Abstract
O caráter coeso é um atributo característico de horizontes subsuperficiais de solos que apresentam consistência muito dura a extremamente dura, quando secos, passando a friável ou firme, quando umedecidos. A formação desses horizontes, entretanto, ainda é um assunto polêmico, não estando completamente esclarecida. Este trabalho objetivou caracterizar e identificar os possíveis mecanismos envolvidos na formação dos horizontes coesos de solos dos Tabuleiros Costeiros, buscando entender sua gênese e definir propriedades que possam complementar a definição do caráter coeso no Sistema Brasileiro de Classificação de Solos. Quatro perfis de solos da região dos Tabuleiros Costeiros de Alagoas foram estudados: um Argissolo Amarelo, um Argissolo Acinzentado e dois Latossolos Amarelos. Os solos foram descritos morfologicamente, e amostras dos horizontes coesos e não coesos foram coletadas para execução de análises físicas e químicas. A caracterização morfológica constatou a presença de horizontes com caráter coeso tanto nas áreas sob floresta quanto nas áreas sob cultivo, confirmando sua natureza pedogenética. A morfologia e a densidade do solo, aliadas à determinação da superfície específica, mostraram-se eficientes na identificação dos horizontes coesos dos solos estudados.
The cohesive character is an attribute of subsurface soil horizons with hard to extremely hard consistency when dry, and friable or firm when wetted. Despite the agricultural importance, the formation of these horizons is not yet completely understood. The objective of this study was to characterize and assess the possible mechanisms involved in the formation of cohesive horizons in soils of the Coastal Tablelands of Northeast Brazil, in order to understand their pedogenesis and to identify physical and chemical parameters that can be used for the definition of the cohesive character in the Brazilian System of Soil Classification. Four soil profiles were morphologically characterized: a Yellow Argisol (Ultisol), a Gray Argisol (Ultisol) and two Yellow Latosols (Oxisols). Samples from cohesive and non-cohesive horizons were taken for physical and chemical analysis. The morphological description revealed the presence of the cohesive character both under forest as well as under cultivation, confirming its pedogenetic nature. Soil morphology and soil density, together with the specific surface area efficiently identified the cohesive character in the studied soils.
