          Abstract

          Estudaram-se os efeitos de diferentes sistemas florestais - “mata de panda” (MP), Pinus patula(PP), Eucalyptus grandis (EG) e Grevillea robusta (GR) instalados entre 1965 e 1968na Estação Experimental Agrícola da Chianga (Huambo, Angola), em características químicas de Solos Ferralíticos até à profundidade de 30 cm, relativamente a áreas ocupadas por cultura agrícola tradicional. Apenas as áreas com EG e GR determinaram melhorias apreciáveis na reacção, no teor de carbono orgânico, na concentração de catiões de troca não ácidos extraíveis e na capacidade de troca catiónica efectiva do solo, geralmente até 10 cm de profundidade. A “mata de panda” mostrou influência muito menos acentuada e oefeito das formações de PP foi reduzida. A capacidade de recuperação da fertilidade dos solos mostrou-se associada à natureza da cobertura florestal, mas também à natureza dos próprios solos. Os resultados também indicam que a baixa capacidade de retenção de catiões dos solos no Planalto Central de Angola pode ser aumentada pela correcção da acidez e pelo acréscimo do teor de matéria orgânica.

          Effects of different forestry covers - “mata de panda” (MP), Pinuspatula (PP)Eucalyptus grandis(EG) andGrevillearobusta (GR) - installed between 1965 and 1968 in the Estação Experimental Agrícola da Chianga(Huambo, Angola), on chemical properties of Ferrallitic Soilswere assessed up to 30 cm depth, as compared to those observed in nearby conventional agricultural fields.Only the soils of the areas with EG and GR showed a clear improvement in their reaction, content of organic carbon and of extractable non-acid cationsand effective cation exchange capacity, usuallyup to 10 cm depth. The improvement associated with “mata de panda”was less pronounced and that of PP plantations was negligible or nil.The recover capacity of soil fertility may depend on the nature of tree cover as well as on the soil characteristics itself. Results also indicate that the low soil capacity to retain cations exhibited by soils of the Planalto Central of Angola can be increased through both acidity correctionand increasingthe content of soil organic matter.
