Spatial distribution of soil organic carbon (SOC) is the result of a combination of various factors related to both the natural environment and anthropogenic activities. The aim of this study was to examine (i) the state of SOC in topsoil and subsoil of vineyards compared to the nearest forest, (ii) the influence of soil management on SOC, (iii) the variation in SOC content with topographic position, (iv) the intensity of soil erosion in order to estimate the leaching of SOC from upper to lower topographic positions, and (v) the significance of SOC for the reduction of soil’s susceptibility to compaction. The study area was the vineyard region of Niš, which represents a medium-sized vineyard region in Serbia. About 32% of the total land area is affected, to some degree, by soil erosion. However, according to the mean annual soil loss rate, the total area is classified as having tolerable erosion risk. Land use was shown to be an important factor that controls SOC content. The vineyards contained less SOC than forest land. The SOC content was affected by topographic position. The interactive effect of topographic position and land use on SOC was significant. The SOC of forest land was significantly higher at the upper position than at the middle and lower positions. Spatial distribution of organic carbon in vineyards was not influenced by altitude, but occurred as a consequence of different soil management practices. The deep tillage at 60–80 cm, along with application of organic amendments, showed the potential to preserve SOC in the subsoil and prevent carbon loss from the surface layer. Penetrometric resistance values indicated optimum soil compaction in the surface layer of the soil, while low permeability was observed in deeper layers. Increases in SOC content reduce soil compaction and thus the risk of erosion and landslides. Knowledge of soil carbon distribution as a function of topographic position, land use and soil management is important for sustainable production and climate change mitigation.

Este trabalho investigou os efeitos da topografia e das práticas de uso e manejo do solo na variabilidade de alguns atributos do solo ao longo de três topossequências localizadas no planalto do Rio Grande do Sul. As topossequências (Tps) estão inseridas em uma bacia hidrográfica situada no município de Júlio de Castilhos. Na Tp1 foram definidos quatro pontos de amostragem e na Tp2 e Tp3, cinco pontos. Em cada perfil foram coletadas amostras em 5 camadas de solo (0‒5, 5‒10, 10‒20, 20‒40 e 40‒60 cm). Em laboratório foram determinados os atributos: densidade, argila, pH em água, carbono (C) orgânico total, fósforo (P) total, P orgânico total, P disponível, óxidos de ferro (Fe) e alumínio (Al) cristalinos e amorfos. Os resultados encontrados mostram que o movimento de sedimentos em superfície e através do perfil do solo é controlado pela posição, forma e declividade da encosta e, pelas atividades antrópicas como o uso e manejo do solo e aplicação de fertilizantes. Considerando as classes de uso da terra, os maiores teores de C e P (total, orgânico e disponível) foram obtidos na área úmida, seguido da lavoura e campo nativo. Considerando a posição na encosta os teores de C e P foram maiores na baixada seguido da base da encosta, topo e meia encosta. A condição hidromórfica ao longo das topossequências desempenhou um papel importante na disponibilidade de P, acúmulo C orgânico total e solubilização dos óxidos de Fe e Al. A B ST R A C TThis work investigated the effects of topography and land use and soil management practices on the variability of some soil properties along three toposequences located in the Rio Grande do Sul plateau, Southern Brazil. The toposequences (Tps) evaluated are from a watershed located in the municipality of Júlio de Castilhos. Soil samples were taken in four points in Tp1 and in five points in Tp2 and Tp3. In each point samples were taken at five depths (0‒5, 5‒10, 10‒20, 20‒40, and 40‒60 cm). The soil properties evaluated were soil density, clay, pH in water, total organic carbon (C), total phosphorus (P), total organic P, available P, and amorphous and crystalline iron (Fe) and aluminum (Al) oxides. Results show that the transport of sediments on the surface and through the soil profile is controlled by topographic position, landform, slope, and also by the anthropic activities such as the use and management of the soil and the application of fertilizers. Considering the classes of land use, the highest levels of C and P (total, organic and available) were obtained in the wetlands, followed by the crop fields and natural grasslands. Considering the topographic position, the contents of C and P were higher in the floodplain followed by the base of the slope, top and middle slope. Hydromorphic conditions along the toposequences played an important role in P availability, total organic C accumulation and solubilization of Fe and Al oxides.keywords: Land use, topographic position, soil profile, soil properties.
