The objective of this study was to evaluate the soil losses, as well as carbon and chemical samples in runoff through areas of pine (Pinus taeda), eucalyptus (Eucalyptus dunni) and a consortium of pasture with oat (Avena stringosa) and ryegrass (Lolium multiflorium) in the Fragosos river basin, in Concordia, SC.For click here this, rainfall simulations with mean intensities of 94 mm h-1 were conducted in September and November 2011, in plots of 1 m2 established in the three areas.Runoff, loads carried of the sediment, and carbon and chemical concentrations were quantified in the experiment.The results showed that the concentrations of sediment and organic carbon were higher in the eucalyptus area.The largest concentrations of chemicals for all areas jmannino.com were nitrate, calcium, magnesium and potassium.

Total carbon, organic carbon, sediment and nitrate were transported in higher loads in the eucalyptus area.With the exception of nitrate and chloride, the chemical loads carried were higher in the pasture area.
