Contribution of low crystalline compounds and wetting and drying cycles in the genesis of the cohesive character in Cearà soils / ContribuiÃÃo de compostos de baixa cristalinidade e ciclos de umedecimento e secagem na gÃnese do carÃter coeso em solos do CearÃ

CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeiÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior / The Coastal Plains exhibit cohesive soils, which can cause physical impediments to root penetration and water dynamics. However, in the genesis of these horizons are not completely understood. Thus, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the influence of amorphous compounds in the genesis of cohesive horizons in soils of different textures of the Coastal Plains of CearÃ, as well as verify, through physical behavior of these soils in the presence and absence of these compounds. This study also aimed to evaluate the influence of wetting and drying cycles in the density of these soils. To evaluate the effect of amorphous compounds in soil cohesion, we used samples from the air-dried cohesive horizons 9 soil profiles of the state of CearÃ, these being subjected to two treatments: with and without extraction of amorphous compounds. The samples (with and without extraction) were subjected to 3 cycles of wetting and drying, and subsequently, the penetration resistance (PR), hydraulic conductivity and bulk density were determined. To assess the influence of wetting and drying cycles in the density of these soils were performed 3 different levels of wetting and drying cycles (3, 6, 9 cycles). After these cycles, penetration resistance resistance and density were evaluated. The additions of silica and aluminum low crystalline (amorphous) in cohesive soils show that these compounds contribute jointly in the genesis of these horizons. Regardless of texture, soil that passed through the extraction process of amorphous compounds showed a significant reduction in soil resistance to penetration and density. It was found that these soils, the hydraulic conductivity was higher than that observed in soil without extraction of amorphous compounds. Thus, it is clear the contribution of these compounds in the hardening in cohesive soils. With regard to the effects of wetting and drying cycles assessed characteristics of the soil (RP and density), it was observed that in general, increasing the number of cycles caused a subtle increase in bulk density. Soils that have gone by 9 cycles of wetting and drying showed a remarkable increase in RP in relation to soils soils that have undergone 3and 6 cycles. / Os Tabuleiros Costeiros apresentam solos com carÃter coeso, os quais podem ocasionar impedimento fÃsico à penetraÃÃo das raÃzes e à dinÃmica da Ãgua. No entanto, a gÃnese desses horizontes nÃo està completamente esclarecida. Dessa forma, objetivou-se com o presente trabalho avaliar a influÃncia de compostos amorfos na gÃnese de horizontes com carÃter coeso em solos de diferentes texturas dos Tabuleiros Costeiros do CearÃ, bem como verificar, atravÃs de anÃlises fÃsicas o comportamento desses solos na presenÃa e na ausÃncia desses compostos. Objetivou-se tambÃm, avaliar a influÃncia de ciclos de umedecimento e secagem no adensamento desses solos. Para avaliaÃÃo do efeito dos compostos amorfos na coesÃo dos solos, foram utilizadas amostras de TFSA de horizontes com carÃter coeso de 9 perfis de solo do estado do CearÃ, sendo estas, submetidas a 2 tratamentos: com e sem extraÃÃo de compostos amorfos. As amostras (com e sem extraÃÃo) foram submetidas a 3 ciclos de umedecimento e secagem e, posteriormente, a resistÃncia à penetraÃÃo (RP), condutividade hidrÃulica e densidade do solo foram determinadas. Para avaliaÃÃo da influÃncia dos ciclos de umedecimento e secagem no adensamento desses solos, foram aplicados 3 diferentes nÃmeros de ciclos de umedecimento e secagem (3, 6, 9 ciclos). ApÃs esses ciclos, a resistÃncia do solo à penetraÃÃo e densidade foram avaliadas. Os acrÃscimos de sÃlica e de alumÃnio de baixa cristalinidade (amorfos) nos horizontes coesos evidenciam que esses compostos contribuem conjuntamente na gÃnese destes horizontes. Independente da textura, os solos que passaram pelo processo de extraÃÃo de compostos amorfos apresentaram uma reduÃÃo significativa na resistÃncia do solo à penetraÃÃo e na densidade. Verificou-se que nesses solos, a condutividade hidrÃulica foi superior Ãquela observada nos solos sem a extraÃÃo dos compostos amorfos. Desse modo, fica clara a contribuiÃÃo desses compostos no endurecimento dos solos coesos. No que se refere aos efeitos dos ciclos de umedecimento e secagem nas caracterÃsticas avaliadas do solo (RP e densidade), observou-se que de um modo geral, o aumento do nÃmero de ciclos provocou um sutil aumento na densidade do solo. Os solos que passaram pelos 9 ciclos de umedecimento e secagem apresentaram um aumento significativo na RP em relaÃÃo aos solos que solos que passaram por 3 e 6 ciclos.
