Abstract

ABSTRACT
With the advent of the industrial Revolution, a new concern emerged in the world sphere, which is the
agravation of the greenhouse effect by the emission of gases in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide as the
main gas emitted by anthropological activity is also the one that most contributes to the intensification of the
greenhouse effect. Thus, alternatives have been sought to mitigate the effects of atmospheric emissions,
one of the alternatives found is the sequestration and storage of carbon in the soil. The present study was
carried out in the area of the e Agrotechnological Center of Palmas - TO, where a planting system with
sugarcane and an area of native forest were evaluated, which sought to evaluate the carbon stock at two
depths 0-10 and 10-40 cm. A completely randomized design (DIC), a 2x2 plot with 5 replications, was used,
where the parameters soil moisture (%), soil density (g/cm3), organic matter (g/kg), total organic carbon (g/
kg) and soil carbon stock (mg.ha-1). Through the analysis of the results obtained, it can be concluded that
the carbon stock tends to increase with depth which was demonstrated in both areas and when comparing
the two areas there were no significant differences in carbon stocks at both depths. which demonstrates
that sugarcane can be an alternative for storing carbon in the soil, but it is important to emphasize that other
factors must be taken into account.
