Harvesting strategies to reduce suspended sediments in streams in fast-growing forest plantations

Carla Cristina Cassiano et al.

Summary: Intensive plantation management can impact catchment conditions, especially in large clear-cut areas, and harvesting strategies are needed to mitigate these effects. The study found that annual suspended sediment yields were directly related to the proportion of harvest, and riparian forest buffers may reduce concentrations of suspended sediments in streams.

Water budget fluxes in catchments under grassland and Eucalyptus plantations of different ages

Decio Oscar Cardoso Ferreto et al.

Summary: Planted forests, particularly eucalyptus plantations, have a significant impact on water budget fluxes in the grasslands biome of southern Brazil. The development stage of eucalyptus plantations influences water flows, with an increase in evapotranspiration and a decrease in streamflow, highlighting the importance of considering these effects in local water resource management. Studies on catchment hydrology and forest management are needed to improve water use efficiency and regulate streamflow, especially in understudied regions.

Event-based hydrology and sedimentation in paired watersheds under commercial eucalyptus and grasslands in the Brazilian Pampa biome

Ederson Diniz Ebling et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the hydrological and sedimentation impacts of commercial eucalyptus and grasslands in paired watersheds in southern Brazil. The study found that rainfall had a more evident impact on hydrological and sedimentological variables in grasslands compared to forests, and the LISEM model had limitations in calibrating and validating sediment yield for individual events due to spatial variability. The validated modeling results can be applied in simulating soil and crop scenarios in watersheds with commercial forest and grassland cover for grazing.

Comparing tillage methods for growing lowland soybean and corn during wetter-than-normal cropping seasons

Rafael Ziani Goulart et al.

Summary: Chiseling and ridging can improve soil physical environment in lowland soils, enhancing soybean and corn yields. However, in years of high rainfall, hypoxic conditions may reduce crop productivity, highlighting the importance of crop development stage in relation to oxygen levels in the root zone.

Rainfall partitioning in young clonal plantations Eucalyptus species in a subtropical environment, and implications for water and forest management

Decio Oscar Cardoso Ferreto et al.

Summary: This study investigated rainfall partitioning in a young clonal plantation of three eucalyptus species, showing that rainfall interception depends on various variables such as tree parameters, antecedent rainfall, rainfall intensity, and seasonality, and decreases with a reduction in leaf area index.

Tillage recommendation for commercial forest production: Should tillage be based on soil penetrability, bulk density or more complex, integrative properties?

Jose Miguel Reichert et al.

Summary: The study investigated the spatial variability of field-measured penetration resistance (PR) and determined the relationships between penetrability and mechanical and hydrologic properties of Planosol, Nitisol, and Regosol used for eucalyptus production. The results suggest that deep tillage is suitable for Nitisol, while shallow tillage is recommended for Planosol and Regosol.
