verified in the areas of pediment and the minors in the area of side slopes; The amounts of mineral N was not influenced by the position of the ground in the toposeqüência; The biggest liberation of C-CO2 happened in the areas of pediment followed by the flood plain and half hillside, places with the biggest amount of of water in the soil.
