de Moraes Goncalves, J.L.[et al.]
This paper reports the effect of site management practices of minimum and intensive cultivation of the soil on the growth of a stand of Eucalyptus grandis, the chemical and physical characteristics of the soil, the nutrient cycling, and the configuration of the root system. The study site is a commercial plantation of Eucalyptus grandis in Itatinga district, Sao Paulo State, Brazil. The natural vegetation of the area is cerrado, the climatic and soil conditions of which are representative of extensive blocks of homogeneous forest on the Sao Paulo plateau. The studies began in July 1995. In this paper we present some results of the effect of the treatments on tree growth and on physical characteristics of the soil (moisture and temperature) as well as on nutrient uptake and cycling. These results show significant effects on a number of processes that are important for plantation productivity.
