Dynamic soil hydraulic properties in regenerative agriculture: Effects of crop and forest integration in livestock systems
Regenerative agriculture has been enhanced worldwide to improve the environmental, social and economic dimensions of sustainable food production. This study aimed to compare three different integrated livestock systems against a single livestock system under regenerative agriculture practices, investigating how the integrations affect soil structure, emphasizing soil hydraulic properties. The experiment was established in 2012 on clayey soil at the Canguiri Experimental Station, Pinhais municipality, PR, Brazil. The experimental design was a randomized block with three blocks and four treatments: Livestock (L), Crop-Livestock (CL), Livestock-Forest (LF) and Crop-Livestock-Forest (CLF). All systems are managed pesticide-free and according to conservation tillage principles. The samples were collected in 2022, down to 0.30 m. Soil attributes analyzed included saturated hydraulic conductivity (Ks), intrinsic air permeability of soil (Ka) at matric potentials −3 kPa and −10 kPa, soil bulk density (BD), total porosity, porosity of large macropores (MAC; ∅>100 μm), macroporosity (MaP; ∅>30 μm), microporosity (MIC; ∅<30 μm), plant-available water (PAWC), air-filled porosity, organization and connectivity indexes and soil carbon stock (Cst). Integrated systems such as Crop-Livestock (CL) and Crop-Livestock-Forest (CLF) exhibit better soil hydraulic properties compared to Livestock (L). The L and LF systems showed similarities and maintained adequate structural characteristics. The analysis revealed the formation of two clusters: the first, consisting of the CL (Crop-Livestock) and CLF (Crop-Livestock-Forest) systems, demonstrated a positive association among Ks, Ka(MAC), Ka(MaP), Cst and MIC. The second cluster, which includes the L (Livestock) and LF (Livestock-Forest) systems, suggested a possible relationship between BD and Map. The quality of the cluster analysis was considered robust, with a cophenetic correlation of 0.75. The statistical tests indicated that these differences were significant (p < 0.05). These findings highlight that integrating cropland with livestock, as in CL and CLF systems, enhances soil structure and pore functionality, while maintaining carbon stocks contributes to long-term sustainability.
期刊介绍:
Soil & Tillage Research examines the physical, chemical and biological changes in the soil caused by tillage and field traffic. Manuscripts will be considered on aspects of soil science, physics, technology, mechanization and applied engineering for a sustainable balance among productivity, environmental quality and profitability. The following are examples of suitable topics within the scope of the journal of Soil and Tillage Research:
The agricultural and biosystems engineering associated with tillage (including no-tillage, reduced-tillage and direct drilling), irrigation and drainage, crops and crop rotations, fertilization, rehabilitation of mine spoils and processes used to modify soils. Soil change effects on establishment and yield of crops, growth of plants and roots, structure and erosion of soil, cycling of carbon and nutrients, greenhouse gas emissions, leaching, runoff and other processes that affect environmental quality. Characterization or modeling of tillage and field traffic responses, soil, climate, or topographic effects, soil deformation processes, tillage tools, traction devices, energy requirements, economics, surface and subsurface water quality effects, tillage effects on weed, pest and disease control, and their interactions.
