Inadequate soil management is one of the primary causes of pasture degradation, aggravated by the replacement of natural forest environments with cultivated pastures. Thus, the objective of the present study was to quantify the flux of CO2 and organic carbon of the soil in grasslands undergoing intensive and extensive management, and in a native forest. The experiment was conducted in a randomized block design, with three treatments: intensive management system (IMS), extensive management system (EMS), and native vegetation (NV). The collected soil variables consisted of CO2 flux, organic carbon, temperature, and humidity. The CO2 flux quantification was obtained using LI-COR 8100-A equipment, chamber model 103. Carbon determination was performed according to EMBRAPA methodology, and soil temperature and humidity were plotted using a model 5TM Decagon Devices® sensor. The respective mean CO2 flux values for the IMS, EMS, and NV were 2.18; 4.04, and 1.69 μmol CO2 m-2 s-1, and the values ​​found for organic carbon content were 32.9; 24.3, and 14.9 g kg-1, respectively. The intensive management system exhibited higher CO2 flux from the soil to the atmosphere, and the soil containing native vegetation displayed greater values of organic carbon content.

AbstractFreeze–thaw (FT) events exert a great physiological stress on the soil microbial community and thus significantly impact soil biogeochemical processes. Studies often show ambiguous and contradicting results, because a multitude of environmental factors affect biogeochemical responses to FT. Thus, a better understanding of the factors driving and regulating microbial responses to FT events is required. Soil chronosequences allow more focused comparisons among soils with initially similar start conditions. We therefore exposed four soils with contrasting organic carbon contents and opposing soil age (i.e., years after restoration) from a postmining agricultural chronosequence to three consecutive FT events and evaluated soil biochgeoemical responses after thawing. The major microbial biomass carbon losses occurred after the first FT event, while microbial biomass N decreased more steadily with subsequent FT cycles. This led to an immediate and lasting decoupling of microbial biomass carbon:nitrogen stoichiometry. After the first FT event, basal respiration and the metabolic quotient (i.e., respiration per microbial biomass unit) were above pre-freezing values and thereafter decreased with subsequent FT cycles, demonstrating initially high dissimilatory carbon losses and less and less microbial metabolic activity with each iterative FT cycle. As a consequence, dissolved organic carbon and total dissolved nitrogen increased in soil solution after the first FT event, while a substantial part of the liberated nitrogen was likely lost through gaseous emissions. Overall, high-carbon soils were more vulnerable to microbial biomass losses than low-carbon soils. Surprisingly, soil age explained more variation in soil chemical and microbial responses than soil organic carbon content. Further studies are needed to dissect the factors associated with soil age and its influence on soil biochemical responses to FT events.
