In the Southwestern Brazilian Amazon, a detailed study on the pedological cover of a representative toposequence for the region, characterized by lowered plateaus with topographic depressions, was carried out. The results indicated that pedogenic processes can be considered to be responsible for topographic smoothing and changes of the natural landscape. The main factor involved in this transformation process represents the upwards expansion of hydromorphic soil conditions from the topographic depressions developed in lower parts of the plateaus. This process includes internal transformations and degradations of the soil matrix leading to changes in soil structure, chemical composition and, diminishment of the original soil volume.

O procedimento de extracao em tres etapas sequenciais recomendado pelo Programa de Normas Europeias de Medicoes e Ensaios (SM&T), anteriormente nomeado por Gabinete Comunitario de Referencia (BCR), foi aplicado para a especiacao quimica de metais pesados (Cu, Pb, Cr e Zn) em sedimentos provenientes de diferentes regioes urbanizadas da Cidade de Uberlândia (MG, Brasil). Para obter o balanco de massa, uma quarta etapa, ou seja, a digestao do residuo foi realizada atraves do processo de digestao assistida por micro-ondas em meio acido. Maiores concentracoes dos elementos metalicos foram encontradas em pontos de amostragem que recebem descarga de uma area urbana e uma zona industrial. Todos os metais, exceto Zn, estavam presentes em maiores concentracoes nas fracoes residuais (fortemente associados com as estruturas cristalinas dos minerais), indicando que Cu, Pb e Cr foram menos moveis e potencialmente menos biodisponiveis nesses sedimentos. Em sedimentos de zonas de descargas industriais e urbanas, a sequencia de mobilidade dos metais estudados foi Pb > Zn > Cu > Cr. Maiores concentracoes de Pb foram encontradas nas fracoes residuais no ponto de amostragem localizado no afluente que drena a zona industrial (102 mg kg -1 ), indicando que este elemento metalico foi fortemente ligado aos sedimentos. Portanto, sob os pontos de vista toxicologico e ambiental, o Pb nao causa impacto ao meio ambiente e consequentemente a saude humana. A soma das quatro fracoes (soluvel em acido, redutivel, oxidavel e residual) apresentou boa concordância com o teor total, o que comprova a exatidao do procedimento de extracao por micro-ondas em conjunto com o metodo analitico FAAS. A three-step sequential extraction procedure recommended by the European Standards, Measurements and Testing (SM&T) Program, formerly the Community Bureau of Reference (BCR), was applied to the chemical speciation of heavy metals (Cu, Pb, Cr and Zn) in sediments from different populated zones of Uberlândia City (MG State, Brazil). To obtain a mass balance, a fourth step, i.e., digestion and analysis of the residue, was performed using a microwave-assisted acid digestion procedure. The highest metallic elements concentrations were observed at one of the sampling points which receive discharge from an urban area and an industrial zone. All metals, except Zn, were present at higher concentrations in the residual fractions (strongly associated with the crystalline structures of the minerals) indicating that Cu, Pb and Cr were less mobile and potentially less bioavailable in these sediments. In sediments from industrial and urban discharge zones the mobility sequence of the heavy metals studied was Pb > Zn > Cu > Cr. The highest Pb concentrations were found in the residual fractions at the sampling point located in the tributary stream that drains the industrial district (102 mg kg -1 ), indicating that this metallic element was strongly bound to the sediments. Therefore, under the contamination and toxicological point of view, Pb has no impact to the environment and consequently to the human health. The sum of the four fractions (acid-soluble + reducible + oxidizable + residual) was in good agreement with the total content, which verifies the accuracy of the microwave extraction procedure in conjunction with the FAAS analytical method.

The Cerrado soils suffer impacts related to the conversion of the original vegetation in agricultural systems, e.g., in the imbalances of stocks and nature of carbon. The Triângulo Mineiro region has been deforested by supporting the expansion of agribusiness and presents serious problems related to soil erosion. This study aimed to assess changes in content (Ctotal) and in nature (δ13C) of soil organic carbon after conversion of cerrado in different agricultural uses (pasture, soybean and soybean / corn), management (tillage and no-tillage). The results showed that changes in the values related to the use and management are also determined by the textural characteristics of soils formed by the alteration of different rock types. Among the different uses and management, the greater enrichment of the carbon content was determined in the no-tillage soybean / corn in a clayey soil and the further impoverishment was determined in not managed pastures developed in sandy soils from sandstones of Adamantina and Marilia Formations. These studies are useful for use as quality indicators for environmental conservation.

A rapida degradacao do solo sob exploracao agropecuaria no mundo, especialmente nos paises tropicais em desenvolvimento, despertou, nas ultimas decadas, a preocupacao com a qualidade do solo e a sustentabilidade da exploracao agricola. No Brasil, as areas originalmente recobertas com vegetacao de Cerrado (savanas) vem sendo desmatadas e substituidas por sistemas agropecuarios. As mudancas no uso da terra deste bioma podem induzir alteracoes no teor de carbono nos solos, de acordo com os tipos de uso e praticas de manejo. Este trabalho objetiva avaliar o teor e a origem do carbono orgânico do solo em uma area de Cerrado nativo apos a conversao da vegetacao em area de pastagem, visando apresentar o nivel de degradacao do solo em relacao a atividade, ao manejo e ao tempo de uso do mesmo. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida na Bacia do Ribeirao Bom Jardim, situada entre as porcoes sul do municipio de Uberlândia e norte do municipio de Uberaba, estado de Minas Gerais. Os resultados das analises de carbono total (%C) e carbono isotopico (?13C), representativas dessas duas categorias de uso – remanescente de cerrado arboreo e pastagem degradada –, revelaram maior empobrecimento no teor de carbono nas areas sob pastagem degradada.
